Happy Thanksgiving!

The staff and I at The Institute would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have been faithful readers of BigShotsNow, the blog, and hope that each and every one of you have something to be thankful for on this day of thanksgiving.

For some of you it will be the opportunity to be with friends and family to share in the forced fellowship that close-quarters bring during the holidays, for others they will be thankful for the simple pleasure of being out on parole. For Hans, shown here walking his post as one of our free-range, high school educated, patriotic guard turkeys, he’s thankful that the traditional Thanksgiving meal here at The Institute is Fire-Roasted Chinchilla with a mild but zesty pesto glaze, served with natural organic Rutabaga nuggets. Some of you who might be without a single thing to be thankful for might borrow the fact that you’re not having our traditional Thanksgiving meal.

Everyone has something to be thankful for, even if it’s just one awful, pathetic thing, it’s your awful and pathetic thing, and it’s there to be celebrated. So join us in wishing the world and everyone in it but Jane Fonda and the Clinton’s, ISIS, those of you who are truly bad and horrible people, (we’re looking at you the Middle East), politicians that don’t tell the truth, and a certain select lawyer who shall be nameless for now, a happy, Happy Thanksgiving. Oh yes, and remember to compost those left overs. Enjoy your holiday.
