Deus ex machina our only hope? Divine intervention to create some semblance of comity in congress. So far, just comedy of errors. If Jon Stewart and Bill O’Reilly can coexist, there must be a god out there somewhere. January pay checks will not be funny. Even Tea Partiers won’t be laughing. Game, set, match. Fiscal cliff. Obama tax bill. Hahahahaha. Comity Central coming soon.
Primo Kristmas
Lacey powder. A whitish blanket covering grass and roof. Kristmas krackers were particularly laden this year. Colitti confetti everywhere. Cuzins cuter than ever. Wasn’t last Kristmas a minute ago? Happy and Merry to all!
Los primos felices de 2012.
NOMAW
Newtown Opposes Military Assault Weapons. Ban rifles rigged for maximum mass carnage. This is a cause that could change the culture as MADD did. Families of victims of Sandy Hook are the only ones who have the right to start such a movement. It’s too soon, now. An idea for the future. A new lobby to be formed by all affected by automatic gun murders to counter the NRA. There is no reason to have access to ammunition clips that can kill 20 kids in 2 minutes. No more.
And another thing. Get the media out of Newtown. Enough already.
Gun Country
When America loves its children more than its guns, things may change. Children treated as chattel will treat children as chattel. Sad weekend.
CaShew!
‘Tis the season for fortunate Cashews. The Catholic-Jewish combo produces spoiled but beautiful children.
Hanukkah, Chanukah. 8 nights of presents, gelt (money), dreidels, dancing. Gathered ’round the table, they get lots of treats. Zovy-boom and vodka. No, that’s not it. Candles shed their sweet light to remind them of days long ago. Transliterations and latkes. Bah-rook, no toy? They’re annoyed. Happy Menorah-kah.
Then in a coupla weeks, they get Kristmas. Oy.
The Side Trek – Worst 2012
If the world doesn’t end on December 21st, then:
Trump. Rove. Grover. Rush. Foxbots. You’re all fired.
Solidified Congressional divide. Teapots.
Zzzomney & AynRyan. Clint’s empty chairs.
Social media. Anti-social.
Reality shows. Drunk friend-jumping plastic people.
Tiger. Lance. Football injuries.
Global instability. For real.
Benghazi. Benghazi. Benghazi. For ratings.
Sandy.
Sandusky.
Sandy Hook. Â Â 12/14/12

Terrorists. Bad guys with guns. Al Qaeda. Mean mob. Attack. Opportunistic violence. It’s post-Quadhafi Libya, for Pete’s sake. Arab Spring. Winter. War. Battle. Skirmish. Words. CIA. FBI. NSC. Men and women misbehaving.
Incompetence. Distractions. Who cares? The world is in turmoil. Lessons learned and fixes for the future. Rather than parsing language to describe tragic events of the past. Geez! Get a grip. Small talk. Big problems.
Last Ballot
70% of Americans said this was one of the most important elections ever. Jack Cafferty asked why? He read what I said, “The country has passed its tipping point. Both parties need to grapple with how to balance an aging and diverse population’s needs without going completely broke. If civility doesn’t replace sniping, the Mayans may have been onto something.”
Kudos to Axelrod, Messina, Plouffe. Brilliant tactical campaign. Let’s hope Obama picks just as strong a White House advisory team and Cabinet to lead us through the tough challenges of the next four years. Exhale. Bon Weekend.
