No I'm not deceased
Sorry I'm just pretty busy this holiday season. I'll be back soon but until then I offer this bit of humor.
A duck walks into a pub and says to the barman: "Got any bread?"
Barman says: "No."
Duck says: "Got any bread?"
Barman says: "No."
Duck says: "Got any bread?"
Barman says: "No, we have no bread."
Duck says: "Got any bread?"
Barman says: "No, we haven't got any bread."
Duck says: "Got any bread?"
Barman says: "No, are you deaf, we haven't got any bread, ask me again and I'll nail your Beak to the bar you irritating bird!"
Duck says: "Got any nails?"
Barman says: "No."
Duck says: "Got any bread?"

Ho Ho Who ?
Since we last met Sally has seen that Bob is really not all that enchanted with Ethel. Ethel of course is her 13 year old, blind, 3 legged
Pekinese/
German Shepard mix. Bob it seems is more of a ..... oh sorry wrong blog.
I've been told by fairly reputable sources that the Honda commercial is about "
HondaDays" not Holidays. Either way they took a staple Christmas song and basterdized it. Still gonna buy a
Kia.
This time of year this is a fairly common site around this bastion of Ivory Towerage.
(remember click the pic to enlarge, kinda the via... oh never mind)
A single lost glove. In fact it is such a common site that I was considering registering the domain www.ILostMyGlove.com or www.IveGotYourGlove.com or www.orphangloveseeksorphanedsockforagoodtime.com and posting picture after picture after picture of the gloves I spotted. The orphan gloves. Kind of similiar to the
Abandoned Bicycles of New York web page. But since I know what a bad idea looks like, I thought better of it. Hmmm maybe a lost shoe page ?
nah !!!

"I'd rather push a Ford than drive a Honda."
Happy Neutered Holidays to you.
We really can't be surprised by it ? We've all seen it coming.
Larry Norman warned us in 1973 in the words of his song "Christmas Time" which contained the classic line.
"It used to be the birthday of the Man who saved our necks..
..now it stands for Santa Claus they spell it with an X."
A politically correct Christmas season apparently means you can't use the word Christmas. We had a skirmish in the House of Respresentative over calling it a "
Capital Christmas Tree" again. In case you didn't know it was changed during President William Jefferson Clinton's tenure to "Capital Holiday Tree" to make somebody happy. I don't know who it made happy but it wasn't me. Now the
Honda Motor Car has taken "We wish you a Merry Christmas" and turned it into "We wish you a Happy Holiday's" in one of their recent TV ads. I know where I'd like stick some Figgy Pudding !!
Anyway, if you've grown intolerent of this intolerence crap and want to do something fun and easy. Go to your local Eckerd's, CVS, RiteAid, Savon Drugs, Hallmark or just get one of those greeting cards printing programs and send a
CHRISTMAS card to the A.C.L.U..
ACLU"Wishing You Merry Christmas"125 Broad Street - 18th FloorNew York, NY 10004Make sure it has some offensive words like, Christmas, Joy to the World, Peace on Earth, Unto Us a Child is Born...... Avoid the overtly Christian cards though. A simple Christmas message will do. If I get around to doing this today and I'll post a picture of the card I send them. I'm also looking for a bumper sticker (and I hate bumper stickers) for my vehicle that has the words Merry Christmas on it.
In the mean time make sure you make a fuss if you see or hear the word Kwanza or Chanukkah.

Mid Week Political Post
Do not read if doing so will make you like me any less. Seriously....
PaulE sent me a link to a very clever write-up of what the typical moonbat leftie thinks will happen if we bugger out of Iraq ASAP....... Written by
James Lileks, I give you week one but you can read the whole thing
here.
WEEK ONE
In a stunning display of logistical ingenuity, the entire coalition force retraces its steps backward from Baghdad to Kuwait, driving in reverse. (To placate an ally, troops are not allowed to retreat to Turkey.) The U.S. military hands over the keys to the installations, apologizes for the condition of the stove and some holes in the wall, and agrees not to ask for the return of the damage deposit. The Iraqis are warned that a special strike force will be right over the horizon in case anything happens, so keep it down.
On the way out, American forces bump into Syrian and Iranian soldiers, also in a hurry to leave. There are some comic moments — "After you!" "No, after YOU!" — but eventually everyone leaves Iraq to the Iraqis. The desert instantly blooms with a billion flowers, the power grid snaps on, and the oil pipelines heal themselves. Saddam hangs himself in his cell. All in all, a good start. ha ha ha ha
