Opening Stuff:
And they came. And they kept on coming. From aircraft carriers Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu, Shogaku, Zuikaku. The drone of one hundred and eight A6M Zeros, one hundred and forty four B5hl Kates, one hundred and thirty five D3A Vals. Dropping, launching bombs. Strafing. Unrelenting. Never ending. And American soldiers and sailors and airmen and Waacs and Waves died in the onslaught. On a Sunday morning. Many while they slept. Dreaming about a picnic after church. God bless them all.
How many times can we be warned and then cease to be alert?
Last night the New England Patriots kept on coming and turned the game of the century into a New England Christmas dream.
The Question:
Babwa Walters "10 Most Fascinating" always start off as 8 with two to be announced later. This year's 8 are Justin Bieber, Sarah Palin, "The Jersey Shore Cast:, Jennifer Lopez, Sandra Bullock, Lebron James, Late Middleton and Betty White. Give me four people who you think should qualify as the last two.
The Headlines:
--President Announces Agreement On Tax Break Extension For All, Extension Of Unemployment Benfits; Dem Block In House Unhappy With Prez Decision.--Stocks Expected To Open Higher After Tax Deal.
--VISA Joins PayPal In Nixing Payments To WkiLeaks; Assange Arrested In UK.

Back to More Stuff:
Frankly I just don't get Justin Bieber, US Magazine, The Jersey Shore, Gyms and Fruit.
You have to agree that this early December chill helps keep you alert and active. And the skies are clearer too.
Everybody is pretty excited about this so-called tax agreement announced by 0-man yesterday. But, in case you didn't notice, he announced it while taking unvarnished shost at Republicans. So much for chumminess. But, then this announcement benefits him greatly in his race for 2012. That is if he can overcome the noticably loud rumblings within the Dem house! You have to wonder what kind of concessions he will make to the left to keep them on his side going forward? Stay tuned. It's not a rose garden in June.
As I look around today's youth culture I'd have to say that "Cool" has become programmed blah.
I have been listening to a lot of Hayden lately. Maybe that's why I feel so lethargic.
Don't you get the feeling that just about everything is overdone any more? For instance, "Glee" spawned the pretty successful A Capella "Sing-Off" TV show last year and it worked well. But the first view this year had a tired sameness look to it. Of course, that may have been due to the fact that I was rapturously watching the Pats dismantle the J-E-T-S.
Could "Overdone" be the virus that is infecting the Martha Stewart Empire? The company lost $19 million last year and her Tv ratings are lagging. She touts her place in history, but like Chinese manufacturers, there are many copying her lost cost decorating formula. This little shows are everywhere and mesmerizing housewives with out the star power. It is just the ay it is these days.
And the drone goes on.
The Answer:
My guess for four would be Obama, Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin and , of course, Tom Brady.
The End:
I'm sure you all had better choices.
You don't have to be paranoid to cast a wary eye around you. Somebody may be sneaking up.
God Rest Ye Merry Patriots, cause next week it is "da Bears"!
