Thursday Funnies

You know that just before that first Thanksgiving dinner there was one wise, old Native American woman saying, “Don’t feed them. If you feed them, they’ll never leave.”–Dylan Brody

Thanksgiving, when the Indians said, “Well, this has been fun, but we know you have a long voyage back to England.”–Jay Leno

While visiting his niece on Thanksgiving Day, an elderly man was shocked when the young college girl apparently was having a stroke. Her uncle drove wildly to get her to the emergency room.

After what seemed like a very long wait, the E.R. doctor appeared, wearing his scrubs and a long face.

Sadly, he said, “I’m afraid that your niece’s brain is dead, but her
heart is still beating.”

“Oh, dear,” cried the elderly man, his hands clasped against his cheeks with shock. “We’ve never had a Democrat in the family before!”

And here’s one that you’ve probably received in an email forward before:

I recently asked my friend’s little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said that she wanted to be President of the United States. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there. So I asked her, “If you were President, what would be the first thing you would do?” She replied, “I’d give food and houses to all of the homeless people.”

Her parents proudly beamed. “Wow…what a worthy goal,” I
told her. “But you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that.
Tell you what – you can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds,
and sweep my driveway, and I’ll pay you $50. Then I’ll take you over to the
grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50
to use toward food and a new house. How about doing something wonderful like that?”

She thought that over for a few seconds. Then she looked at me
and asked, “Why doesn’t the homeless guy come over, do
the work and you can just pay him the $50?”

I said, “Welcome to the Republican Party.”

Her parents are still not speaking to me.

Happy Thanksgiving!

    The Brutally Honest blog compared and contrasted this year’s pardoning of turkeys by Obama with Bush’s last year’s pardoning.

    He has the videos.

    OBAMA:

    Talk about the spared turkey as “lucky.” Note that your family, in a photo op, will deliver “unlucky” turkeys to a food bank.
    Make a mocking, “funny” Sign of the Cross over the pardoned bird—an obvious disregard for the importance of this sacred symbol for Catholics and people of faith.
    Disregard your daughters, standing beside you in bored complacency. Instead, focus your attention on the cameras.
    Use the opportunity to obliquely criticize the United States Congress. Say things like “Some of you know that recently I’ve been taking a series of executive actions that don’t require congressional approval. Well, here’s another one.”
    Use the opportunity to criticize the media. Say things like “They received the most important part of media training, which involves learning to gobble without saying anything.”
    Never mention God, or thanks, or grace, or the American people. Never mention anything noble. Keep the attention on yourself.

    BUSH:

    Thank the men and women in uniform and talk about how proud you are of them.
    Thank the armies of compassion—volunteers who feed the hungry and shelter the poor, teachers and nurses and pastors and firefighters, and others who serve their neighbors and better their communities.
    Thank your wonderful and supportive family, and talk about the blessing they have been in your life.
    Thank your wife for her love.
    Thank your two daughters, “Thanksgiving blessings” some 27 years ago.
    Express your thanks that your mother is doing well.
    Express your thanks for a new son-in-law at the dinner table this year.
    Thank the American people for the tremendous privilege of serving as President.
    Wish all Americans a Happy Thanksgiving, and ask God to bless them.

    Yes, the contrast is great.
