Margaret and Helen: Going Nuts

[demmiblue]

Hi Margaret. Thanksgiving went better than expected. Please tell your nephew that I want another visit soon. It was so good to have him with us this year. He and Harold had a good time talking about the game, and his friend was such a help in the kitchen. I am so sorry to hear that your sister-in-law’s turkey was not as tender and moist as mine. Did she try the brine this year like I suggested? And the butter and bacon in the dressing instead of nuts? Butter and bacon. Remember that. You can make almost anything taste better with one or the other. Honestly, Margaret, I have never understood her insistence on cornbread stuffing with nuts in it. That combination would suck the moisture out of a Kleenex. I just don’t know about you Yankees sometimes. Stubborn as the day is long. Nuts in your dressing. I never…

Speaking of nuts, that dumb ass son-in-law of mine really did give me Sarah Palin’s book to review just like he said he would. The very idea that somehow a gift to me actually put money in her pocket… well I just don’t know how I feel about that. The only way I can stomach it at all is knowing that maybe my reviewing it here might prevent a few of our visitors from deciding to buy it to read themselves.

I’ll start reading it this week after I get my holiday cards out. Surely it couldn’t be as bad as that Coulter crap I read a few months ago. After all, it has all the makings of a fine novel: a rags to riches story filled with heartwarming musings about drilling for oil, raising your children’s children, and getting even with the world. I even hear the main character is really a vampire. A page turner for sure…

Tell Howard not to bother buying a copy for himself. I’ll send him this one when I am done. Maybe your sister-in-law could use it to stuff her turkey at Christmas! I mean it. Really.

3. Incredible blog

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Brilliant metaphor - Palin as vampire. She sucks the lifeblood out of everything, including the Republican party.

5. YW... but I learned about the blog here, so I can't take credit!

:hi:

4. She read Coulter's last book

but I'm not sure she can wade through 400 pages of self aggrandizement and projection in this one.

I look forward to the attempt, though.

6. Here's the first line.

"Margaret. Chapter One of Going Rogue by Sarah Palin ends on page 62. That’s about 61 pages after it should have ended."

I put a link to Margaret And Helen on my own blog after a DUer turned me onto them awhile ago; I LOVE them. I wish they were my Aunts..
