Thoughts while heading into the weekend before Thanksgiving, where the local Fry’s will be packed from produce to patio decor with shoppers frantically loading up on everything from potatoes to pumpkin pie makings…

This year at the behest of the twins I’m planning on cooking an 18 lb. turkey – the largest I’ve ever done. Me, I’m most comfortable in the 11-13 lb range. Anything more than that and its extra everything you’ve got to come up with – potatoes, stuffing, gravy. Not to mention the additional refrigerator space.

If I were ever to do karaoke, this is the song I would choose.

Is Tim Tebow one of the premier QBs in the NFL? Hardly, but the young man is a winner. And to do what he did against those evil blowhard New York J-E-T-S Jets ought to warm the cockles of every true football fan’s heart. Unfortunately, you listen to the cable and national sports talk stations and all you hear is people who ought to know better ragging on and sneering about his faith. Look under the covers, however, and you’ll find a football player:

He finished 9-20 for 104 yards and rushed eight times for 68 yards, including that game-winning touchdown. He was sloppy at points (a lot of them), but he says he doesn’t care about how it looks or how other people think it should look “More than anything,” he told NFL Network, “I just want to win football games.” And you believe him.

And that’s all it should be about, regardless of what all the Christian-haters out there think. Me, I can’t wait for the first NFL Muslim QB so all these elitists can fall over themselves saying what a credit he is to his religion. The hatred of Christians out there is real, folks, believe me.

Want to know the difference between the Tea Partiers and the Occupy Wall Street movement? The Tea Partiers respected the rule of law and the Constitution, and believed in using the political process to get their point across. These Occupy folks are nothing but brain-dead pampered narcissists who have no respect for anyone and anything but their juvenile slogans and chants. They’re nothing but a clueless Marxist-Leninist horde who think slogans, intimidating people, and shouting people down is akin to freedom of speech. It is not. You want a model for Occupy Wall Street? Think the French, Russian, and Cuban revolutions, and if you think it can’t happen here you’re dreaming. This country better start getting a handle on these losers rather than coddling them before they get even more violent. Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen, and a lot of people are going to get killed or hurt before this thing is brought under control, mark my words.
