On this Patriot's Day, we must never forget that the Heroic Struggle Against Our Demonic Turkey Overlords has not abated. Now they are assaulting the basic workings of our government:
Preventing the Boston Transportation Department from the appointed rounds! (and Intelligent Designer knows, we need the revenue).
Have they no decency?

Cooking turkey is actually kind of a dumb idea. Most people don't ever cook turkey. Turkey is like chicken ... it's a domestic bird that is familiar to all Americans ... but it is very difficult to cook in a way that does not ruin it.
Unless you are living in a chicken coop, you have probably heard about the Turkey Crisis in Minnesota and surrounding upper plains/midwestern states.
Are you done with your Thanksgiving leftovers yet? You might think so, but not quite. We have one more helping of Turkey for you.
Are the residents of Massachusetts aware that the rest of us are blithely going about our daily lives today with nary a thought directed towards patriotism nor the Battles of Lexington and Concord this Patriots' Day? (I know that this is what you are supposed to be celebrating because I just looked it up on Wikipedia, which also informed me I was to put the apostrophe after the s.)
Has this been brought to the attention of the Turkey overlords? Should you have been allowed to sneak an extra three day weekend in? Does this make you more patriotic than the rest of us?
This kind of opression calls for absolute barbarism!
EAT THE ENEMY!
(they're yummy)
Thank you! I love these stories of urban free-range poultry.
It could be worse, though--yesterday one of my (domestic) toms attempted to mate with me. His new name is Captain Kirk. I gotta admit, he's got pretty blue eyes...
We found one wandering our neighborhood in Providence when walking the dog, who got this expression that clearly showed he'd never wanted anything more in his doggy life.
