Today's Blog Menu: No Leftovers, Plenty of Food for Thought

Happy Sandwich Day -- aka the Day After Thanksgiving. As you prepare your turkey sandwiches, left-over yams, and thank-god-there's-still-a-slice-left pumpkin pie (and promise yourself you'll start working off the holiday bloat right after you finish eating), our HuffPost bloggers have one more item for the menu: food for thought. Their takes on what we have to be grateful for, and where we can do better. So belly up to the blog. In the meantime, we can't let the moment pass without mentioning the week's biggest turkey, Scott McClellan, who joins that long line of former Bush administration officials who only feel compelled to come clean when it might boost book sales, not when it might rescue the country. Gobble, gobble, Scottie.
