So, what's for dinner tomorrow?

Going with the traditional turkey? Or something else?

I'm making a capon, stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, gravy, and asparagus, and there will be a chocolate cake.

Didn't know this group existed

I personally am a low carber... just was interested in doing an informal survey of what types of things you are doing to lose weight.

Chris Christie won't take the bait, won't answer questions about Twinkies

NEWARK, N.J. — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he wasn’t about to take the bait: a question dealing with that quintessential junk food, Twinkies.

So when asked Friday at a news conference about Twinkies-maker Hostess shutting down, the target of many a fat joke begged off.

The governor quipped: "I know it! You people are the worst! This is a setup! I am not answering questions on Twinkies, no, no, no, no, no, no. It’s bad that I even said the word ’Twinkie’ from behind this microphone."

Christie has tried for years to lose weight and often jokes about his caloric struggles. He once likened his weight loss efforts to "throwing a couple deck chairs off of the Titanic."

But Friday he said he wouldn’t provide more fodder to comedians.

"You know," he said, "I’m on ’Saturday Night Live’ enough."

Interest in UFOs apparently declining

...

According to Wood, his organization’s open UFO investigations have dropped 96% over the past 25 years. This despite the fact that millions of people walk around every day with point-and-shoot cameras built into the phones they carry in their pockets and purses. If a flying saucer from Zeta Reticuli were to zoom past the White House, it’s a good bet there would be crystal clear, 1080p video posted to YouTube within minutes. And it’s an even better bet that at least one of the comments will simply read, “Meh.”

Meanwhile while most of us weren't paying attention, there is some nasty stuff going on in Syria

Some amazing photos in The Atlantic. I really don't understand entirely what is going on there, I have to admit, but the devastation is unbelievable. I've posted just a few below, but there are lots of pics in the article below.
