Only in America, huh?


This reminds me of the old joke that Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra used to use in one of their monologues, about how they drove up to see the Grand Canyon and it was closed. And Kids - please don't ask Oldest Living Blogger who those guys were. They were only a couple of the greatest entertainers of my generation, and if you don't know their stories, then Google them, please.

All of this leads someplace, and the someplace is Thanksgiving, which in Canada here comes on Monday, October 14th.  And before you ask "Why isn't it on November 28th, like ours?"
let me hasten to explain: "We're watching you guys from the safety of the Great White North, and believe me when I say 'We've got more to be thankful for so we start sooner'." And what do I mean by 'more to be thankful for'? Well, for starters, we don't have nearly as many crazy politicians, and that right there is a hell of a lot to be thankful for, especially the way it's been going lately. So why don't you say 'Screw This!' and move to Canada? We don't shut the country down for political fights. We just throw shit in all directions, call each other nasty names, and then we kiss and make up and get on with our lives. You could too, if only you were smarter.... there's a knack to this, and obviously you haven't got it yet.
