    Happy holidays to everyone….

  • PackyJ

    I have a hard time working up the energy to bitch on Christmas Day.Maybe later tonight.

  • Nanotyrannus

    Second that, PackyJ. After a week of blistering cold weather here in Denver, it’s very nice out today. Awesome.

  • GItheJOE

    I have eaten enough desert that I am going into diabetic shock.

    I have lifted a huge pork roast (marnitated in orange juice and hot pepper jelly) in and out of the stove many times today. Does that count as a “feat of strength” for your Festiviuses thingie?

    Okay to brag on my wife (Anne Savage) a bit? Her Obama mosaic was chosen from 100,000 images on Flickr that Time magazine editors looked at to appear in their “Person of the Year” issue. She got a full two-page spread! w00t!You can see it here:http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1866936,00.htmlEven better is her actual poster page:http://www.revolutionaryviews.com/obama_poster.htmlAnd yesterday she was in three different newspapers:http://eclectablog.blogspot.com/2008/12/mrs-e-famous.html/wifebrag

    Just one week to the start of The Big Comeback :D Every morsel of food and drink is fair game until then.Also, I hadn’t seen anyone mention this awesome story of a guy in Utah who through a spanner into the works of a Federal uction that was selling off pristine lands in Utah for oil & gas drilling:http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_11274601

    Here just to wish all who celebrate the day a Merry Christmas! :) I may be scarce, as Kwanzaa starts tomorrow.QT

  • viccan

    QT,Does one say Merry Kwanza or Happy Kwanza?Whichever is appropriate, that’s the one I mean to say.Have a great time with family and friends!

  • viccan

    By the way, Lee, thanks for your holiday wishes! And to everyone else,Seasons Greetings!I’m so-o-o-o impatient for January!

  • http://obamaproject.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    viccan! Thank you. It’s “Happy Kwanzaa” actually. I’m in the rather frustrating process of moving my blog from where it is to my general website here: http://www.windonwater.net/index.php?blog=15.0.It's going to be slow and painful, and since I don’t have a converter there posts will be wildly out of sequence, if I actually bring over the other posts. BUT, in the meantime, I’m going to do at least one Kwanzaa-themed post per day. You’re welcome to visit. :) (Sorry for saying goodbye and then coming back. I’m just needing to avoid killing someone or breaking my computer into tiny bits…)QT

    Congratulations Ann Savage! Awesome work! Happy Holidays to all.

  • anotherbreakfastwithyou

    Happy Holidays to everyone here at BC’s GDAB. It’s been an uber fun ride this year. Keep up the fine work, bloggies!

  • Lee Stranahan

    Congrats to Ann – HIGHLY awesome…Here’s a video that I edited / did animation on today for Barely Politics. They sent me the audio track late last night….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8upkHdhMHDo

    This holiday isn’t over until your pin your father.

    Well – I’m spending time with Richard Smallwood tonight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k_vEIFKQoUNot Christmas, but I’d lost track of Richard Smallwood since his last grammy, and this is another wonderful song.I actually came here to remind Bob that he has to give up the goods on what Santa brought his little girl. Father Kwanzaa** hasn’t stopped to my house yet, but he’s got a couple of goodies, I have it on good authority. ;) **Note: There is, in fact, no such myth as “Father Kwanzaa.” I just made that up. LOL!Lee, your boy is too old for Santa, but we still want news. That’s the thread for tomorrow – best Santa’s gift. ;) QT

    QT, let us know when your move is finished. I’m not able to access anything after July. And I can’t login, which I’m sure is due to the move because I registered a while back.Happy Kwanzaa, and don’t bash the laptop, lady. Peace!And for Ann Savage–beautiful! I’d even seen that but didn’t know we were one degree from it here in Cescaland. Congrats to your wife, Electablog.Bob, now I’m wondering what Santa brought. Come out and play for the OT.

    It’s not over until someone pins Chesca’s head to the floor.

    LongLiveTheFighters:Maybe because most everyone here is a HuffPo Drifter(ight).DN! is the only place I trust with news of any kind:http://www.democracynow.org/2008/12/22/posing_as_a_bidder_utah_studentNote the difference between the articles? He came from a finals class to the bidding area. He didn’t intend to disrupt. He simply showed up and found out he could start bidding. It took him awhile to work up the nerve. And last thing I love about the DN! interview: the sale lf the BLM was a question on the finals he had just come from.Talk about being present!
