THANKSGIVING

Talking Turkey

Americans invented the atom bomb and overthrew Mossadegh, then they recorded Elvis and went to the Moon

Every year on Thanksgiving Day I give thanks that Iran’s problems with the West are gravy compared to what the Indian chief Massasoit faced when English settlers landed at Plymouth Rock in1620.
