Turkey Day Turn Down

They just don't get it! You don't bother people on Thanksgiving, dude! Why do you think the Supreme Court all agreed unanimously not to let Al Gore and the Dream Team have a hearing on the Dade County issue? Turkey man! Probably the Chief Justice was just about to enjoy the bird when a call came in. You just don't do that! 

It is bad enough they inconvenienced old folks with arthritis to count ballots, but now when everyone is supposed to be taking a break from the chads and dimples and pimples, they drop off a car load of papers expecting the Supreme Court to take the only day off they have and rush back to the courtroom and help Al?

Can you see it? Most of these Supreme Court judges have children and grandchildren, but for Al Gore, the "family man", they should drop their families on Thanksgiving and pass another self-serving order. Is it any wonder they turned him down again? I can hear the grandchild saying, "Please, Grandpa, don't leave, we haven't had turkey yet." Even liberals have a limit!
