Oh, Just the Turkey Gets a Presidential Pardon?

Well, at least the Obama administration hasn't proposed banning football on Thanksgiving.

Because that appears to be the only thing about the holiday that the administration doesn't want to destroy.

First they came for the gravy.

And then they decided that drunken revisiting of childhood grudges wasn't enough to spoil the day:

Loathe peaceful holidays? Detest the spirit of agreeableness and good will that tends to pervade during this time of year? Well, if you're longing for it to be 'tis the season of debates, irritations, and shouting matches, you're in luck: The Obama administration thinks the holidays are the perfect time to gather round and discuss … Obamacare.

Great. President Obama pardoned the White House turkey chosen to provide dinner for them. But he sicks young Obamabots on their families. We don't get a break from politics.

Fine. Let them do it. But see if they are so filled with the spirit of debate if parents can take their insufferable whelp off their insurance before age 27.

I'm going to stuff myself. As the youngest at my family gathering, they can at least be thankful I won't be participating in agitprop when we can all focus our rage on the Lions if they don't dispatch Green Bay tomorrow.

UPDATE: It's hard enough already, isn't it? Tip to Mad Minerva.
