Watching President Obama make the traditional Thanksgiving Day turkey pardon today, I couldn't help thinking ... what if?

What if the wingnuts' wildest fantasies come true, and they ride back into the White House on the wave of right-wing populism now sweeping them? What would this day look like then?

And then I realized, of course, that we already had the answer.

So I made a little mashup fantasy of the view from Planet Wingnuttia. Enjoy. And Happy Thanksgiving.

there will be no pardon. sara likes the death penalty for animals, especially when delivered from a helicopter via scoped, high-powered rifle.


Some stuff you can't make up!

for Southern Pacific RR back in the '70s there was one hoghead (engineer) they called Gobbler. The reason was that he was gay. Very fitting YS.

If the wingnuts came into power, this site would have been closed down long ago.

The turkey would have made more sense speaking into the camera. . .

I saw part of Palin's "interview" with Hannity last night. It occured to me that she sees Obama's tolerance and inclusion of views other than his own as "palling (sp?) around with terrorists," while she will not associate with anyone who differs from her.

I am thankful for this man we elected. He also pals around with Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, foreign leaders, military leaders and ordinary citizens from all walks of life. He even pals around with the homeless. Are they also terrorists? I am so sick of that word.

After the 8 year nightmare that was George Bush, we are truly blessed to have a smart, level-headed man who appreciates diversity. He is not nearly Liberal enough for my taste, but infinitely better than McCain/Palin. She is a really mean-spirited person.

I remember reading a story about Queen Victoria resting in a lawn chair after touring a garden, having either a spot of tea and lady fingers, or a sour mash and a chew, when a goose came running around the corner of the house with a cleaver wielding chef in hot pursuit.

The goose laid its head into Queen Vicky's lap, and she decided it was asking to be spared so she spared its life from that point on.

For the rest of his life he was kept at Crown Expense, which probably cost taxpayer John Bull a lot of crowns.

then stab it in the back while it walked away... only to write about it later telling everyone that the turkey was comin' right at her!

it was coming after her family!

We here in Alaska want to thank you all for taking our turkey. We are safer now that she is running around America. Please dont send her back.


The wickedness of pride has lost the light to understand how little grace is earned an how much given.

Why do i have the feeling that the right wing nutjobs are going to use the footage where Obama is pardoning the turkey with his hand, to simulate a nazy type salute????...

chris-notthetroll's picture

What about that BOW to the lowly animal? Also, he was only wearing one flag lapel pin. What a terrist-loving traitor.

Only dumber, more obnoxious, and more dangerous.

...no different than the angry old man and this abjectly unqualified, mean spirited and vindictive, hate spewing no talent who has never done anything wrong in her life, I feel thankful.

Is such a great idea, she probably would not approve of this press conference that was held in D.C. yesterday at The Press Club by Single Payer Action and PNHP:

Wow.
This is great.
Glenn Beck, O'Reilly, Karl Rove and Sarah Palin.
All on the same day.
Happy Thanksgiving!
