Open Thread – Happy TanksGiving!
26 11 2009Well, the next episode of Moore Up North is in the can. This week Shannyn Moore talks turkey with Tank Jones! Tank is the guy you have to get through to get to Levi Johnston. He dishes about Levi’s Playgirl photo shoot, and shares his unique perspective on his current situation.
And in the spirit of “TanksGiving,” he gave everyone in the audience a bag of pistachio nuts! Now THAT’s spreading the wealth around. He graciously stayed after the taping to autograph a couple bags.
~The live audience of Moore Up North celebrates their gift of TanksGiving by cheering with their bags of pistachio nuts!
~Tank Jones autographs a bag of pistachios.
The amazing panel this week consisted of gubernatorial candidate Ethan Berkowitz (D), veteran radio icon Steve Heimel, and UAA professor Rick Steiner. The topic? The war on science. They discuss everything from climate change to Pebble mine, and the dangers of politicizing science to foster personal agendas.
L-R Ethan Berkowitz, Shannyn Moore, Steve Heimel, Dr. Rick Steiner
Moore Up North airs Saturday at 4pm on KYES Channel 5, and the show should be up on YouTube soon afterwards.
[For those of you paying attention, yes.. I did make some edits to this post this morning. I was so tired last night that I clicked "Publish" without finishing what I wanted to do! Doh!]

Statement by the President on Native American Heritage Day
“Tomorrow, Americans everywhere will observe our National Day of Thanksgiving. It will be a time of celebration and reflection as we gather with family and friends to count our blessings and remember those less fortunate. But it will also be a time to remember how this holiday began– as a harvest celebration between European settlers and the American Indians who had been living and thriving on the continent for thousands of years.”
“That is why on Friday, I encourage every American to join me in observing Native American Heritage Day. My Administration is committed to strengthening the nation to nation relationship with tribal governments. But it is also important for all of us to understand the rich culture, tradition and history of Native Americans and their status today- and to appreciate the contributions that First Americans have made, and will continue to make to our Nation.”

at the end of the day, i always hope that those that are estranged or separated from their loved ones can find a few good memories when things were not so tough emotionally or physically……and to keep some hope in their hearts that once again, love and compassion will travel into their lives.

Thanks for the sanity!

Chris @4 – EXCELLENT LINK! Thank you! More people need to be aware of the direction Palin and her religious groups are trending. I hope everyone reads the article and passes it along. I have forwarded it to Rachel Maddow, in the event she misses this one.

Regarding Palin’s comment about a Palin/Beck 2012 ticket. Palin was saying that Beck is a hoot and she thinks it would be fun. Here is his response. Story on Huffpo.
BECK: I don’t think things are hoots. I don’t. I don’t think it’s a hoot. I would never use the word hoot, and I respectfully ask that every time my name is brought up she would stop using the word ‘hoot.’ [...]
No, no I’m just saying — Beck-Palin, I’ll consider. But Palin-Beck — can you imagine, can you imagine what an administration with the two of us would be like? What? Come on! She’d be yapping or something, and I’d say, “I’m sorry, why am I hearing your voice? I’m not in the kitchen.”
Oh snap.

The Palin-Graham connection

“Sarah Palin is flying around the country on Billy Graham’s aircraft. Graham’s people have blocked aircraft tracking data so this fact will remain hidden.”

Well, she showed up at the Turkey Trot with a double-wide stroller—now she has two babies as props.

Above is the link of a story on DailyKos. The story is that $P is actually flying around the country on a plane owned by Franklin & Billy Graham’s charity, Samaritan’s Purse. She is flying to locations outside of the towns she is visiting, then getting on the bus and riding into town, according to the article. No one would be surprised to hear this. It’s just par for the course.

1smartcanerican and so many other have said it SO well: I’m thankful to have a ‘place’ to come, where I’m far more likely to find myself laughing rather than screaming, hoping rather than despairing, acting instead of apathetic.
AKM, you truly do rock. Yes, you do.
(Shut up, you DO!!!
)
Also, too… I’m thankful to have found you, ALL of you mudpuppies, because you all – at one time or another – have touched my life, and I’m a better person for it.
Happy Thanksgiving, Mudflats!

ahem……bubbles , I minded my manners and did not “unleash” on Palinistas at the table , verbal or otherwise.
November 26th, 2009 at 6:28 PM
To all you nay sayers out there. YES, Toad is fixing the roof because a bunch of people that Sarah threw under the bus are about to BLOW THE ROOF OFF OF HER GLASS CASTLE.
This story gets better and more bizarre everyday. I almost can’t wait for the next chapter.
Sweat is my sanity, I quit the race. Quit quitting quitter.
Also too, could somebody give Tank a big hug and thank him for taking such good care of Levi. They seem to have a good time together.
I hope Trooper Wooten gets diarrhea of the mouth once he starts talking.

Wow did Beck ever sock it to Palin. He actually seems to have jacked up the bus and taken his teddy under it with him.
