My return is pretty simply. One closely held and another llc. Married file jointly. Sure I itemize but I pay a fair chunk every year. I want that going to healthcare, combating white collar criminals, cinsumer protection, ecological concerns and education. You want my money going to bomb poor people in other countries.
Happy Thanksgiving

I have read your posts welfare boy. Besides being a pathological liar you are just full of shit. Just admit it, you are a fake. You like to talk to make yourself feel better about helping the downtrodden, but you would never actually do anything to help them. A true modern day liberal. All talk, no action.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, JPP!!
Oh crap. What did the preface "for shits and giggles" mean to you .,,exactly. Are you really this stupid? Do I really have to abandon basic conversational English and convention for fear of misleading you? Are you that dumb? I'm sorry. I can't continue wading through the murky distance between our intelligence quotients. Too laborious.
You are 20 points dumb and 50 points malevolent, both south of me.
Happy thanksgiving though!

Tell me, you useless, arugula-eating infidel, does fuzzy logic tickle?
From Gods lips to your ears! But you know what? If we don't trust each other, my system is still better. Thanks for giving charity. Show me the checks. Using taxes to redistribute does not require as much blind faith.
I win again. Happy thanksgiving!

You win? Only in your twisted, deluded mind. Anything to keep you from having to realize reality right? That you are full of shit. You never do anything to help anyone. Just talk out your ass. You frappuccino-sipping fraud, if ignorance is bliss, you must be one happy liberal.
Im sensing you need to brag. By all means proceed.
A Thanksgiving tail of innovation:
Decades ago I was preparing a Thanksgiving turkey in one of those familiar Graniteware oval pans. I had a turkey baster. Problem is, each time the oven door is opened to lift the lid on the pan for basting, the heat escapes the oven, both cooling the oven, and extending the cooking time.
It occurred to me:
- if basting the turkey makes the turkey taste better, then wouldn't
- basting the turkey twice as often make the turkey taste twice as good?
Reductio ad absurdum:
For optimal taste, baste the turkey constantly.
BUT !!
That would mean either climbing into an oven that's hundreds of degrees for several hours, or leaving the door open, which would extend the cooking time to days or weeks.
Then the lightbulb went on.
Instead of a pan that's wide but shallow, why not a caldron that's more narrow, but deep?
Add enough water to cover the bird, but 3 or 4 inches from the rim of the cauldron (otherwise it'll spill).
It approximates basting the bird constantly.
And how could the bird end up more moist on the banquet table than being cooked under water?
I'm on a low fat diet. So I skin the bird first, using the skin only to grease the bottom of the cauldron so the bird doesn't stick.
Add parsnips, carrots, brussels sprouts, potatoes, garlic, pepper, etc. to taste, and over-cook it until the meat is falling off the bone.
The problem is, it doesn't make a very impressive, traditional banquet table presentation.
But if tender victuals is your aim, this is one way to get there.
The cauldron would take up too much room in the refrigerator. But in this part of Northern New York State, it's cold enough in the garage to keep the bird in the cauldron, until the left-overs are gone.
AND !!
The water used for boiling turns to gelatin, and makes delicious rice, or pasta. Just add your favorite salad dressing before serving (I usually use zesty Italian) & you're good to go.
Happy Thanksgiving eve.

You are a case study of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Discuss it over your Thanksgiving meal with your other liberal friends feeding your faces while the poor starve. Patting yourselves on the back the whole while.
That study is old hat. I posted about it back when it was first published. It has been misused as easy trolling material ever since.
Happy thanksgiving!

Yes, you have been around a long time asshole. The original study subject for the paper.
