Have a great Thanksgiving with your family John. Hopefully some well earned respite from the crazy week to week events that leave us exasperated and exhausted at times.

Like sitting in hospital waiting rooms or hearing the latest nonsense out of D.C.

It's good to disconnect for a few days to get a break from it all.

Thank you. Yeah, Thanksgiving break is always welcome around these parts.

John - nice piece, a little too much on the self promotion when giving thanks, but not too much (are you listening Jimmy Fallin). I will count myself in the insulted jackasses, given your bent on always insulting your customers, that could have been overlooked during the thanks piece. All-in-all a very thorough Thanksgiving piece. Very nice, thank you.

One suggestion, okay two:

1) Try including a few new friends into your circle next year and see how it goes. Enjoy your Turkey Day!

2) Try to reconsider your J6 position. Try the patriot viewpoint honestly and see if there is room for a new outcome. I know this will be tough for you given your high horse outlook. I did and it made a lot more sense than the liberal Hollywood fantasy show to me. BR

Lol. Bob, Bob, Bob (if that's even your real name)... You're not my 'customer,' and the fact that you pay to access content on a separate website I write for (where my writing is free to readers) doesn't give you open license to regularly lie about me, slander me, insult me, and even falsely attribute criminal activity to me (like accusing me of attempted murder, which you did last week) without me extending the far less hostile (but entirely appropriate) rebuke that you conduct yourself like a jackass, or a bot, or a conspiracy-nut, or a hopeless partisan, or just good old fashioned idiot... to which you hilariously pearl-clutch.

Your lack of self-awareness is breathtaking.

Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving though!

John - a little thin skinned taking iy all personal. Must be the source of insults, if you can't stand the heat, exit the kitchen. Stick to interviews. BR

Bob, you literally accused me of attempted murderer. ATTEMPTED MURDER. You then rolling up in a ball and claiming victimhood over me merely calling you a jackass in return, and you having the gall to preach to me about not being able to stand the heat because of it, is a perfect example of your breathtaking unself-awareness.

If you don't want to be called a jackass, or otherwise have your glaring character flaws pointed to you, don't say vile, dishonest, slanderous, and infinitely worse things to people. I've shown FAR more restraint and respect for you than you have for me, but any kind of retort on my part reliably causes you to cry foul. Somehow the irony of that is completely lost on you.

My advice: work on yourself, and ask for help (you clearly need it).
