"Thank you, God, but . . ." Please come CAPTION Thanksgiving at the Porter's.



Grandpa Porter is saying: "Thank you, God, for keeping us in N.A.T.O., congressional oversight, honest leaders who care about American citizens and the health of the planet, the courts' check on presidential power, and career professionals in the diplomatic corps, Justice Department, and throughout the government. . . . But if I may ask for just one thing: . . . please bring back the Republican Party."

And the rest of the Porters respond: "Amen to that!"

Really strong wine. And remember that Super Soaker I wanted in the fifth grade, that I didn't find under the Christmas tree? I still want that thing. It's super. Oh, and could you make sure we have cranberries next year. Apparently that sticky note I left on the frig got ignored again this season. I mean look at that damn salad. There is no dressing on that salad! What am I a rabbit? And if I got to eat pasta and dressingless salad instead of cady yams and mashed potato(e)s for the love of all that is holy, have some damn cranberries. Oh, and do something about the poor and the hungry. If you know you're not too busy on that cranberry thing. You know, your people. Love them! Thoughts and prayers, and cranberries. Amen.

was far from perfect (no turkey &c.) but all the others had something more glaringly wrong.

Often finding s picture to match a predetermined CAPTION is difficult even with Google's lovely selection of images.

And Tiny baby Christmas Jesus helpith thy Lions. Though they might have eaten their share of our Christian brothers. Grandma's got a grand on them. The Bears at home with that piece of * QB. No thanks. Grandma opted out of that Rooseveltian communist socialist agenda called medicare and needs a clear cut victory or it's no heart medication come Christmans eve. Godbless the Detriot Lions with the points at home!
