As The Hound was preparing his Thanksgiving feast he happened upon some commie pinkoes contending that this all-American holiday is nothing more than a selfish time to celebrate our affluence and thank ourselves for the success we've gained.
To that The Hound says: Fiddle-faddle!
Thanksgiving is a day to be with family, friends and indulge in that great American pastime: Eating. The Hound has seen some of those ultimate eating contests and he doesn't remember seeing one where people stuffed turkey down their gullets. Thanksgiving is a quiet sort of eating indulgence. And, you get leftovers! How bad is that?
The Hound is sure getting tired of all these high-falutin' folks trying to tear down traditions that have lasted since President Lincoln bestowed the first national holiday on the fourth Thursday of November. It's a fun day and there's even football! How cool is that?
Oh, we can sit and gibber-gabber about how Thanksgiving is in fact a celebration of production, of our hard work, American ingenuity and a salute to the free enterprise system. But who's got time for such polemics when you're gnawing on a drumstick?
Gobble, gobble.
