Well, better late than never.

So – the retail season of Holiday Sales has kicked in. Hanukkah falls within a week of Christmas this year. Sales have been … solid … at the store, and the twin juggernauts of Hanukkah and Christmas have barely started to roll. I may not get many chances to sit down and put pen to paper until after both holy days have passed.

Obama(THHO) has managed to get the media to twist the unemployment numbers to a favorable-for-him statistic (Mark Twain once said there were “Lies, damned lies, and statistics.”) while ignoring the inconvenient truth that the rate dropped because so many people are no longer eligible for unemployment compensation and they have quit looking for work. 8.6% is a very pretty number that will sway some very gullible and less-than-intelligently-informed people to vote for the country and business hating socialist again. We can’t afford another four years of this; it will break this nation’s economic back.

(confirmation of OBL’s death was received when he turned up on the Cook County, IL rolls as a registered voter)

Dallas handed the Cardinals a win at home. That explains the cold weather around here lately.

In case I don’t get back on here between now and then, ya’ll have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS. And in case I don’t wake up for a while afterwards, Happy New Year, also!

^{In between I will be celebrating my 50th birthday.}

Just in case you are thinking that Obama(THHO) is pulling all this socialism-disguised-as-democracy stuff in a new and untried way, please notice the following (courtesy of my friend Touchstone47):

Nothing new to see here, move along please …

Don’t overeat. Don’t pass up the pie, either.

I give thanks I am around every day, even if I don’t post about it.

I will be spending the day first with the Cartter family in Tucson, honoring our mother’s request for a family picnic in her memory. Then, I will be joining the church family for another meal and more sharing time.

Ya’ll be careful. If you are driving, watch out for the other guy. He’s probably not paying attention to the road, and one of you ought to be.

Knee update – full use has been restored. Amazing what rest and following a doctor’s orders will do, along with the body’s ability to heal.

Got this from a friend of mine; he is very aware of the value of a donated dollar and wants you to be likewise:

As you open your pockets for the next natural disaster, or for Christmas donations, please keep these facts in mind:

> The American Red Cross President and CEO Marsha J. Evans’ salary for the year was $651,957 plus expenses….

> The United Way President Brian Gallagher receives a $375,000 base salary along with numerous expense benefits….

> UNICEF CEO Caryl M. Stern receives $1,200,000 per year (100k per month) plus all expenses including a ROLLS ROYCE. Less than 5-cents of your donated dollar goes to the cause….

> The Salvation Army‘s Commissioner Todd Bassett receives a salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 billion dollar organization. 96 percent of donated dollars go to the cause.

> The American Legion National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth!

> The Veterans of Foreign Wars National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth!

> The Disabled American Veterans National Commander receives $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth!

No further comment is necessary. Please be so kind as to share this this with everyone you can.

I know where MY donation dollars are going.

On this glorious Red Friday, we salute all the Veterans who have served throughout the years. I would like to extend a wish for an honorable Veteran’s Day to my friends and family who have served – if I tried to list every one of them, I would invariably miss one or two and I don’t want to let any of them think I don’t think about them.

I will be off-line until late Sunday afternoon – we are headed to Prescott’s Pine Summit Bible Camp for our annual church retreat. Try to be good while I’m gone, and don’t let the dog volunteer to go for pizza. Again.
