Open Thread – Twelve Days of Christmas
14 12 2009Last year I had fun rewriting the Twelve Days of Christmas with Palinized lyrics. This year, the tradition continues. You can once again imagine the Mudflats choir congregating in town square, everything covered with frost and the new Mark Begich LED lights twinkling in the trees giving everything a money-saving blueish glow. There they are, with their red apple cheeks and cold noses, breath turning to steam waiting to begin.
They’ll be out here for twelve nights, delivering you a new verse each night and finishing up on Christmas Eve. Feel free to sing along.

And we thought Palin was doing some fancy hiding of emails.
22 MILLION missing emails from the Bush admin have been uncovered, so says 2 non-profits : http://bit.ly/6Y1EPB

austin @19 – if I wanna look at some road apples, all I gotta do is look out by my mailbox. Get a new pile there nearly everyday. Someday, I’m gonna name one of them after the former AK guv… “Hey, lookie there! The neighbor’s pony just dropped a fresh, steaming pile o’Sarah Palin!”

According to the Catholic lore I grew up with, the twelve days of Christmas begin on December 25 with the celebration of the birth of the Christ Child and continue to January 6, Epiphany, which marks the visit of the Magi.

“Boots on the Ground? AKM”
I’d rather have the bullet.
But I guess, for you (blush-twist toe in the dirt), I could just go and hangout, take pictures, etc.
AKM. The article reads like this is the Tea Party equivalent of “Netroots”.
Registration is $749.00 includes room, board, and training materials….

Bretta: I agree with Fawnskin. What you gave us was fascinating. I knew about the solstices and equanox, but I never heard about the rest. I’d love to have a small book with all of that.

I feel so good. I’m so tired of the commercials telling me to call Congress and tell them to vote NO on healthcare that I just called to tell them the opposite. Not that it’s going to make any difference with my pin-headed rep and senators, but at least I tried.
December 14th, 2009 at 2:00 PM
Oh yeah, that number to call Congress is (202) 224-3121.

is the link where you can watch the fascinating PBS program, “From Jesus to Christ” in full, online. (I taped it when it was on TV; it’s a favorite.)
Health and peace, and happy holidays.

BuffaloGal -
Not sure what’s up with Bflo weather but it’s downright mild out there today. Supposed to be in the 40s.
~~~~~~~~~~
Got that here in Roch as well. Much warmer than expected for this time of year (around 40) but way too chilly for my poor little kiddies when we had a fire drill this afternoon. I suspect that someone in the office suddenly discovered that we hadn’t done the required minimum for the first half of the year and decided to send us all out in the mud and slush. We have uniforms for the first time this year and lots of the kids have only short sleeve shirts, so they had goosebumps on top of goosebumps!

I noticed that palin has big ears, but didn’t notice she had two mouths.

I don’t think she looks very good on these medallions. Wonder how much she gets per coin because we all know Sarah doesn’t do anything for free.
December 14th, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Wow – those coins are the worst I’ve ever seen – my DH is a collector – so I’ve seen a few. OMG I don’t think he would buy one & he is a Sarah fan.

http://buzz.yahoo.com/article/1:y_news:4f432aea463fe3f3b25dfe6bf9d92c19/Ill-prison-to-get-Gitmo-detainees-AP I came upon this about the gitmo detainees being moved here,you have to buzz up to get to any comments.What I am getting at is someone and maybe more than one all but asked someone to kill our president.If I knew how to screen shot that whole comment section I would and send it to the secret service,FBI ect.Yahoo will give up anyone’s IP and they state so when you sign up. People like this must be stopped before something does happen. IMO some of those commenting belong in prison with these terrorist. Can any one screen shot and send it on? I hope so .This is more than the usual blathering by the idiots from faux noise.
