Christmas lights

No, that is NOT our house. It's a house near one of the parks where we walk. I love how they decorated their yard for Christmas, it's the perfect blend of the secular and the religious. It's as if they are trying to make sure they cover both sides of the Christmas spectrum. Or maybe they're blending traditions by saying, "Santa gave us the little baby Jesus for Christmas."

I'm still feeling the holiday love and I hope you are as well. I like this time of year because things slow down and those bastards in Washington DC who are ruining our country are taking a few weeks off. But it's important to remember that we've still got men and women in uniform in far off lands fighting a useless and idiotic war for oil and revenge. And one of the sad things about that is that they'll be there next year as well because President Idiot has no idea how to end this war he started. So while you're enjoying your friends and family and all your gifts this year, remember the Afghans and Iraqi's who are being killed, maimed and displaced because of our government. Also remember that at one time the USA used to be considered a moral country that had a some respect for the rule of law and that we haven't always been the international pariah we are now.

If I could have one gift I really really really want this year, it would be for the wars to be over. And for President Idiot and Vice President Evil to be impeached and imprisoned. That's two gifts I know, but in my mind you can't have one without the other.
