Ah, Thanksgiving week means the holiday season is upon us once more.  Kicked it off on Friday with our TG office luncheon.

We had Turkey of course.

And a ham…

…fruit salad and all the traditional side dishes.

We celebrated the November birthdays…

I presented an award…

…and then we chowed down!

On Thursday we will be having our annual Thanksgiving feast and dart tourney at Dolce Vita.  If you expats are looking for a place to celebrate the holiday, come on out an join us in Itaewon.

Saturday Night Live skewers the President’s recent visit to China.  See it here, it is funny as hell.

More worrisome has got to be being compared unfavorably to Sarah Palin by the Queen of Liberals, Maureen Dowd.  An excerpt:

Barack Obama, who once had his own electric book tour testing the waters for a campaign, could learn a thing or three from Palin. On Friday, for the first time, his Gallup poll approval rating dropped below 50 percent, and he’s losing the independents who helped get him elected.

Like Reagan, Obama is a detached loner with a strong, savvy wife. But unlike Reagan, he doesn’t have the acting skills to project concern about what’s happening to people.

Obama showed a flair for the theatrical during his campaign, and a talent for narrative in his memoir, but he has yet to translate those skills to governing.

If we could see a Reduced Shakespeare summary of Obama’s presidency so far, it would read:

Dither, dither, speech. Foreign trip, bow, reassure. Seminar, summit. Shoot a jump shot with the guys, throw out the first pitch in mom jeans. Compromise, concede, close the deal. Dither, dither, water down, news conference.

Yikes.
