Turkey Time

I trust you all had marvelous Thanksgivings--mine, in fact, was "marvellous," being in the UK and all. It's snowing here for the first time this morning, which is rather quaint.

Some news from yesterday:

• Trouble up north: Canadian PM faces a no-confidence vote soon. Tell me, why don't we have a parliamentary system?
  
  
• Rap kills: French MP believes rap fueled the riots. Kanye West has been noticeably silent on the matter.
  
  
• Brownie will do a heckuva job in his new emergency planning business, I'm sure.
  
  
• The London Times Online reports Bush will pull 60000 troops out of Iraq next year. Wow.
