HAPPY THANKSGIVING From Scared Monkeys … Thanksgiving Declaration from George Washington 1789

Scared Monkeys wishes everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving and remember what you are thankful for today. On Thanksgiving we think of sitting down with family, turkey, stuffing, parades, football games and pumpkin pie. We think of the stories of pilgrims and the First Thanksgiving. Most of all, we remember to give thanks

A history of Thanksgiving. However, let’s take a moment to remember the Thanksgiving Proclamation from George Washington from October 3, 1789 and what gave us the present day holiday of Thanksgiving. They just don’t write speaches like this today … maybe “they” should start.

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor — and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be– That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks -for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation–for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war–for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed–for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted–for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions– to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually–to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed–to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord–To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us–and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

This is not our formal Thanksgiving Day salute; however, I would be remiss if we did not include on this day what had to be one of the top 10 funniest comedy episodes of all time.

One of the funniest comedy clips of all times …. Turkey Drop from WKRP in Cincinnati.

As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly

Grandmother of 8 Year Old Arizona Boy Who Killed Father & Friend Says Boy was “Capable” of Murder, Mom Says He Loved his Dad

Earlier this month we were presented with the shocking and unbelievable horror that an 8 year old St. Johns, AZ boy fatally shot his father, Vincent Romero, 29, and Timothy Romans, 39, of San Carlos with a .22-caliber rifle. The 8 year old boy was charged with two counts of premeditated murder.

The double murder case has already taken some bizarre turns in that first police interrogated the 8 year old boy getting the minor to confess without having a lawyer, parent or guardian present. Then more recently the prosecutor looked to drop one of the murder counts against the 8 year old. Now, the grandparents of the 8 year old boy accused of the double murder stated that the boy was “capable” of committing such crimes.

In documents released Wednesday by the Apache County prosecutor’s office, St. Johns police Chief Roy Melnick said that Liz Romero, also known as Liz Castillo, shouted out angrily when she was told the boy would be arrested in the Nov. 5 killings.

“I knew this would happen,” she said. “They were too hard on (the boy). I knew (the boy) did it. He spent the night in my bed cuddling up to me. I had a feeling he did it. If any 8-year-old boy is capable of doing this it’s (the boy).”
