Happy Holidays...

Christmas Eve

From Album 5

Well, am recycling an old Rand Paul shot for this

The “Seinfeld” writer who created Festivus doesn't want Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) to celebrate the fictional holiday

“I hate the guy,” Don O'Keefe told The Huffington Post’s "HuffPost Live" in an interview Wednesday. "I think he’s some form of lizard that’s crawled into a suit and somehow been allowed in the Senate.

“I strongly dislike it when elected officials with whom I strongly disagree try to co-opt a government holiday of mine for venal, immoral purposes that hurt our nation,” he added.

Happy Holidays -- will post a photo of Tigger tomorrow...

But It's A Really Classy Lump Of Coal

From Album 6

Maybe the best lump of coal ever. A lump of coal so good it'll make your head spin. Oh, I won't even bother to link to Trump's latest ("schlonged" -- hell, there's almost a cottage industry devoted to whether and how crass it really is); anyway, I'm still oddly grateful that The Donald is sticking around. He certainly gives us a good idea of just how deranged the GOP base really is -- they'll happily go full on lemming (yeah, I know, the lemming thing is a myth, but...) And if, Flying Spaghetti Monster forbid, he somehow gets elected...what was the Thomas Jefferson quote? Something about getting the government we deserve? Merry Christmas.

FYI, I'll be posting sporadically for the next couple of days, and even more sporadically next week. Thanks as always for stopping by, and hope your solstice season finds you as well as you can be.

Cheers!

Jesus Saves

From Album 6

Via the five fingered discount:

Religious retailers say that the baby Jesus is also the most shoplifted item in their stores during the yuletide season.

Tis the season...

We've Been Down This Road Before

From Album 6

Krugman reminds us that Trump is a feature, not a bug -- or, to repeat myself, history repeated as perhaps tragedy and farce: we went through this shit eight years ago...and some folks STILL haven't learned the lesson.
