Thanks No Thanks Giving

Reasons to be thankful

We are in only two wars.

The banks will be saved.

Auto-execs still have their private planes.

Hurricanes have blown off New Orleans.

Gas prices are down.

Politicians are back in their capitals.

The campaign is over.

The bubble has burst.

There is nothing left to hit the fan.

We’ve reached the peak of Shit Creek.

Give me a wing.

Reasons to be not thankful

Now that corn accounts for almost half the calories Americans eat, either through processed food or in corn fed meat, I propose we call ourselves Corn-Americans. Pop my cob.

Wall Street thought housing was the new corn. Just grind up everyone’s dreams together and you’ve got McDonald’s. Everything worked out. Out of the corn hole.
