Happy Thanksgiving, suckas! I plan to spend the day reenacting exactly the picture above, only with Los Angelenos instead of Indians and Aaron Galbraith instead of a hot church girl with pie. The important thing is that it will be exactly as the pilgrims intended: 65 degrees, twenty fusion dishes, somewhere in what used to Mexico. Frankly, I’m shocked to be still sober at this hour. While I correct that, how about you enjoy this astonishingly long Wheel of Fortune fail? I am thankful that Wheel of Fortune does not determine the leadership structures of our society. I’m also thankful that a bunch of people read my stupid blog every day, even though they should probably be spending time with their families. And all I have to repay you with is this:

As predicted by our mothers, Combat! blog continues to wallow in the lazy California air, gradually losing all interest in politics, culture, physical motion and everything else besides finding the exact right combination of sunbeam and gentle breeze. While we continue to do nothing, haphazardly, how about you read this terrifying speculation on Sarah Palin’s presidential future, courtesy of Frank Rich. It’s probably nothing to worry about. The American people would never vote for an attractive woman who panders to their sense of anti-intellectual solidarity. Especially if she were running against a black guy who went to Harvard. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to make plans to eventually think about going to maybe get a cup of coffee.

Combat! blog is flying to Los Angeles today, in order to observe Thanksgiving as the pilgrims intended. As part of this arrangement, will I have to pass through a machine that shows a high school graduate a picture of my dick? You betcha, although maybe I can negotiate for one of those special pat-downs. (All right—”special pats-down.” Are you happy? I’m not happy.) We’ll be back tomorrow, shortly before disappearing again for Thanksgiving/ever. In the meantime, enjoy this rock jam. It’s delightful.

The Combat! blog server is sick, which is confusing and frightening to those of us who spent way too much time understanding structural linguistics and way too little time understanding Apache servers. Unless the rage beam currently shooting out of my mouth hits a mirror and vaporizes me, we’ll be back on Monday. In the meantime, enjoy this amazing video:
