Five Conversation Starters to Ruin Thanksgiving
Posted on 23 November 2009
You have your entire family around the dinner table, settling in for the All American activity of chowing down and gorging when all of the sudden your mother-in-law or crazy brother pipes in with a conversational remark that sets off a firestorm that makes THIS Thanksgiving the one everyone calls the Thanksgiving of Pain. Here are a few of the remarks you can expect this year.
“I don’t know why everyone is so down on that Sarah Palin, I think she has a fine head on her shoulders.”
“As God as my witness, if we get a public health care option in this country, I’m moving to Canada!”
“I refuse to eat this turkey because it was raised to be killed and eaten.”
“Sparkly vampires are just easier for Buffy to hit.”
“I think the fact that we are seeing gays wanting divorces just proves they shouldn’t have been married in the first place.”
Well there you go. Now you can start to prepare your rebuttals and counter arguments.

After watching a few episodes of The Rockford Files this weekend, I really appreciated the writing and modern sensibility we got from Veronica Mars. Can we please get Veronica Mars F.B.I.?
