What does it say about me and the state of our country that I was invited to meet President Bush on Monday, and I absolutely decline. And, maybe that is all I should say. A silent protest….to the man himself and all he does.

Bush is going to ….”talk about what we as a nation can be thankful for during Thanksgiving,” the Richmond Times-Dispatch quotes White House Spokesman Blair Jones as saying.

This should be interesting…..

At least, I should mention, that I’m glad Bush got it right. Berkeley Plantation was the site of the first Thanksgiving. Unlike what my daughter’s kindergarten teacher and likely the majority of the kindergarten teachers in America teach these days. …Why is it that the first Thanksgiving was less than 30 miles from here, and our children are still taught that the Pilgrims invented Thanksgiving?
