Giving Thanks for Harvey Milk

Harvey Milk was assassinated 30 years ago today in his SF City Hall office, as was Mayor George Moscone, by fellow supervisor Dan White. Five years ago today I posted THIS item and am gratified that in 2008 many more people are learning Milk's story.

Everyone Thankful for Sarah Palin This Year

Conservative group Our Country Deserves Better released an amusingly-timed turkey day video about how thankful they are for Sarah Palin just days after Palin's now well-publicized pardon/slaughter showcase video of what Benjamin Franklin wanted as our national bird.

In the video, the group thanks Palin for her "passionate, hopeful, and articulate advocacy of common sense conservative values."

No doubt most Democrats are thanking her for exactly the same things.

What were those ingredients again for the moose chili?
