HAPPY THANKSGIVING, ALL:
We'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who helps make Brothers Judd so much fun for us, and hopefully for you. First, to the Brothers From Other Mothers, who do such yeoman's work. Second, to our very understanding families who tolerate our blogging. Third, to the many folks who send us stories of interest and make invaluable suggestions. Finally, to everyone who reads and comments, even, or especially, the lunatic Darwinists, soccer fans, and folks who believe that Eric and Julia Roberts are two different people. Even in a year where God's blessings included a Red Sox World Series and a Republican landslide, we are most thankful for all of you.
God Bless you all.

What OJ said.
And, of course, thanks to OJ and Stephen, who make it all possible.
Finally, thanks to our military and their families, who do the hard work and make the real sacrifices for the freedoms we enjoy.
Posted by: David Cohen at November 25, 2004 12:14 PMI enjoy your blog more than any other on the web and I heartily recommend it.
Thanks for all your work,

Posted by: Brian at November 25, 2004 12:28 PMThis is the first place I go to relax when I'm on line. It has the best mix of links I've found. Thanks so much for your work.

Thanks for this veritable treasure of conservative analysis and discussion. As your home state flirts with the Dark (or shall I say, Blue) Side, our hopes and prayers have to be with all of you in the Granite State. May the local electorate's foray with liberalism prove as temporary as the Red Sox' with championships long-lasting.
Regards

Thank you for providing this wonderful forum for cranks and crackpots of every stripe to debate, learn, and generally have a good time. Your graciousness and good humor are unmatched in the blogosphere.
Blessings to all the posters, contributors and readers of BrothersJudd Blog on this Thanksgiving Day!
Posted by: Robert Duquette at November 25, 2004 12:56 PMThis is by far the interesting, well mannered, and intellectually demanding site I have yet found.
While the viewpoint is conservative, the breadth of sources is truly amazing. And the lucidity of the comments is second to none.
All in all, a terrific, and unique, combination.
Thanks.
Posted by: Jeff Guinn at November 25, 2004 01:26 PMI would just like to add my thanks to the Brothers Judd et al not only for their variety of postings, but for the regularity of their updates, even through weekend periods where many other blogs slack off.
Enjoy the holiday. Watch out for the shopping hordes on Friday.
Posted by: John at November 25, 2004 01:43 PMI'm very thankful for this site. The breadth of topics it covers and the context it puts them in is very impressive.
I'm also thankful for Mrs. Judd.
Posted by: Richard at November 25, 2004 02:22 PMHappy Thanksgiving to the Judds and all commenters.
Posted by: PapayaSF at November 25, 2004 03:00 PMmay next year may be the year you guys break out and hit the radio and airwaves. thanks guys for this wonderful resource.
Posted by: neil at November 25, 2004 04:22 PMBest site on the web. Thank you so much, Orrin and company, for such a wonderful and amazing collection of thought-provoking and enriching content and commentary.
Posted by: Jorge Curioso at November 25, 2004 05:14 PMDitto's from me.
Posted by: h-man at November 25, 2004 06:17 PMOrrin, all the Judd family, all the contributors and commentators,
Thank you for taking the time. I think yours is my favourite blog, even though you infuriate me sometimes. Heaven forbid I would call your blog "intellectual", but you raise the tone and have broadened my horizons.
Have a great holiday and long may you continue!
Best Wishes,

A very Happy Thanksgiving to everyone associated with this site!
Posted by: brian at November 25, 2004 06:36 PMThanks Brothers! While you are digesting the turkey feast I'm having Friday morning coffee on the other side of the World. I'm sitting here thankful you guys have this site I can visit daily. Tom Wall
Posted by: Tom Wall at November 25, 2004 07:32 PMI enjoy the site immensely. A belated Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Posted by: Guy T. at November 25, 2004 09:57 PMYours is truly the only blog I MUST check whenever possible -- truly indispensable. The pithy commentary alone makes this site superb, never mind the remarkable links and stories you come up with.
God bless.
Posted by: Matt Murphy at November 26, 2004 02:02 AMI have described this site to others as the universal epicenter for radical conservatism. I don't always agree, or even understand, but I always reflect heartily upon visiting, which is mostly daily. I really appreciate and am thankful for your work.
Thank you.

Posted by: Seven Machos at November 26, 2004 03:28 AMThough I've only begun commenting recently, I have found joy and fascination here since I began reading blogs after 9/11.
I cannot express how wonderful it is to be able to read about and discuss things that I don't dare mention around the Thanksgiving table with friends and family.
And, for the dependable positivity you provided during the dark times of the forgone election, you deserve a very special place in all of our hearts.
God bless you all, and your families.
Posted by: Randall Voth at November 26, 2004 08:05 AMI concur, of course, with all the warm comments above.
And this is indeed the single most indispensable blog/site on the internet. I learn from it almost daily, and I am constantly humbled by the amazing breadth of knowledge displayed not just by OJ, but by all of his Other Brothers, and by nearly all of the commenters.
Some things are bigger than politics; rational discussion of tough topics is one of them. Sadly, it's very rare, not just in the blogosphere, but in real life, as well.
Thank you to all, again, and may God Bless Us Everyone.
