It is said that the first casualty in war is truth.  Let us say in regard to the War on Thanksgiving that truth has been grievously wounded and held prisoner (enemy combatant?), but can be rescued and succored if we are willing to “fight the power”.

In that spirit, let us start by stating clearly and in plain fact what Thanksgiving Day and its tradition are in the United States.

[Disclaimer: While this lengthy item may appear to be a weighty disquisition, it is actually a rant; really, there are nasty insulting phrases and caustic bile and everything]

With the furor over one woman’s Grinch act in California (to mix holiday-under-siege metaphors), one imagines many sets of eyes were set rolling.  Ever since neotribalists in the universities of North America embraced the idea of lumping Sioux and Cherokee and Seneca into an artificially homogenized “Native American” identity, Thanksgiving has been a particular target of their latter-day mythmaking.

As of Saturday, November 22, 2008, we are experiencing long load times.  Our hosting service reports that they are working on the problem.
