I'm busy waging the War on Christmas.
Third?
battle stations!
Ben Stein is still a schmuck.
It's getting to be dog dragging time. Happily the snow has melted so walking the four wheel drive will be less bothersome.
No trolley cars!?

Er, four wheel drive *nose*.
A top level Republican IT consultant who was set to testify in a case alleging GOP election tampering in Ohio died in a plane crash late Friday night.
Michael Connell -- founder of Ohio-based New Media Communications, which created campaign Web sites for George W. Bush and John McCain -- died instantly after his single-prop, private aircraft smashed into a vacant home in suburban Lake Township, Ohio.

Nothing that exciting here.
Just got back from grocery shopping.
Going to make a pork roast for Christmas dinner.
Tired of ham and turkey.
bored stiff, bowls games suck even if ESPN shills keep telling me they're great & better than playoffs; office party tonight, good food guaranteed but I don't drink & the company is iffy; may go to sports bar afterwards to catch Ravens/Boys (no NFLN on my cable); hoping Dolphins don't screw the pooch in ultra-cold by any standard but esp. viz a viz SoFla standard in KC tomorrow, & hoping Jets do screw the pooch in Seatle just out of spite; my weekend in a nutshell.
Glad you asked?
YES! The War on Christmas is alive and well and raging in Greece.
the shortest day before the longest night is just about ovah!
hope it was a good one.
National Enquirer has an interview with Michelle Obama's high school boyfriend.
Prom photo - she was a beauty even then.
The fella has nothing but glowing things to say about the future first lady.
Oh, and today is Bristol Palin's due date!
Watching Land and Freedom on Sundance; about the Spanish revolution.
Lovin' it.

It's the winter solstice. That's pretty cool.
I see stoat was already on it.
(Um, it's 65F here, bright blue skies, the oranges are ripe, and I'm shopping for tennis shoes. I'm very sorry. Very, very sorry.)

I feel like I should be doing something ceremonial. Probably Hecate's influence 
My internets are slow as cold molasses running uphill in the winter time, as my dad used to say.
C&l gets it.....
"It's understandable, given his background as a community organizer (not to mention someone who pitches "the audacity of hope"), that Obama believes you can reach out a hand to movement conservatives and build such bridges. Indeed, he's made it clear all along that's the kind of guy he is.
I just hope that when he finally gets that hand back after reaching it out and discovers it has been chewed clean down to the bone by a thousand vicious cuts that he has a little awakening about the nature of the nasty little beast the American Right has become in the past couple of decades. Such gestures for them are mere signs of weakness, nothing but opportunities to advance themselves and their agendas and to destroy liberals.
Bill Clinton had similar naivete early in his presidency, and it cost him dearly.
Well, Obama's not listening to us anyway. We're the now-marginalized dirty hippies he gets praised for slapping. Whatever."
It's kinda beautiful here, too. But we have to have some cold weather or the bugs will be hellacious in spring.
Oh, and today is Bristol Palin's due date!

I'm starting to feel bad for everyone involved in that.
DANG!
Big ol' lightning bolt!

No kidding. Those folks are a mess.
All you Atriots who have to be out in the weather...please be careful.
Are any of these oranges ready for picking and distributing to your many loving adopted nephews and nieces?
Pretty soon. I'd say about 1/5 of the crop is ripe, and the rest
is lockstepping behind it. This is all about two months ahead of time,
so it's hard to be sure entirely, but I think that roughly the end of
January will see them as sweet and ripe as they're going to be....
Did
I mention that my kumquat tree, that suffered from transplant shock for
a full 8 weeks, is now entirely bonny again? It's starting to put out
new baby kumquats and its leaves are open to the sun!

I believe I have an alternate plan, one that does involve fire, as a matter of fact.

GWPDA -- my friend who just got a new job in KY is devastated that she will have to sell the house (with any luck) before she gets her first blood oranges.
Her Meyer lemon is producing beautifully, though.
How can such little kittens generate so much destruction? And why do they hate ceramic things so much?

ErinPDX, snow month
Mine are on the windowsill. Snowman, Tree, Angel, and, oddly, star of David.

Troutski HFM: How can such little kittens generate so much destruction? And why do they hate ceramic things so much?
In the human environment, there are so many things that are too big and heavy for them to manipulate, yet they see us manipulating those objects every day.
So, they seek out objects they CAN manipulate. Their favorite is dragging small objects from a table, shelf, etc., into the floor.
.
Ceramic things are in the way. Actually, the kittehs are trying to help you by letting you know where you may and may not place various objects around the home.
kids are jammin
first metal, now smoke on the water

I still think I'm moving to NS.
Or somewhere.
I wouldn't live in this area if I didn't live in this house. It's incredibly dull.

I can't hear that song w/o thinking of Tony Soprano, passing out in his Suburban, when the tune starts skipping in the CD player: "Frank Zap! Zap! Zap! Zap! Zap!"

That's allowed in these temperatures, because the dancers just look like a bunch of smurfs with goose bumps.

We're having sporadic lightning strikes, here. No rain, very overcast... est. 38°F.

As the recent meeting of American leaders (to which Harper and Bush were not invited) closed, the presidents laughed it up about the shoe-throwing incident. Even if you don't read Spanish, just look at the picture of Lula (Brazil), Kirchner (Argentina), Bachelet (Chile) and Chavez (Venezuela) in stitches, seeing who can make the funniest joke about their absent brother's encounter with a pair of shoes.
It was 70°F here, yesterday at this time.

Doggy dragging complete. Much sniffing was involved.
*sigh*
I'd love for a temp above freezing right now. Gonna be single digits all long-ass week.
just look at the picture of Lula (Brazil), Kirchner (Argentina), Bachelet (Chile) and Chavez (Venezuela)
Kircher and Bachelet answer to "Madame President."
And Kirchner is a knockout!
We get it on most every night
when that moon is big and bright
it's a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Everybody here is out of sight
They dont bark and they dont bite
They keep things loose they keep it tight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
here and undead
And Kirchner is a knockout!

Bachelet lost her entire family to that asshole Pinochet.
The guy that Murkan presidents liked so much.
"I've got nuthin'." The words you wanted most to be able to say after your appointment at the Berkeley Free Clinic. Ahh, the Sexual Freedom Wars.
Hello again, beautiful people.
The snow has turned to rain and now the streets are fulled with slush.

Bill Clinton had similar naivete early in his presidency, and it cost him dearly.
I think that Obama is the Columbo of naivete. And Clinton's problem was not being naive either.
JP, that's some weird weather for your area in December. Be careful and make sure your surge protector is plugged in
I'm listening to my two youngest kids actually playing and getting along, because the alternative is to do chores. Silver lining and all that.
Otherwise just watching the snow on the christmas lights as the sun goes away for its longest sleep.
And I've discovered that the cat likes cold coffee enough to get his big ole haid stuck in my cup.
time to get a fire going. l8r.
Well, Ali, look at it this way, no worries about the beer getting warm.
What do you keep the thermostat set at?

The snow, which was supposed to stop at around 7 a.m., has continued nonstop all day long. Not a blizzard by any means, but it has not let up all day.
Gotta love the TV weathercritters. This would be the equivalent, at my job, of telling a student that the best source for her research paper on sleep apnea is the Encyclopedia of Serial Killers.
But I'm still going out for my special occasion dinner, dammit, even if we did have to cancel two reservations so we could eat within a mile of our house!
I got the kitty's Christmas presents today, and since I am a soft-hearted old softy, I gave them to him. I got him a little fleece cushion (sold as a small dog cushion) and opened it up and put catnip inside it. Oh, does he like that. He just spent the last twenty minutes pawing it and rubbing his face on it and you know how they do, and now he's curled up like a little teakettle on his catnip cushion. It's exactly the right size for his cute self. And of course he has a bowl of fresh 'nip right next to him, and a selection of salmon-flavored tender treats or whatever they are, and a brand new particle accelerator. But he likes his cushion best.
Currently thawing a big Trader Joe's chicken breast. That will go on the Foreman grill, a potato or two in the microwave, followed by a small bowl of frozen sweet corn.
I was none too pleased with the selection of tomatoes at the supermarket yesterday, so the old reliable, corn, is the vegetable of choice tonight. I couldn't find a loaf of decent sourdough anywhere yesterday. I'm hoping that I can find some on Monday.
the Encyclopedia of Serial Killers.

The one the library owns has no index. That how high-quality it is.
But it does have a special bonus section on Andrew Cunanan, the creep who killed Gianni Versace, which was added just before press time.
people say i'm lazy
dreaming my life away
well, they give me
all kinds of advice
designed to enlighten me
when i tell 'em that
i'm doing fine
watching shadows
on the wall
don't you miss
the big time, boy
you're no longer on the ball...
i'm just sitting here watching the wheels...
I got yet another Christmas song at the home page...
I got something.
I have not had health insurance since I got laid off. They laid me of the Friday (granted, in June) before the new health insurance plan would take effect. I got none now, not being able to afford COBRA.
Hopefully, I'll join my partners insurance during the open enrollment, taking effect mid-january.
Yet, we're not married, we're 'domestic partnes'. HER benefits are entirely before taxes. MY benefits would be AFTER taxes.
One more tiny difference in the so-called 'equal' treatment of same-sex couples.
One of the more than numerous advantages that straight couples have.
Separate, and not equal.
Go Obama for chosing bigot Warren!! NOT!!
