Cat named Whiskey gets bluffed by roll of wrapping paper:
Blast from the Past. At Daily Kos on this date in 2011—My own personal war on Christmas:
In many ways, this Christmas is no different from any other. I have my own little artificial tree with battery-powered fiber optics running through it. I've bought presents for most of the people on my relatively short list. Just like every year, I say I won't procrastinate this time. I say I'll get it all done early this time. And yet on Christmas Day, there are always one or two people I owe apologies to. So many excuses, so little time—we've all been there, one year or another. It's just that with me, it's every year.
But there's one thing remarkably different this year: I live with someone who has a really strange habit. Every evening at sundown for the past few nights, she has lit a candle and put it in some sort of strange metal candle-holder. And every night, she always lights one more candle than the night before. As if that's not weird enough, every time she does it, she starts singing something. It's the same chant every night, and it's in some foreign language that sounds very suspiciously Middle Eastern. To make matters even worse, the first word of what she's saying sounds very suspiciously like the first name of our president! (I always knew there was something definitively un-American about that guy. Just knew it.) I really, really doubt that's just coincidence. It must be some sort of secret signal that they're all using to undermine our God-fearing country.

On
today's "classic" Kagro in the Morning show, it's the December 27, 2012 episode, and
Greg Dworkin joined us to kick off discussion of one of the more bizarre stories of the past few days: Dick Armey's armed coup at FreedomWorks. We also discussed Bushmaster's ad campaign for its AR-15 product. You know, the one that reads, "Consider your man card reissued." That's what's made it the weapon of choice in the country's most infamous massacres! Finally, a reminder that the Fiscal Thingy hasn't been resolved yet, and isn't very likely to be, either, while the debt ceiling appears to have crept up on us once again.
