Weekend Update - December 8th



  • Rudy tells us what "the essential nature of Americans" is all about. Thank you Mr. Mayor, now sit down.
  • Here's Keith Olbermann's best Special Comment to date. An ode to our "Idiot-In-Chief," "You Sir, have no business being President." It made me stand up and cheer. (Video)
  • The Fakest Time of the Year - "The 2007 Falsies Awards".
  • Remember Bush's "Coalition of the Willing" in Iraq? Well it's getting down to our troops, the Blackwater idiots, and a couple guys from Kazakhstan, wherever the hell that is.
  • Something's rotten in Alaska. So what's new?
  • Stupidest Republican statement of the week: "Nobody is happy about losing lives but remember these are not draftees, these are full-time professional soldiers.” Mitch McConnell, (R-Ken): Douch bag.
  • December 8th, 1980, the day John Lennon was shot to death. John, we wish you were here...
  • Big Oil's big dreams are close to coming true as Iraq's Oil Ministry prepares deals for the country's largest oil fields. Gee, maybe we can start bringing the kids home now....

We chanced to visit the Imagine memorial for Lennon in Central Park on Thanksgiving. Moment of silence and whatnot. There were a lot of people there taking photos and leaving flowers. From what I hear, its always like that.

Dear Friends,

To All My Liberal Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not wit hout due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wish.


To My Conservative Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
