Take comfort in the fact that every time someone types out the phrases "should of (sic) complied" or "play stupid games win stupid prizes" a spirit appears like in A Christmas Carol and shows them the future where they die alone without ever having known the love of another living being.
We hear you, we see you, and we know - as you do - that you're a miserable sorta-excuse for a human being who will never know a moment's happiness let alone be tolerable to any other person. Your existence is a cancer on the world and everyone forced to encounter you, even for a moment, is worse off for it. And unlike this woman shot down in cold blood, the moment you die will pass entirely unnoticed and unremaked upon. It will be like you never existed, and you know every word I said here is true. That's why you act the way you do and talk the way you do - because at night, when you're alone, you know all of this. The only thing that never occurs to you is that everyone around you knows it about you, too. You think your act fools anyone, and that's the scariest thing to you: the possibility that people see you for the coward you are.
They do. We do. Sleep tight. ...
It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
If you're grasping for anything to feel good about right now - and that's a very difficult thing to find - feel good about the fact that not everyone is as much of a spineless, collaborating coward as our elites. Total strangers will risk their lives to stand next to you. ...

I found some inside footage of the Young Republicans Christmas party this year. The link is below. Oh wait.. Those are Nazis:

Have a wonderful time with your family, and thank you for the many tears of laughter throughout the year.

@Da Moose
And you complain when someone calls you a socialist, but you call YRs nazis.
Merry Christmas Commie

"daily"?! more like hourly, unless work gets slow, in which case I might just sit there mindlessly hitting the 'refresh' button until I fall asleep.
Have fun with family; somehow the annual Orgy of the Presents (when the air is sometimes completely filled by the fountains of shredding wrapping paper) is more fun when small children are involved. My favorite present is still the time I gave a wad of wrapping paper wrapped up in something like 10 layers of wrapping paper. It was kind of a Christmas version of "turtles all the way down, Sonny!", and it was warmly received. The recipient also still remembers it, and I pay for it every Christmas. But it was worth it.
See you next year!

More like hourly.
(Unless someone were to give me a free pizza, in which case I might skip a check-in.)
Hazy Davy says:
1) I should have hit refresh, before posting, so I could have seen JohnR's comment.
2) DaMoose's link is weird. The majority of those Nazi's are brunettes.
Da Moose says:
BB, loving it baby. I'd rather be a commie than a corporate fascist. At least my neighbors would like me. In any case, have a Happy Generic and Neutral Holiday Time That May or May Not be Religious in Nature (not that there's anything wrong with that if it were) Celebration.
ladiesbane says:
Yesterday's piece still has me busy, so this works out really well.
Hobbes says:
I'm with Davy and JohnR, at least now that classes are over for the semester. Hourly at LEAST.
For the holiday season you might want to consider upgrading to gin and cookies. Or replacing the gin with nog. Mmm, nog and tacos…

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Happy Holiday to you and yours. And, thanks for all the great posts throughout the year!

I sure do. Merry Christmas.

What everyone said. Well, most of them, anyway.

What chautauqua said. Not to be too cute about it.

Haven't any of you ever heard of RSS? Saves on the manual refreshing.
Greg says:
Thanks for writing the blog, Ed. This and pensionplanpuppets.com are the first sites I go to every morning: one for radical liberal rants, the other for analysis of my
favorite crappy hockey team.
Hobbes says:
@Ike – RSS lacks the awesome Communist background for the terrifying of coworkers.
