Got Republican relatives coming for Thanksgiving?

We all know that a discussion at the Thanksgiving table can too easily turn into a war between red family members and blue family members. So while we recommend avoiding violence, we understand if you feel the need to rip into your drunk republican uncle from Texas.

That’s why today’s Talking Point is – three ways to defend yourself against your republican relatives.

Number 1:
If they try to force you to sit next to your evangelizing born-again nephew, ask if he could be reseated at the Unborn Children’s Table.

Number 2:
Remind them that the first Thanksgiving convened in the gay marriage capital of the United States, the bluest of all blue states – Massachusetts.

and Number 3:
Remind them that Bush was re-elected with the narrowest margin of any wartime President in US history. Tell them you look forward to gloating over their losses after the 2006 midterm elections.

The best revenge of course, is to volunteer to drive them to the airport, and make sure the radio is stuck on Air America the whole way there.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!!
