Whew! FLOTUS Approves Thanksgiving Pie

By Doug Powers  •  November 24, 2010 10:34 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

For those of you who were waiting for the official go-ahead, I’ve got some very good news:

null

What a relief! No tree bark and lawn clippings for dessert this year! I haven’t felt this liberated since Tipper Gore gave a very reluctant nod to **playing Alice Cooper albums (**on Halloween only).

Should we now await approval to consume deep fried turkey and beer? I plan to just do it and beg for forgiveness later.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

    I make a two pecan pies for my Hawaiian inlaws who love it.

    I make a mincemeat pie for myself. Takes me a week to kill it all, but I’m the only one that will eat it. They all shake their heads at me when I eat mincemeat, but they all eat raw fish. I don’t get it.

    My family has been cooking their fish for, I dunno, 12 to 14 thousand years, according to the History Channel.

    Everyone have a nice Thanksgiving. We’re having our dinner at the beach.

    Hey, Ms. Bitterman! I’ve OK’d the passage of the FairTax. Have your testically-challenged life partner get right on that.

    Oh, most holy and sacred FLOTUS, thank you for humbly granting us this generous dispensation. After Thanksgiving, I will duly fast to return to your recommended body mass index, and next spring, I’ll be sure to track the growth of your rutabagas and other delicious garden vegetables with those of my own. I promise.

    Happy Thanksgiving to all.

    If this “approval” does not remind us of how badly the liberals want to control every facet of our lives – nothing will. This is the very reason I do NOT use CFL’s.

    Racist!! I’m actually in a conundrum. I have made it a point to do the exact opposite of what the royal fam-damly says. Now what?

    I’ve become quite the connoisseur of the bird fried in peanut oil – with a top secret mixture of spices. (I could tell you – but I’d have to kill you)

    This year one bird won’t do it so we have to put one in the oven as well. Finally the difinitive side by side analysis! My money is on the fryer.

    Happy T-Day all! Among all else thank God the collective is spiraling in!

    I really, really didn’t care for BDS; MDS doesn’t look all that much better. Yes, there’s plenty to criticize, but this is really petty. Arguably Fox News, whom I usually like, unfairly headlined what happened, and running with it is juvenile. Sorry, Doug, I normally greatly enjoy your contributions to this blog.

    Have a great Thanksgiving, Doug and family. Eat gobs and don’t feel guilty about it.

    How good of her-so kind and patient with we mere supplicants.

    And when I fill that plate with turkey, mashed potatoes, rutabagas, bacon cooked green beans, at least one tamale-maybe two, rolls smothered in REAL butter and such-gravy, lots of gravy, I will ask for the salt shaker thank you. I shall also have a nice helping of cancer causing cranberry relish, apple pie made with REAL lard and apples from alar sprayed trees thank you.

    To thank and relieve the cooks the men of the family (not me-too old ;) ) will do the dishes-except the sterling- and then retire to the ozone killing, global warming wide screen to watch football and have pies of every race creed, religion and flavor. Hopefully there will be a tamale or two left-they go fast.

    For you see Dear FLOTUS this is America where too much is not enough.

    Have a great Thanksgiving Doug and may the Farce Be With You.

    Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes…gravy on all of that. Salads…cranberry and my special lime conconction. Wild rice, sweet potatoes, baked corn, banana bread, assorted relishes (the kids like to put the black olives on their fingers…doesn’t everyone?). Apple cider, wine, soft drinks. Pumpkin pie, pecan pie, french silk pie.

    We have 32 people coming together today. What a blessing to have so many family members living that close so we can gather today!! Only a few are missing. One family lives in Denver, one person is in Iraq, one is in rehab (meth), one is recovering from a serious car accident.

    We are just your normal, average American family thanking God that we live in this amazing, FREE country where NO ONE can tell us WHAT to eat or WHEN to eat it!!

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! My true Patriot friends!

    Since my family gathering is a small one (just four of us), I’m bringing 1/2 a pumpkin pie and 1/2 a cherry pie (the local supermarkets sell 1/2 pies as well as whole ones).

    Why do I suspect that FLOTUS and her husband are giving thanks for very different things from the rest of the country?

    Well! I shall truly enjoy my Thanksgiving dinner; a turkey basted with a pound of bacon and a pound of butter, mashed potatoes the French way with one pound of potatoes to a pound of butter, chocolate, pecan, mincemeat and pumpkin pies, champagne, other wine and all enjoyed under the glow of incandescent bulbs. Happy Turkey Day, everyone.

    It is typical of Her Majesty Obama to express what is okay for the peasants to consume on the holidays. I’m dying to learn if we’ll be limited to figgy-pudding for Christmas, of if she’ll allow plums too.

    But seriously, I wish that this smug woman would keep her putrid opinions about what she finds acceptable and unacceptable to herself.
