The Wright Family Thanksgiving Hootenanny of 2009 had about 75 people strong in Whatcom County, Washington. It was wild. Ping pong battles. Mud football. And an epic whiffle ball home run derby. Oh, and there was some turkey and stuff.

My job was to baste one of the birds. Basted that sumbitch like a I was a young Julia Child.

I also was watching CNN and became incredibly annoyed. Therefore, a 3 Chords & the Truth rant was on deck and ready to fire. The lodge was full of Scots during our holiday, so I figured wearing my Glengarry cap was appropriate.



Hide the woman and children, J-Dub has a percussion cap, muzzle-loading pistol!

From Armageddon to Cloverfield to Bernie Madoff, New York City has been destroyed more often than the all-you-can-eat buffet during an Oprah fan convention. The montage of movie scenes above puts into perspective just how many punches New York has taken over the years.

I can't tell you anything about this. I've seen it in a few places, but any text that might have information is always in a language I don't read.

While reporters continue to have more fun than anyone has ever had fact-checking a politician's biography...

Sarah Palin took a break from her, uh ... job (?) and embarked on a book tour to promote her new memoir. She took on some pretty tough interviewers and after over a year after the "gotcha" question was first asked, Palin told us what news sources she reads. We've been on pins and needles waiting for the answer, (would Soldier of Fortune, Wolf Blast Weekly or WWE Magazine make the cut?) but she was smart not to rush an answer. Mrs. Palin took her time, and gave a calculated, gaff-free response. Well played, ma'am. Well played.

During one of the hard-hitting interviews, Gretchen Carlson from Fox's highest rated comedy show Fox and Friends, asked Palin if she would consider challenging President Obama in 2012. And if so, would she consider as her running mate, the most prolific chalk board practitioner of all the self-caricatured commentators, Glenn Beck.

"Of course not, that's crazy," she answered. That's what she answered, right? No? Seriously?!? Oh boy. She actually giggled perkily and alluded it was an interesting idea while managing to use the word "hoot." Didn't dismiss the idea at all.

I've been thinking. We need this to happen. Sweet fancy Moses do we need this presidential ticket.

America needs the comedy.

Here's a different way to search for new sites to explore.
By logo!

AllMyFaves is a home page, "offering an innovative visual exploration of the Internet."

Loads of logos are listed under tons of various topics. It's like logo design as search engine. If you look closely you might spot YBNBY under the blog section. Of course, if you're shopping for Cyber Monday deals you might want to start on the home page.

I thought it was neat enough to pass along.

Here's proof that somewhere deep down inside, we at YesButNoButYes may have some semblance of a heart. Somewhere.
