We began posting this Thanksgiving Prayer by William S. Burroughs and Gus Van Sant back in 2006, and a lot of things have changed since then. The deadpan list of Bloody American Triumphs is more relevant than ever in this annus horribilis of 2016, and if Burroughs were with us today, he might look at his 1986 poem and wonder how he'd ever been such a starry-eyed optimist.

I've been looking all over for you Tom. Time to come over and let me put you back in the chute. You sure are going to taste good, being the guest of honor for dinner tonight...
People have been expecting that for a long time. I think Syria is a more imminent threat. But either one could be very unpleasant, and Cheeto Man is so ignorant he probably can't find either one on a map.
Prezactly! Actually, my other brother didn't do well either. He lost it and blew up a partnership that still owed him money, that he probably won't get now. I haven't actually destroyed any relationships or property, so I guess I'm doing comparatively well as far as my family goes.
On the other hand, I just learned at Thanksgiving dinner today that a good friend is moving back to Germany after living here his entire adult life. I suspect the election is at least part of it, though there are other reasons as well. Just recently, Germany has opened up dual citizenship with the US. So my friend WILL become a US citizen before he returns. The other big reason is that he can't afford to retire in the US. He can in Germany. Finally, he's been trying to get his girlfriend to move to the US. I wouldn't choose to move here now if I were her.

Praise be and pass the bottle! :)
As for Burroughs, Lawrence, KS owes a lot to him. He moved there in the early '80s and stayed til his eventual death in '97.

I guess those feces weren't going to fling themselves. Carry on, Trumpanzee.

Thanks, grandpa!
May you all be among the first to be eaten when great Cthulhu rises. I can express no higher love for all of you.
Why Bless Your Heart!

My birthday is the 24th so I take vacation for an American style long weekend. I win!
Also, too, you're never alone with a schizophrenic.
