Despite a rainy, windswept day in New York City, the 80th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade went off as usual, albeit with some disappointing results on some of the new big balloons.
First, a new version of an old favorite was trotted out, called “Chicken Hawk Little,” representing all of the neo-con Bush Administration officials, including the President and Veep themselves, who somehow managed to find better things to do when it was their time to serve.
Starting out on the West Side of Manhattan, this balloon was roundly booed by 98% of the onlookers, and had to be retired before it exploded from being pelted with hot cups of Starbucks coffee.
Another new balloon making its maiden voyage was called “Stay the Course,” bearing the likenesses of both Bush and General John Abizaid. In perhaps the ultimate irony, this balloon veered wildly off-course, completely off Broadway, and plummeted right into the swamps of the New Jersey Meadowlands.
