Oh Edgar, Thank You!

....But the raven, sitting lonely on that placid bust, spoke only that one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing further then he uttered; not a feather then he fluttered; Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have flown before; On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before."Then the bird said,

"Nevermore."

Cookies and Candy

Make sure you have an abundance of cookies and candies on hand. That's the food for Christmas. It pleases everyone young and old. People with or without teeth. So get a fair sampling of the best, some soft cookies, some gingerbread, and lots, and lots, of Chocolate!

Zoey says, "Stop Pickin on Me"

Wendy's LOL Blog chose our little Zoey to posterize on their blog and all of the posters are really funny. The one above is the headliner. You'll catch it on "I can has cheeseburger" dot com when you visit other blogs. I think she was picked for her little toof. Although all of her is precious. To see more posters of the Zoey go HERE.

Eleven Pipers Piping

Well Sure. You get all those people at the "true love's" house and what?? No Music? You gotta have a few bagpipe blowers to make music people can dance to. So I think we have discovered that the song writer wanted to give his true love a party for Christmas. Now we have the musicians, the music, oh how wonderful.

All I Want for Christmas

Take your pick or getting both would be nice.

Bernanke? Time's Person of the Year?

You're Kidding!

Benanke joined the Bush Administration in creating Socialism for the Rich:

A socialism where profits are privatized and losses are socialized with the US tax-payer being charged the bill of $300 billion. This biggest bailout and nationalization in human history comes from the most fanatically and ideologically zealot free-market laissez-faire administration in US history. These are the folks who for years spewed the rhetoric of free markets and cutting down government intervention in economic affairs. But they were so fanatically ideological about free markets that they did not realize that financial and other markets without proper rules, supervision and regulation are like a jungle where greed — untempered by fear of loss or of punishment — leads to credit bubbles and asset bubbles and manias and eventual bust and panics.

And for this Ben Bernanke gets the honor of "Person of the Year" ??

Street Person

Well at least he's not asking for money.

Before and After Photos

Well he's had his coffee and is nicely warm and ready to get the reindeer set for the long ride in the sky. Lots of kiddies to surprise. Lots of chimneys to go down, lots of cookies to eat, milk to drink and lumps of coal to put in the stockings of kids like Grassley, DeMint, Lieberman, oh I'm sure you can think of a few more.

10 Lords a Leaping

And if they're dressed like these dudes in the photo above, New York's Time Square, you can bet they are chasing after the 8 maids and 9 dancing girls we just sent over to the "true love's" house. It has to be that the writer of the song is calling for reinforcements. After all, how much partying can any one man take with 17 women plus a "true love"? So now he sends her as a gift 10 Lords a Leaping. Go figure!

Future Leaders

Move over Obama man.

Walking the Dog

I wonder how she gets him back up.

Hello Snow

Best wishes to my friends up in D.C., especially Carol who just dug her car out of 20 inches of snow to get to work this morning. Yuk. But we all love what the snow looks like when it first falls. Above is a favorite photo of mine.

Name the City

Hint: People who live there are still not having a happy experience.

Sunday Morning

DO IT ANYWAY

People are often unreasonable,

illogical and self-centered;

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,

people may accuse you

of selfish ulterior motives;

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,

you will win some false friends

and true enemies;

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,

people may cheat you;

Be honest anyway.

What you spend years building,

someone could destroy overnight;

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,

they may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,

people will often forget tomorrow;

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,

and it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see,

in the final analysis,

it is about you;

It was never between you and them anyway.
