More Quick Takes (I'm taking most of them from other bloggers)

Holy Card credit/quote credit:

A Bear and a Badger walked into a bar

and axed, "where all the white women at?"

On the role of women in the church:

“Women ought to stay at home; the way they were created indicates this, for they have broad hips and a wide fundament to sit upon.” - Martin Luther, Table Talk, 55

BTW - When Trump goes to Washington, Melania is staying home in NY at the Tower.  He has great respect for women.

Another Quick Take

I saw it on TV.  Tavis had Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz on last night with the real story about Thanksgiving and what we did to the Native Americans and Thanksgiving as we know it with Indians and Colonists was made up in the early 20th century by advertising executives and the real Thanksgiving pretty much began during - or was it after - the Civil War and had nothing to do with Indians and, and, we stole lands from the Indians and we committed genocide and we need to read her book:  All the Real Indians Died

I'm serious - even though I ran that all together.  My dad always claimed I had Indian blood but my mother said he was a lying S.O.B. just like his mother who told him that.  She wanted to be Jewish, and so I went with that one.  Regardless, I'm on the side of Native Americans.  Currently there is great concern over the pipeline issue in South Dakota with the Dakota Access Pipeline Protests.

Ms. Dunbar-Ortiz had some things to say about the issue, and how any support from Trump is probably a lost cause.  She thinks he is a disaster for Native American rights, recalling his lawsuit from the '90's blaming Native Americans for his financial problems:

Donald J. Trump, who owns three casinos in Atlantic City, has sued the Federal Government, maintaining that allowing Indian tribes to open casinos discriminates against him. - Full story here.

 So anyway...

Thanksgiving is cancelled.

Sarah Palin for Interior secretary?

We are all doomed.
