As migration approached, two elderly vultures doubted they would be able to make the trip south, so they decided to go by airplane. When they checked their baggage, the attendant noticed that they were carrying two dead raccoons. “Do you wish to check the raccoons through as luggage?” she asked. “No, thanks,” replied the vultures. “They’re carrion”

Are you one of those people who, around the time of Thanksgiving, are stricken by the grief and anguish of knowing that we are celebrating the beginning of European expansion into America and, tragically, the help given to those Europeans by the Native Americans whose culture and population were subsequently obliterated, annihilated, taken to the brink of extinction through Jacksonian policies and Manifest Destiny, causing but two words to tear through your brain with every bite of stuffing and mashed potatoes, every sip of hot cider and every fork-full of Pumpkin pie–Wounded Knee! Wounded Knee!–to make you wonder why we’re giving thanks for THAT, the horrible irony of the Holiday??

Or are you just pissed because turkeys have feelings too.

Not to worry.

With the Blue States in hand, the Democrats have firm

control of 80% of the world’s fresh water, over 90% of our pineapple

and lettuce, 93% of the artichoke production, 95% of America’s export

quality wines, 90% of all cheese production, most of the US

low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the

Ivy League and Seven Sister schools, plus Stanford, CalTech and MIT. We can

live simply but well.

The Red States, on the other hand, now have to cope with 88% of all

obese Americans (and their projected health care cost spike), 92% of

all US mosquitoes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, 100% of all

Televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the

University of Georgia. A high price to pay for controlling the

presidency.
