This Thanksgiving over 46 million turkeys in America will be eaten which equates to about 690 million pounds of turkey meat... or as Kirstie Alley calls it: a "Jenny Craig cheat day."

Did you guys know the rumor that Turkey increases tryptophans and makes you tired is a myth? Drowsiness is actually caused by the carbo-heavy sides like potatoes and stuffing... or if you're in the Senate, reading the entire Healthcare Bill.

Here's another Thanksgiving turkey fact for you guys... did you know that white meat has fewer calories and less fat - than dark meat? Yeah, and according to Lou Dobbs the white meat also works harder.

Some new balloons this year in the Macy's Parade: There's an updated Spiderman, Ronald McDonald, the Pillsbury Dough Boy... and Macy's planned to fly a bunch of balloons shaped like the "New Moon Wolfpack" but they worried Sarah Palin would shoot them down.

On Thanksgiving Macy’s is the world’s second-largest consumer of helium. The number one largest helium consumer: Balloon Boy's parents.

This Thanksgiving it's expected that 2.9 million people will travel by car, trains, and buses. It's also predicted that all of those people will arrive before any Northwest passengers do.

President Obama had his first Thanksgiving at the White House yesterday - a Pot Luck dinner hosted by Michelle. Hillary Clinton brought the cranberry sauce, Joe Biden brought the sweet potato casserole, and Tim Geithner brought some M&M's he found in the seat cushions of one of his "Clunkers."

Did you guys see J.Lo's performance at the AMA's this weekend? During her dance routine, she jumped off a platform, slipped and landed on her butt. Don't worry, she's ok... but the stage suffered a concussion.

Former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs said in a new interview that he is considering running for President in 2012. If he runs political strategists believe he could be the first candidate to receive 100% of the "Unpopular" vote.

Dobbs said on day one as President, the first thing he'd do is make the White House... even whiter.

Oprah’s best friend, Gayle King, said in an interview with NBC this morning that Oprah doesn’t watch TV. Apparently that's Stedmon's job.

There are upwards of 100 balloon handlers per giant balloon in the Macys Parade. Yeah 30 to fly each balloon and the other 70 to call cnn and report a hoax.

President Obama said today that he has made a decision on how many more combat troops soldiers he will send to Afghanistan and will make the announcement... after Thanksgiving. Apparently he's waiting until the precise moment when the Republicans' food coma sets in.
