We here at Spin Control wish all readers a Happy Thanksgiving, where blessings are counted as many and varied, and everything else fades away to nothing.

While it's true that the year has produced its share of political turkeys, we hope Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, progressives and Tea Partiers can set that aside and raise a glass together, break bread and enjoy each others company. Politics at the dinner table is fine in moderation...no food fights out there or you'll be forced to sit at the kids' table.

Light blogging ahead through Monday, when we'll be back with news of proposed budget cuts and other leftovers from this week.
