Happy Thanksgiving America.
(This post is a ‘message.’ For those who think it’s inappropriate in this space, feel free to just move on.)
Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, it feels like the most universal one. Over the last few days I’ve spoken to immigrated Russians, Bulgarians, Dutch, and they all revel in this most American day.
And it’s why, on a day we remain most hopeful, I’d like to remind us all that our brethren in the Gulf Coast area are still suffering beyond comprehension. I know this year we’ve got bad news fatigue what with tsunamis, multiple storm damages, earthquakes, all with untold human disaster, and everyone’s asking for your money while things are (always) hard at home.
But that’s exactly why I’m asking you to pause a minute, and consider, once again, that there are still hundreds of thousands of Americans whose homes have been taken away (yes, that hundreds of thousands). Please think about making (another) donation.
Cartoons are only funny when everyone’s got a life.
