Thanksgiving Prayer

Dessert Errata
A PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

Go resignedly to the folks’ remembering it’s just for a few hours. Though you must make appearances at her side as well as your own, eat with as much relish as you can muster, for this, too, shall pass. Choose carefully your words, gingerly stepping around your cousin Ruth’s latest fiasco with the Arthur Murray instructor, and ask not about Marlene.
Let on not that you have heard the stories before, and utter them not aloud simultaneously nor anticipate the punch lines. Chew with vigor and bite thy tongue, for the bird hath been cooked since Tuesday, yet praise it tenderly for it never heard a compliment in life. Be sage about the dressing though you know not the origin of the little hard things; should you bite into the wedding band, return it with discretion. Though it resemble syrup, pour not the Manischewitz on the sherbet.

Avoid your Uncle Lou; he is vexatious to the spirit. Kick not your little brother under the table, but show the forbearance of the season and pound him later. Picture Naomi and the kids as alien life-forms, and learn from them. Shout not at Gram, for she heareth what she chooseth. Though you take on much wine, sing not The Barber of Seville nor show undue attention to your niece, who has become quite the young lady. If belch thou must, let it not herald the start of a contest. Mince no words over the piece of pie which passeth all understanding.

Above all, say nothing on the ride home, even though the temptation to cite what might have happened but didn’t be great. For that give silent thanks, resolving to firm up those plans for Aruba over Christmas.

Amen.

5 Reasons to Keep Your Tunic Buttoned

1. Because there are surges and there are urges.
2. Ask yourself would it be ok if my wife did it with her biographer?
3. In a pinch there’s always MILCOMM sex.
4. I don’t know, maybe because they call you General All In?
5. None of the ribbons are for that.

OK so who gets the binders of women?

I am so relieved to be able to plan parenthood again. In retrospect, but still.

Paulie Ryan’s back in the House, not making eye contact. What can you say about a guy who can’t deliver Janesville?

It’s all good. Joe Biden can be Joe Biden.
Paul Ryan can take another look at the figures.

Mitt Romney can strip him some assets.
The President’s ground game forces can tackle global warming.

President Obama getting all weepy, though. When he and Speaker Boehner get together the dam is going to burst. The Fiscal Dam.
Inundate the Fiscal Valley.

I’ve got post-electum. When you feel nobody’s out to get you any longer.

No robocalls, no spam, nothing but Hong Kong Cafe menus on the doorknob.

Used and abandoned. What gives? Am I not a middle-class man?
A little help here!

Still, nice to have the time to leisurely pick through elective surgeries. I’m thinking Obama cosmetic care.

President Obama’s second term all about climate change. Me, I do climate change first term, get it out of the way, second term a no-brainer like gum recession.

In other news that isn’t, if any–

You can now smoke pot in Colorado, but its a drag being arrested when you’re high.

After the President’s reelection anti-Obama movie goes straight to power point.

Much GOP soul searching; so far, nothing.

The Petraeus affair comes down to do you want a good biography, or don’t you?

‘All In’, all right, but the headline writers have to stop with the ‘imbedded’ already.

All this could have been avoided if Petraeus had been appointed to head the Secret Service.

Next guy who says “fiscal cliff” gets it. Oops.

At least call it the FC. Except KFC wouldn’t like it.

Is that a fiscal cliff or are you unhappy to see me?

Think that new super earth has a super fiscal cliff?

Does not a fiscal cliff imply fiscal lemmings? And who might they be?

Anyone come up with fiscal cliff notes?

And, is it really a fiscal cliff or just adjacent to the fiscal hole?

Everybody says ‘fiscal cliff’ a hundred times fast it will lose its magic powers.

Anyway,

A rich man getting into heaven may still be a camel through a needle, but an oil executive is now Archbishop of Canterbury.

Good news–its not Tony Hayward.

Romney Loss Re-Examined. Yup, still there.

Republicans look at salsa lessons to close Latin gap, and

Man had tools 70,000 years ago but forgets where he left them.

                                              The Not So Great Debates of 2012

 

                                                                       I

 

 

Obama rope-a-dope lets Romney hit him at will as he leans on ropes.

 

The old pro is stripping the president’s assets.

 

At this rate little doubt the President will be celebrating next anniversary with Michelle.

 

Romney makes a pretty good Mona Lisa on Etch a Sketch.

 

Obama looks like he has someplace to be.

 

Romney does to Big Bird what Oscar the Grouch has longed to.

 

Now the President knows how Seamus the setter felt.

 

Explains why Obama didn’t play much at Hawaii.

 

Night goes to Mitt Romney and Miguel Cabrera as Romney is the October Surprise.

 

 

                                                                     II

 

Binders?  Full of women?

 

Binders of men seeking binders of women.

 

Obama slips says Detroit dead bin Laden alive.

 

Candy Crowley crawls out of binder to fact check Mitt on Benghazi.

 

Romney was, too, an act of terror moment goes terribly wrong.

 

Quarantined CNN uncommitted voters decide not to vote at all.

 

Romney lump of clean coal in every stocking quip falls flat.

 

Romney 5 point plan the 3 plus the other 2.

 

Obama whittles Romney 5 point plant down to 1 which should be a time saver.

 

Obama comeback kids it with command of unchecked facts and a little help from Candy.

 

 

                                                                III

 

 

Debate past Bob Schieffer’s bedtime could be factor.

 

Boca Raton meaning “rat mouth” may be portentous.

 

Romney reminisces about missing the 1916 Navy when boats were boats.

 

Obama patiently informs Romney we have boats now that go under the water, and carriers that planes land on.

 

As Romney considers this, a mounted Obama bayonets him, making Romney’s point for him by proving the obsolete can still be useful.

 

Romney, dazed, visualizes whirled peas. Says since Obama so good with foreigners maybe could keep that part of the job.

 

Bayonet gap instantly the new missile gap.

 

Obama has even more material leftover from the Al Smith dinner he doesn’t use.

 

80’s calling fine with Romney as long as it’s not about bringing back the tax rates.

 

Performance results in clearance on all Romney Halloween masks.  

 

Obamas finally have a moment to celebrate anniversary.

 

 

                                                          #############
