I have a Thanksgiving story for your consumption that has nothing to do with turkeys or pumpkin pie or crazy uncles.
Instead, in an effort to remind you what this holiday can really stand for, we'll meet some people who are thankful today for simply being free.
It's a short story today, but an especially touching one, so follow along and we'll take a little hop across the Atlantic for a trip you should not miss.
So it's more or less 30 hours until Americans enjoy Thanksgiving dinner, and you're asking yourself the annual question: "Isn't there a simple way to cook a turkey?"
Well, America, there is...and it does not involve bags, or injections, or even stuffing. No fancy preparations and no fancy equipment are required (with the exception of a large flat pan with metal handles, a carving fork or large tongs, and a food thermometer).
Here's the cool part: this method for cooking turkeys isn't just a method for cooking turkeys...and if you follow the directions, you'll soon discover that not only have you learned a new way to cook a turkey, you've learned a new way to cook almost anything that can walk or fly.
We only have 30 hours, so we better get right to it...

As Jan and I reflect on the past year, we are humbled and profoundly grateful for the tremendous outpouring of support we've received from people across the 4th CD and the entire country. To all our friends (both new and old), volunteers, netroots activists, and contributors, we can never say thank you enough for believing in this campaign, and for fighting so hard to get our country back on track.
