things not to be thankful for this year

awful pink pants that make trashbag sounds everytime you move. or breathe. these retail for $1,350 so at least you get your money's worth.

flannel nightgowns that only my grandmother wears. available in 4 different plaids, one for every other night of the week. sure to put some "spark" back into the bedroom. as in, i'd-douse-them-in-kerosene-and-light-a-match type of spark.

big guys grunting and getting paid big bucks to chase balls. how is that different from guys in everyday life?

now, i like eddie's earlier stuff, but fox decided to show daddy day care for their thanksgiving night movie. bad bad bad choice. i want to see eddie as a tough yet humorous cop or a lost african man in the wilds of new york or even a slightly off donkey (c'mon, he was in love with a dragon!) in a magical fairy tale land. but an ad exec who turns his house into a day care? and up against the biggest fish in the pond? thanks, but no thanks.

"Wow! Brazil is big." —after being shown a map of Brazil by Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Brasilia, Brazil, Nov. 6, 2005

"Listen, I want to thank leaders of the — in the faith — faith-based and community-based community for being here." —Washington, D.C., Sept. 6, 2005

"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda."—Greece, N.Y., May 24, 2005
