Just wanted to drop a quick line to say Happy Thanksgiving to any Canadian readers I have lurking out there. I also want to give a shout out to those who have the day off celebrating a guy who was trying to find India and who not only failed to find it, but didn’t even realize it and named the native people Indians. I guess it’s a double day of celebrating colonialism, but hey, at least there’s turkey.
On a slightly more upbeat note, here's a favorite clip related to Thanksgiving from The West Wing, wherein President Bartlett reflects on the search for religious freedom the pilgrims sought in the 'new' world.
