Happy Thanksgiving

Coakley told WGBH she’s “outsourcing” her turkey this year, but one of her friends revealed her recipe back in September:

I owe Martha much.  She taught me how to make the best roast turkey ever (rub under and over the skin with olive oil and stud with many, many cloves of garlic.)

And here’s the perfect Thanksgiving song from Livingston Taylor, who played it at a recent fundraiser for Coakley.  [This video was recorded elsewhere.]  Taylor explained that he advises his students at Berklee to avoid politics and that he himself doesn’t endorse politicians, but that he was making an exception for Coakley.

What I sense about this remarkable woman is… [that she is] part of a revolution that is going on.  We are tired, we are sickened by the politics of the past, we are sickened by corporate excess and divisiveness, and we want to turn the page, and that page is being turned.  And part of the turning of that page will be Martha Coakley.

She has the discipline that calms [combined with] the passion that energizes the future.  DANG it’s fun to be part of this.
