Tim Blair

That fiberglass beer can give one a wicked hangover. I prefer polyester wine.

Paper vodka. Oh, wait, that's real.

Tim: I'll eat a second turkey just for you today, and may Allah grant us victory in our Jihad against the infidel bird.

Bush Turkey 1

Bush Turkey 2

I'll be eating enough turkey for all of you! (Die, infidel bird! Die!)

And I'll be giving thanks for the blogosphere too, without which I would have little idea of what was really going on in the world. Today is definitely a day of thankfulness for Tim Blair and Andrea Harris, and the work they do in keeping us informed (and amused).

The turkey was real, the documents were fake.
Please review, then MoveOn

What is great about plastic turkey is the leftovers do not require refrigeration.

Don't forget the American Prospect!

“a president who could fly halfway around the world to pose for a photo op with a fake turkey”, Charles B. Pierce, 11/18/04

You know, even Islamic fundamentalist, US despising, infidel-hater Osama Bin Ladin was smart enough to avoid the whole "fake" turkey nonsense. It's quite sad when Western moonbats are less informed than a guy who spends half his time shuttling between tiny villages and caves.

P.S: The fumes from the plastic turkey will be responsible for Gulf War Syndrome II

I prefer polypropylene turkey with polystyrene stuffing and a delicate iso-methybutyl-ketone gravy. Mmmmmm, Dee-Lish!

I wonder whether any of the credibility-challenged "opinion makers" listed above bothered to notice that the troops in Iraq were absolutely elated with the President's visit. The man could hardly get a word in edgewise, for all the Whoo-Ahh!s from the troops. But I don't suppose the President was in Iraq to pay his respects to Babes Against Bush, was he?

More Turkey Pictorial Goodness

Reuters reported that Bush telephoned troops in Iraq to wish them a happy Thanksgiving. Apropos of nothing, the article tacked on this anti-war propaganda at the end:

"The Pentagon (news - web sites)'s latest official count, provided on Wednesday, listed 1,230 U.S. military deaths in the Iraq war. At least 109 U.S. troops were killed in Iraq this month alone, about half of whom died in the Falluja offensive."

Happy Thanksgiving, Tim and Andrea!

If that's the best they can do, recycle last year's bogus story about a fake turkey, I think we have nothing to fear.

Happy Thanksgiving!

floyd mcwilliams — But he used a PLASTIC phone!

We have a LOT for which to be thankful—thankful for the bravery of our servicemen & servicewomen.

We can also be thankful that Tim & Andrea have helped so much in the common effort to bring the anti-war, post-humanitarian left to fall revealed as a congeries of plastic turkeys. The war is now—or later & at even greater & more grievous cost.

Don't forget the uncooked plastic "turkey" who visited the Aussie troops again for a photo opportunity. 'anything he can do I can do better'

And thanks for raving lefties, life wouldn't be as funny without them.

William B.: if you're going to be bitter, at least be original - I thought the appeasement crowd at least had creativity going for it - is that gone, too?

Happy Thanksgiving to the troops, here and at home.

Thanks for bounties on wolves and coyotes.

Yeah, but its still crawling with wolves and coyotes here.

Thanks for the KKK.

Well the Democrat party does have its share of mistakes, just ask Democratic Senator Byrd, Klansman extraordinaire, or as Tip O'Neil (former U.S. House Speaker) used to call him, "Sheets."

This is my second favorite holiday, next to Independence Day, to good to be troubled by moon-bats. Ahhh...

And oh yeah...

Thanks for the last and greatest betrayal of the last and greatest of human dreams.

Get over yourself William.

Ya big drama Queen.

Now you've summarised your necrophiliac and coprophiliac obsessions into one single name. You clever little poo!

Billy Boy,
Better run before the Bu$Hitler gestapo track you down and throw you into Gitmo. Even now, as we speak, the DHS orbital mind control laser satalites have you locked in and located.

Thanks for "Kill a Queer for Christ" stickers

Did you know that "90% of all violence acts towards homosexuals are done by other homosexuals"?

Peter Singer judges any number of abhorrent acts as being "moral". Obviously he's using the word in an entirely idiosyncratic manner and, hence, communication fails.

Apparently he's a utilitarian so his pronouncements reveal the arrogance of a mere human being who considers himself capable of judging what will bring the greatest "good" to the greatest number. He thinks he's covered himself by mentioning consent but he has neglected the "informed" part without which there can be no real consent. Who is the person who is so knowledgeable and so wise that He can accurately judge what will result in good and what will not? I believe His name is YHWH.

Which brings me to this: "[Singer] acknowledges that he was 'impressed early on with my grandmother's argument: How could there be a God who would let the Holocaust happen?'" Sounds to me as though Singer's life work has been an exercise in refusal to engage seriously, like an adult should, with this question. His failure has made him inhuman - charming perhaps, but still inhuman.

I've slightly altered Mr. Oooh Let's "Shock" Those Right Wingers By Quoting Scary Skeleton-American William S. Burroughs' contribution to this discussion. Next time, loser, have the balls to use your real name and email address when you quote the tired saws of pathetic drug addicts. If you have no balls, borrow some. You borrow your ideas, after all.

Andrea — I was shooting a short film in the Hotel Chelsea once in the 70's when Burroughs came staggering out of his room and started hitting on our cameraman. The old fart was so wasted the cameraman didn't even realize he was making a pass...

William Tell impersonations, anyone...

What I find ridiculous about the "plastic turkey" allegation is that nobody is claiming that President Bush attempted to carve or serve or eat the allegedly plastic turkey -- which would at least be a mistake. All he did was hold it up for display -- so if it had been plastic, that would have been a perfectly appropriate thing to do.

Actually, what's really stupid about the whole thing is that the claim runs like this: "Dubya came to Iraq carrying a plastic turkey!" I rather doubt he carried anything to Iraq. Except maybe his wallet, some pocket lint, a bit of stray change, maybe the extra key to the Oval Office desk drawer...

It was just a stupid theme, and did nothing but display that all the Bush detractors had to offer were tired old clichés. I have yet to see anything new, interesting, or even useful from any of them.

What the narcissistic fools in the lefty press seem unable to grasp is that Bush didn't travel to Iraq to visit them; he went to visit the troops. I don't think the troops cared one whit about the stinkin' turkey, even if it had been a fake.

Finally got around to reading yesterdays newspaper today. On the front page of the local section was a picture of a soldier carrying a platter holding a REAL, whole turkey to the line in the chow hall. It is a tradition in chow halls to display whole (REAL!) turkeys.

Kelley's right about display turkeys. Virtually everyone here must know that the turkey presentation platter is a NORMAL ARMY MESS TRADITION at Thanksgiving, along with other decorations such as ice sculptures (not a good idea for a field tent in Iraq, I suppose. What if Bush had picked up an ice swan platter...?)

The presentation turkey is a real bird cooked up and garnished to look pretty throughout dinner, because the turkeys on the serving line get carved and cannibalized as the meal progresses. The press themselves are real turkeys who show show that they know NOTHING about the military every time they file a story. Tim has seared and served them up quite nicely in the above list.
