Politics and Turkey -- a deadly combination

Hugh Hewitt devoted part of his show today prepping listeners with lefties in the family on how to deal with them at Thanksgiving. James Lileks acted the role of the stoner brother-in-law quite well, although he lacked the rage and yelling that has been my experience.

If you really want to keep Thanksgiving dinner civil, I recommend putting a sign on the front door to the effect that anybody talking politics will have to sit at the card table with the leg that won't lock in place. If you don't have one, make them sit in the basement with a paper plate on their lap.
