...common theme of most angry pundits is other angry pundits (hypocrites!), and the showdowns have got ugly. At a publishers' luncheon last summer, Franken goaded O'Reilly for wrongly saying his former show, Inside Edition, had won Peabody Awards; O'Reilly called Franken an "idiot" and told him to "shut up." But a rising bile lifts all boats. Franken's book is in its 12th week on the Times best-seller list; O'Reilly's Who's Looking Out for You? is in its seventh, and his Fox News show remains the most popular in cable news.

Aren't these the same people who panicked at the anthrax scare, who were united by grief after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and who expect their President to find solutions to security problems? Americans must shut up and take the good with the bad. Bush is doing his best to protect the U.S. Americans make me sick when they gang up with foreign detractors to condemn their President. There's really no winning with them. OGOCHUKWU EKWENCHI London
There are many ways to celebrate Thanksgiving, but adults--and most people who have graduated from kindergarten--are too often shut out of one of the most enjoyable traditions: drawing turkey hands. So TIME invited an elite cadre of celebrities and distinguished citizens to partake in this uniquely American art form. We encourage our readers to let their inner child out and do the same.
