For instance, in <a href="http://newspaperrock.bluecorncomics.com/2009/11/why-thanksgiving-pageants-are-wrong.htm" rel="nofollow">Why Thanksgiving Pageants Are Wrong</a> and <a href="http://newspaperrock.bluecorncomics.com/2008/11/playing-indian-for-thanksgiving.html" rel="nofollow">Playing Indian for Thanksgiving</a>.
