Well, This Is It

Apocalypse time. The day of reckoning. The Big checkout time. SMOD2012's election party. There were so many things I hadn't done this year yet. Blog posts left unposted. Car stereos left unstolen. Squirrels left unshotgunned and unstewed. Unsuspecting hobos left unchloroformed. It's all just so sad. Oh well. I plan to ride out it with a very wet martini (shaken) while this is being played on an endless loop.

Unless of course nothing happens tomorrow in which case I have a lot of Christmas shopping to do followed by a lot of eating and drinking. If I don't make it back before next year, Bon Natali e Bon Capudannu!

In Case Anyone Wants To Save Some Time...

Here's how the "serious" conversation on gun violence works...

Conservative: "Crazy people shouldn't have guns"

Liberal: "All gun-owners are crazy"

(conversation over)

I Heard The News Today, Oh Boy

• "The lizard has these very tall, straight teeth and Obama has these tall, straight incisors and a great smile,"
• Wow, this sure would reflect negatively on whoever is president if we still had one. (Or maybe the UN ambassador? No? Whatever.)
• Soledad O'Brien: These statistics and facts you cite are too confusing for my tiny Liberal brain
• Soledad O'Brien, abortion supporter, just can't stand Christmas carols because they remind her of child murder.
• Hey kids, isn't it time to we drop this whole "journalism" facade since no one's buying it anyways?
• No seriously, can we stop pretending?
• Your picture of the week.

Until We Learn To Recognize The Signs Of Serious Mental Illness and Potentially Violent Behavior These Tragedies Will Continue To Happen

Taking Five

I seem to remember some tv program on Brubeck where someone mentioned that they were on tour with Dave and they woke up early to find him practicing at the piano. He had two metronomes running on the piano, one for his left hand and one for his right hand. I believe he was at least sixty at the time and he was still touring well into his eighties.

• Hey The Onion, quit stealing my super awesome bits
• And then John Boehner said, "It's on like Donkey Kong!"
• Your meme for the next few months: If you don't accept Obama's sweet offer to expand Medicaid and cripple your state's economy, you want people to die. 
• Oh, and by the way, meet Obama's middle finger. Her name is Kathleen Sebelius.
• You can't spell "Holocaust Two" without "Palestinian state"
• "Now imagine if a Tea Partier .... had fire bombed a federal facility ...."
