I was making some charitable donations on this #Thanksgiving day. When I got to the #NatureConservancy I remembered that they knuckled under to the administration's renaming of the #GulfOfMexico, so 1) I reduced my amount a little from last year, and 2) I made my donation "In Memory Of The Gulf of Mexico."

I doubt they'll notice, but it made me feel better.
