"A sardonic way of thankfulness..."‏ 'Obama Da dog'



Obama Da Dog  wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

There are many things to be thankful for on Kaua'i  this time of year and I would like to lighten things up in a somewhat sardonic way  and share what I am thankful for on our awesome cosmic island.

(This blog also ran as an opinion article on 11-24-11(Thanksgiving day) in the Kaua'i Garden Island News with the title, "Thankfulness..."

1- We have a Mayor that can sing and dance, which of course  is a priority when deciding who to cast your vote for.

 2- We have a bus service that eliminated the most popular bus-stop at Walmart giving us the opportunity to stretch our legs while getting off at Wilcox hospital, the closest  bus stop to Walmart.

3-We have no Ferry  service even though we are an  island community in the middle of the  Pacific. The airlines now  have an monopoly on flying and it feels wonderful spending in excess of  $160.00 on a round-trip to Oahu,(Approximately 60 miles one way) the approximate  same price to fly cross country on the mainland with Southwest airlines special holiday fares.

4-We have time to relax waiting in traffic almost everyday therefore allowing us time to burn excess gas and catch up on texting and phone calls.

5- Last but not least on a serious note, the main thing we have to be thankful for is freedom of speech and locally on Kauai being able to express ourselves in Letters to the editor in The Garden Island News.

I believe everyday is Thanksgiving, but it's still nice to have a holiday to give thanks and give! May G-d, Darwin or whoever and  whatever you believe in bless America and bring our country out of the worst recession in our remarkable nations history! Happy Thanksgiving.
