Giving Thanks — Palin Style
November 26th, 2008 | by Steve O |I personally have much to be thankful for tomorrow. Not that I need a specific day to be thankful it’s nice to have a day that brings all people from all backgrounds and religions (except the Jehovah’s Witness) on to one single page for just one day.
Many of us will give thanks for life, liberty and a successful harvesting season that will give us a fighting chance in Hell of making it through the upcoming winter, although, some people–not so much.
But there are a few people out there that just want to thank Sarah Palin on this Thanksgiving weekend through this teevee ad that will run all weekend;
Hear, hear, I too would like to add Sarah Palin to my list of things to be thankful for this year. I would also like to thank Sarah for giving us such a bountiful harvest of STUPID this political season;
Thank you Sarah, thank you, thank you and THANK YOU!!!! You keep this up and I think I will actually contribute to your presidential run in 2012. Matter of fact I WANT you to run, Matt Damon–not so much;
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Every time I see that Matt Damon thing I just want to punch him in the face. Okay… Sarah Palin is unknown… We get that Matt. Who are you again?
Your credentials for a political know it all are:
An Oscar for writing a screenplay
The Bourne Series
Any movie where a Boston accent is needed.
Fucking Sarah Silverman.

I’m thankful for George Bush and Sarah Palin. With out them, it may have been another 100 years before some one like Barak Obama would be our President. Chris Rock said it best: “George Bush fucked it up so bad, that he made it possible for a black man to become president.”

I’m thankful to be back home. I spent the last three days in a hospital wondering if my kidneys were going to shut down. Know what? Fuck politics, Sarah Palin, Matt Damon, Barack Obama and all of it. I’m just grateful to be alive.

So much for passing a high ball of whiskey to keep the peace.
What happened?

Out shopping for this and that, reached for a bit of that on a lower shelf, raised up, felt light-headed and damn-near passed out. It passed after a bit but scared the bejeezus out of me so I went to the emergency room. Well…
Long story short, between my exercizing (I’ve been jogging (upwards of seven to eight miles every couple of days), loosing weight (over the last several months I’ve gone from 230 to 210 fully clothed on a doctor’s scale), and my high blood pressure medicine, my blood-pressure had gone low and, even though I have always been careful to rehydrate after running, a component of the bp medicine caused me to need more water than I realized and I had gotten dangerously dehydrated. Thus, my kidneys, thinking they were no longer needed, were seriously considering shutting down for the duration.
Anyway, the treatment was to push saline intravenously and water the old-fashioned, down the throat way, remove the blood-pressure medication, keep a watch on the b-p, measure the output for three days, take blood, etc.
Anyway, I’ve been declared fit again. I’m on a low sodium diet. I’m off the b-p meds. I’m to keep checking my blood-pressure to make sure it doesn’t creep back up and drink water and Gator Ade until I float.
It was a close thing though. One number they talked about was at 2.7 when I went in to the ER. At 3.0, they say, the kidneys have turned out the lights, locked the doors and left the premises for good. It’s pretty much all gobledy-gook to me but I’ll take their word for it.

It’s the jogging that’ll kill you Craig. Take my advice, the best exercises are the 12 ounce curls used in beer consumption. Look at the benefits. You get exercise and it is no problem to do at least 20 minutes a day. You get plenty of fluids and you get high.
You may not get a lot of weight loss but when that thought gets you down you can easily fix it by having another beer.

Hopefully I don’t have to choose between shutting down my kidneys and scleroting my liver!

Well you know what they say, you can’t have your liver and eat it too. Besides, look how oversized God made livers. They take up way too much room in the chest cavity. Not enough room for stomach expansion. Beer is a wonderful liver size reducer in addition to it’s many other fine qualities.

Is scleroting a word? As in, causing sclerosis?

Sorry, I may have strayed a bit off topic here.
Oh well, wish you well with your kidney issue.

Who the hell knows. I am well into my Wednesday exercise routine and don’t have as good a grasp on the meaning of obscure words (or nonwords as the case may be) like scleroting.

Wow Craig!!! I’m definitely thankful you are OK. Glad to hear it.
You’re right, lets just give thanks that we are all still vertical!

Steve,
My sentiments exactly!

Steve O. That’s the ticket! ‘Tis the season to be so thankful that we’re able to bicker about politics — that we’re physically alive and healthy in body and mind and that we live in a country where we’re free to bicker about politics without being disappeared or reeducated — that we take time to celebrate the fact that we like and care about one another in spite of our differences.
