Sunday Funnies & Arts

Blogging while settling in for the Seahawks-Packers "game." The Pack is plays for a playoff spot, the Seahawks for pride, a quality that they have demonstrated much of this season. Anyway, who wants to play for pride?...

911? 911? My husband won't eat the dinner I made for him...

!!! At his age, I'd be bragging about it!...

The Vatican reconciles with The Simpsons...

The party of Newt Gingrich and Tom Delay laments the tenor of the debate in the United States Senate. Orrin Hatch finds fault not in the complete degradation of political discourse invented by that unholy duo and perfected by the Bush-Cheney Administration, but in ethics rules and the internet:
Both parties have become very polarized. A lot of that is because of the stupid ethics rules. We can’t get together at various events. A lot of people complain about taking foreign trips, which are really critical for us to understand foreign policy. The Internet is constantly badgering everybody. In the process, it’s gotten pretty doggone partisan, both ways. It’s bad.
Um, right. Meanwhile, Olympia Snowe, the Wicked Witch of the Northeast whose gutless refusal to support her constituents best interests and desires helped ensured a completely partisan split on the health care bill, puts it this way:
You have got this divide, this polarization in America.People become risk-averse, politically risk-averse. There is no incentive to reach across the divide and appeal to a broader inclination. It looks like pragmatism is a political cop-out; compromise is certainly viewed that way.
In some ways, you have to credit her bald honesty, which comes down to this: I don't care what the people of Maine want or think. I'm afraid that Senate hard-liners like Tom Coburn and Jim DeMint will view me as a compromiser, and that's what matters most to me...

Green Bay 14, Seattle 0, end of first quarter...

Have yourself a Merry Cajun Christmas...


The 'Hawks have now had seven penalties called against them in the first 21 minutes of the game...

We ate the damn stew and he belched and belched and belched and belched...

Packers score on a 56-yard run. 21-3. Enough already...

Wow! What a list of musicians who died in '09! I hadn't realized some of them were still around - I was sure they'd died years ago. As you know, I've done tributes to Les Paul and Liam Clancy. But I hadn't heard a peep from Willy DeVille in years, and now I learn that he's gone. There's another tribute coming, I think. That man will be missed!
