                          Thanksgiving with the Indians
 Three hundred and eighty-four 
                          years ago, William Bradford celebrated a feast with 
                          his fellow pilgrims and the Massasoit Indians. This 
                          year, The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith carried on his ancestor's 
                          tradition by sharing a holiday feast with a different 
                          set of Indians located on the opposite side of the globe. 
                          And while the menu was a bit nontraditional (his hosts 
                          thought "turkey" was a prepared dish, not 
                          an animal), the sentiment of goodwill and thankful appreciation 
                          was very much the same. And following the meal, Rev. 
                          Smith enjoyed his traditional nap, face-down in a bowl 
                          of mashed-potatoes (though this year it was aloo gobi).

                          quells rioting in France
 After two weeks of riots 
                          in France, Rev. Smith was flown to Paris today to hammer 
                          out a compromise between thousands of disaffected, unemployed, 
                          second-generation immigrant suburban youths and the 
                          French government, widely seen as discriminatory and 
                          anti-immigration. Smith's proposal calls for a massive 
                          building project that will provide jobs for 200,000 
                          unskilled and semiskilled laborers. That project is 
                          a massive 50-meter high wall around France which would 
                          deter further immigration. The French government was 
                          quick to accept the plan, with prime minister Villepin 
                          noting that a side benefit of such a wall would be to 
                          "repel a German invasion, should the occasion arise."

                          lacks fat rap star
 With oil prices soaring, 
                          the economy stagnant, and the country bogged down in 
                          a overseas war, now more than ever the times call for 
                          a fat rap star to take our minds off our problems so 
                          we can instead listen to the problems of a fat rap star 
                          set to tight beats. While the 1980s gave us The Fat 
                          Boys and Heavy D, and the early 90s produced Sir Mix-a-Lot 
                          and Bizmarkie, ever since the deaths of Notorious B.I.G. 
                          and Big Pun at the end of the millennium, America has 
                          gone without (even though some dope-ass rap names like 
                          "Ova-w8" or "Obese" go unclaimed). 
                          While some think D12's Bizarre 
                          may be the answer to our prayers, others are putting 
                          their hope in Dr Dre gaining another 50 pounds and releasing 
                          a comeback album, born again as a fat rapper.

                          Let my people come.
 Rev. Smith is working on 
                          a screenplay for a Bible-themed porn movie to be released 
                          in 2007 
                          called Sexodus. The plot 
                          is what Smith has deemed "historical friction". 
                          Set in an ancient Egypt with a rapidly multiplying slave 
                          population, Pharaoh Ramses has outlawed orgasms among 
                          the Hebrews, and put them into forced labor erecting 
                          massive black obelisks. When all hope seems lost, along 
                          come two men: Moses, who takes his commands from a burning 
                          bush, and Aaron, whose staff can work miracles. God 
                          himself steps into the fray, afflicting the Egyptians 
                          with ten STDs, and after penetrating the Red Sea, He 
                          celebrates victory by raining down manna from heaven 
                          for all the people to swallow.
