Happy Yule
Author: BobR
Date: 12/21/2007 13:25:39
Today is the first day of winter, the shortest day of the year. Starting tomorrow, the days get longer every day until late June 2008. So happy winter solstice, or as some Wiccans refer to it: Yule (yes, all those "yuletide carols" are "pagan" in origin). I suppose it's no secret that I'm no Christian (I'm no Wiccan either), but the Christmas season (and Yule) has always been a special time for me. There's a warmth and generosity of spirit that springs up in people (perhaps to combat the cold and darkness).
There's also all the special food and music... and of course: the special Christmas comedy. So it's Friday, and it's my last "official" post before Christmas, so I've decided to have a little fun. Here's some of MY favorite Christmas "cheer"...
First, there's Santa getting busted ("it's my wife's sleigh"
).
From SNL, we have the Jensen Family Christmas:
From the SouthPark team, we this short that was created before SouthPark became a TV show. It was actually what got TV execs hooked on the idea of the TV Show (warning: uncensored language if you're at work):
And of course, the best new Christmas carol ever - Dick in a Box:
So happy Christmahanakwanzaka and Merry Festivas. And if you need to get that Dick in a Box song out of your head, you can listen to Porky Pig singing "Blue Christmas". :lol:

I love that SNL skit. Course we can all see the "vomit" bag under his sweater (well those of us that have worked in the industry and know the prop signs) 
Will is one of my SNL fav's.
My wife says that I'm a pagan. I once asked her what religion I am, closest to, based on my beliefs: Pagan. So, thanks for wishing me a happy Yule! (Guess I'll need to learn more about it).

Oh yes, and today is an anniversary of sorts for Mrs. TriSec and I.
Although we've been legal before the State and God for only 11 years, we've been exclusive to each other for 16...today being our anniversary in that regard.

Good morning, bloggers!!!
I hope that the holiday season will be good to us all and those dear to us.
Right now, I am working on the Daily Headlines over at UNN. Here is a Reuters story that show how desperate things are getting out there: Tent city in suburbs is cost of home crisis.
Here is a humorus Christmas video called "Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime" - which perhaps shows Dick Cheney's vision of the future.
Happy anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. TriSec!!!

Okay, let me try that You Tube link again:
And if that does not work, try this one.
Let's keep these away from Dick Cheney. Besides the fact that it might give him some ideas, we don't want him to burn out any batteries. (Maybe that is what happened with the fire this week.)

From the Wiki:
Liver transplantation or hepatic transplantation is the replacement of a diseased liver with a healthy liver allograft. The most commonly used technique is orthotopic transplantation, in which the native liver is removed and the donor organ is placed in the same anatomic location as the original liver. Liver transplantation nowadays is a well accepted treatment option for end-stage liver disease and acute liver failure. [Italics mine - TriSec]
I've been in this industry for over 20 years...this strikes me as wrong on so many levels. This is corporate greed, pure and simple. They just didn't want to pay for a procedure that generally runs well over $100,000.
And what is the current salary of Cigna's CEO, one wonders?

Let's see. Income inequality levels are comparable to the 1920s, and we have a lot of suffering.
Mind you, I am beginning to wonder how bad the economy will turn. I feel that we have a Federal Reserve Board who is juggling everything in the air, and it may soon come down with a loud crash.

Thom Hartmann has speculated that they are indeed cooking the books, and putting stopgap measures to try to hold the fragile house of cards in place so that the mess falls on the next President. They are also printing a lot more money than they are letting on because official figures are no longer released. But Thom believes they will not be able to keep it afloat long enough to dump it on the next president.

I suspect this is the case.
The Bush administration reminds me of Louix XV of France, who was told that the crushing debts of his regime would burden his son and possibly create disaster. King Louis XIV said "After me, the Deluge."

I hope that the holiday season will be good to us all and those dear to us.
Right now, I am working on the Daily Headlines over at UNN. Here is a Reuters story that show how desperate things are getting out there: Tent city in suburbs is cost of home crisis.
Let's see. Income inequality levels are comparable to the 1920s, and we have a lot of suffering.
Mind you, I am beginning to wonder how bad the economy will turn. I feel that we have a Federal Reserve Board who is juggling everything in the air, and it may soon come down with a loud crash.
Thom Hartmann has speculated that they are indeed cooking the books, and putting stopgap measures to try to hold the fragile house of cards in place so that the mess falls on the next President. They are also printing a lot more money than they are letting on because official figures are no longer released. But Thom believes they will not be able to keep it afloat long enough to dump it on the next president.

Nice try, but the Fed doesn't print money. That would be the Bureau of Print & Engraving that is part of the Treasury Department.

Mondo, I am well aware that the Federal Reserve does not print money.
I will take your advice on a public radio program under consideration.
Here are some stories on the economy, though.

So, when will we be opening the blogger Joe gifts on Monday? In the AM or PM? It might be easier for me to do it earlier in the day since I am working that night.

It actually is the name used to be able to get it in Krogers and Food Lion but we haven't been able to find it in years now.
Have a recipe to make my own, well it's my Gramma's, but I don't have time to do that. Opening a bottle is so much easier.
I'm a rather lazy cook.

The Family TriSec has had a real tree for millenia....
Until this year. For some reason, the siren song of the big, shiny, aluminium tree has sunk its fangs into Mrs. TriSec. She even bought an evergreen candle so the house would "smell nice".
I was prepared to hike through the woods for 3 days this year, huddling in the snow, in order to find the perfect tree, but Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

We promised to celebrate when the time is right.
My mom, I think truthfully I am the out of sight, out of mind daughter. I really do. :(
FWIW...I've never seen you in my life, but I think of you often!

Bobber loves the holidays so much. HE makes this time of year easier for me... but jeepers. to hear that your mom can't send a gift... It isn't about recieving or giving, I hope I am not looking selfish, cause that isn't what I am saying... I just wanted to know that she thougth about seeing me.
I am sorry guys.

Raine, that sucks the way your mom treats you. If Republican Dad can show love to his pagan, peacenik, hippy daughter certainly mom should be able to show a little love. At least I was close with my mom until she passed on even if we were different people in many ways.

I get that. It's just wanted to be thought about, especially by your parents. I'm sure she thinks about you, you're her kid. She'll love you no matter what or where you are. This time of year it's hard to remember that with so much pressure to have the "perfect' Christmas. The perfect holiday is what you make it. I'm sure she'll call on Christmas.

My father loves having people in his home. And, since I have moved out ( 8 years ago ) and my brother passed away, the crowds have gotten smaller and further between. It makes my Dad sad. He always says to me "Bring anyone you want. The more the merrier." whenever I come for dinner. He doesn't understand that my friends all have their own families and their own stuff to do. But, I have always said that the best Christmas would be to gather up all my "Orphans;" anyone who doesn't have somewhere else to go and bring them to the 'rents. They've got a huge house! At one point there was 7 people living there; me, my brother, his son, and my grandparents. Now, it sits rather empty.

hey star.
Connecticut isn't that far. (Hell, we already drove to Florida this year).
Raine....ah, Raine.
We're always here. even across 900 miles this little corner of the internets has a little fireplace and a big sofa to crash on with big steaming mugs of hot cocoa and chocolate chip cookies and a puppy. Every blog needs a puppy.
Once the childhood joy of Christmas was past, I found it to be more a time for reflection and reminiscing...perhaps that another year has gone by and I've done nothing, perhaps that there's a new empty space at the table, or perhaps that we've all survived another year in reasonably good shape.
Celebrate what you can, toast what you can't and hold on to whatever makes you happy in this harsh place we call life.

Most of the old shows have been restored for the DVD releases. Since Time Warner owns the cartoon and Cartoon Network, it would make sense for them to have a new print.
