The national turkey as presented to the President.

Some gaudy big breasted tick of a creature gets honored by the fat-ass four-by-four-butt infested nation. This is like the national Christmas tree which is the size of a skyscraper, requires a forest to create and has enough lights to illuminate a blackhole. Garish American excess gala. Our strategy is to inundate, our art is to overwhelm and overawe and our people can't put enough donut material into their stomach. America has never embraced sly, cunning, less-is-more, and adding by taking away. That requires knowing the limits of consumption and possibility, denying them, negating your own hubris and practicing quality instead of quantity. In a land of infinite-seeming resource, the most infinite is our own arrogance.
