Ms. McCaw is a vegetarian who believes that everyone should be a vegetarian. The editorial was written ...
The Thanksgiving of Our Dreams: Open Your Eyes, It's Right Here
By James Grady - Politics DailyHey, 2010: We've made it this far, and that deserves a lot of thanksgiving. Politics is part of how we got here. Part of the good. Part of the bad. Part of our American dream. Part of politics we can be thankful for now is the SHUT UP factor. Listen to your lives. Do you hear it? Maybe not the sounds of silence, because the shouting never stops in modern America. But now the volume of political shouting is dialed-down because our latest electoral brawl is over -- except for random re-counts, court challenges, simple twists of fate and Congress's "lame duck" soup.

There's No Shortage of People Who Need Help This Thanksgiving
By Joann M. Weiner - Politics DailyAs Americans prepare to sit down for their Thanksgiving meal, plenty of them will wonder what they have to be thankful for. America is one of the richest countries in the world, and that's something to take pride in. But could any American be anything but ashamed that one out of seven Americans lives in poverty, or 44 million citizens are hungry at one time or another every year, or that the number of food stamp users rose to 41.8 million in July, marking the 20th straight month of record participation? One out of four unemployed workers is now officially classified as "long-term ...

Senators' Thanksgiving Chores: McCain: 'I'm Frying Two Turkeys!'
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailySenators may have assistants in Washington to do their correspondence and driving, but once they get home, many are more likely to be taking orders than giving them, especially when Thanksgiving dinner needs to get on the table. From three hours of dusting to whipping up a batch of sauerkraut, here are the surprising answers the Capitolist got when we asked senators, "Are you cooking for Thanksgiving this year?" Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.): Yes! I fry turkeys. I fry two turkeys. One you can eat then and one you can eat later. I still haven't burned the porch off. We have a place up in northern ...

From Gawker:This adorable hand-turkey is supposedly from future White House Chief of Staff/fingerless freak Rahm Emanuel. Happy Holidays!
