Great Job AMK!

Interesting from HuffPo:
Honorable Mention

Well, I just didn’t know where else to put these two, so I’m sticking them in honorable mention. Maybe it should be dis-honorable mention, you decide. I don’t know that they deserve any award, but they’re worth mentioning because they were part of the fabric (pun intended) of political life in 2008.

“Drill baby, drill!” Wasn’t this annoying? Well, yes, but the chant heard at the Republican National Convention (and elsewhere in Republican crowds) just goes to show — once again — that Republicans are just better at this “framing” stuff than Democrats. To reduce our energy choices for the future to three powerful words was so intimidating that Democrats in Congress immediately caved in to the pressure, and threw away offshore drilling bans that had been in place for years. That’s power, boiled down into three words, and for that alone it’s worth a mention.

And lastly, no roundup of the past year would be complete without mentioning Sarah Palin’s wardrobe. I still say the Republican National Committee missed a huge fundraising opportunity here, and could have auctioned off anything bought for Palin (whether she actually wore it or not) at a healthy profit. Instead, reportedly, they donated the whole $150,000 worth to charity. So that homeless women have designer gowns to wear to their alley, I guess. The whole thing was just so mis-handled from the beginning that it deserves some sort of special mention here.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night, morning, afternoon, evening, night, and so on, and so on, throughout the year…

We all met up in this electronic community in this year of insane psychological turmoil. We are all here to stay.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

@ Prup (aka Jim Benton)
Great Writing Job! lol, I could just picture Newhart in the role!

I’m wishing all Mudpuppies a Happy and Safe Holiday from my snowbound home in Seattle! My friend with Chains is picking me up for dinner at her place tomorrow. The power went out for a couple of hours this afternoon, so I’ve had enough of a white Christmas to last a lifetime.

Nite Mudpuppies,

A very happy Christmas to you all.

With love and best wishes from Ireland.

AKM,

I can’t even begin to thank you. So many highs and lows. And you made them humorous.

Feel totally free to pass it on, but credit would be appreciated. As for the guy who asked if I could do it in Newhart’s voice, sadly my gravelly nasal voice is nothing like his, or like too many other Earthly sounds — thank goodness. I might see if I could do a video, where my bad acting could distract from my voice, but my voice alone, especially through a microphone — nooooooo!

Prup just made the problem with Palin’s use of sex-ed clear for me:
Sarah- as a contraceptive technique, abstaining is most suitable *before* a woman becomes pregnant. While pregnant, not so much, even though you delay marriage and live apart.
I hope this helps.

Alas, the arrest came too late— but when I heard the number of indictments against Levi’s mom, I immediately thought of the Twelve Muddy Days….

“Six Counts of Drug Dealing by Sketchy Future In-Law” Is a little too wordy, ALSO TOO.

Guess I need to “progress” my songwriting skills before next year, doggone it.

Happy, happy holidays to all you dear Mudpuppies and AKM who made this fall MUCH more bearable and a hell of a lot more fun!

Looking forward to tip-toeing along with you all in the New Year!
