Quote of the Day -- Thanksgiving, Republican Party Edition
A staggering one in EIGHT Americans reported they sometimes or often didn’t have enough food to eat in the past week. That’s nearly 26 million Americans who are going hungry the week of Thanksgiving. And a full quarter of out-of-work Americans with children at home reported not having enough food to eat. The numbers are worse for Black households than for white ones: 22 percent of Black households reported going hungry in the past week, over 2.5 times the rate for white households. Food banks are overwhelmed trying to meet the new surge in demand: “We'll be hard pressed to keep up. We’re just bracing for the worst,” said the CEO of Feeding Texas.
Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell adjourned the Senate last week and let them skip town early for Thanksgiving. He and his do nothing Senate Republicans get to go home to their families and sit down to a table bursting with food, while 26 million of their fellow Americans starve. As long as their rich friends are happy now that the stock market is soaring, they couldn’t be bothered to serve their constituents. It’s one of the grossest abdications of duty I’ve ever seen. There are no words to truly describe Mitch McConnell’s moral bankruptcy.
--Robert Reich
Thanks, Senator McConnell
Thanks, Republicans.

In Thanksgiving
We return thanks to our mother, the earth,
which sustains us.
We return thanks to the rivers and streams,
which supply us with water.
We return thanks to all herbs,
which furnish medicines for the cure of our diseases.
We return thanks to the moon and stars,
which have given to us their light when the sun was gone.
We return thanks to the sun,
that has looked upon the earth with a beneficent eye.
Lastly, we return thanks to the Great Spirit,
in Whom is embodied all goodness,
and Who directs all things for the good of Her children.
--Iroquois

Happy Thanksgiving
A couple flashbacks.
With this next one, I realized Homer Simpson, of "The Simpsons" is the same character as the father in "The Munsters", Herman Munster. Same guy, same gag. Both work.
Have a great day and weekend, y'all.

An Old, Longtime Favorite Prayer of Thanks
I saw this, years ago, as a child and never forgot it. From the movie "Shenandoah" with, obviously, Jimmy Stewart. I also love what the poster of the video called the clip, naturally.
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.
