Opening Stuff:
Where did kids learn
how to ask parents while shopping the same question until they relented
and bought the candy or toy? Is it some kind of kids gene? That morphs
into the Teen gene? A gene that disappears in men over time similar to
the appendix that becomes useless, only serving to cause pain later on.
How The Media Can Ruin Your Mental Health Department:
Saturday TV news programs showed ebullient retailers shouting this was the best BF ever! And reporters echoing the insanity ahead of trampling mobs. The Sunday paper reported the statistics -- Retail sales for the BF interruption to civilized living, down 1.8% over a year ago. This basically means that people who can't read don't know the score.
As one calm, pleasant twenty something black women standing beyond the marauding mobs said in a TV news interview: "Shopping on the Internet is a helluva lot easier". CyberSales were up 26% on BF! There are a lot of conflicting statistical reports coming out of the retailers most orgasmic weekend. But the major stat which seems agreeable to all analysts is that the final sales for this Christmas season will show slower growth than the past several years. In other words, consumers shot their wad early.
The Question:
How much do you think it would cost today to pay for all of the items (364 in all) in "The Twelve days Of Christmas" song? Which 6 items have not gone up in price? (According to annual survey done by PNC.
The Headlines:
--Key Evidence In Casey Anthony Trial Overlooked; Investigators Missed Her Computer Searches For Clue Free Strangulation.
--Germany Softening on EuroDebt Resistance.
--Repubs Moving Away from "No Tax" Pledge.
--Global warming Confab Opens In Qatar.
--Syrian rebels Continue Making Slow Progress Towards Damascus.
--Israel Defense Minister Ehuh Barak Quits.
--Morsi To Meet Judges Over Power Grab.
--Spanish Election Weakens Catalan Bid For Independence.
Lower than Dirt Department:
People of rational minds are often bewildered by the incomprehensible actions of militants and suicide bombers in the Middle East. But they don't have to go that far flung destination for complete and udder aghast-itnation. Up in Canada thieves stole from the Salvation Army $2 Million worth of toys and gifts being readied for distribution to the needy. They were caught selling the items at a profit. And they weren't doing it because of religious fanaticism. They are just people who need religion to help them find their souls. I think the electric chair is a reasonable punishment.
Phrases I'd like to ban -- "With an edge", as in "Santa with an Edge" or the Nativity with an edge. Or vanilla ice cream with an edge. Me, I'll take the simple and the plain. The innately beautiful that doesn't need edginess, because it is entirely whole with it's perfect self. Edginess is for the restless, the listless, the purposeless among us. Those who view a solution to their ills changing the world around them instead of looking to courage to change themselves.
How can all of these so-called new deli's all serving Boars Head meats and assorted accoutrements differentiate themselves? The delicatessen of old used to cook much of what they offered and added their own personal recipes to tasty sides, including pickles. Your stomach would hunger after wafts of gorgeous aromas invaded your taste quadrant of your brain as you entered the door. Now that was a deli with an edge.

You have to wonder how Global
Warming scientists justify storing their research papers on "The
Cloud", which in fact is just gigantic server farms throughout the world
soaking up more high octane electricity than average cities?
There's nothing better to a Cleveland Brown's fan than a good win over Pittsburgh.
Secular Humanists are a danger to your mental health and US society at large. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. As Isaac Newton said, "For every unrelenting, uncompromising reactionary group there is an equal and opposite unrelenting, uncompromising group."
I remember Larry Hagman best as Air Force Captain Anthony Nelson in I Dream of Jeannie*. And as a guy who may have drank more than I. Or maybe it was Barbara Eden I remember most. I don't remember ever watching an episode of Dallas. But I do remember "Who shot JR".
The Answer:
The cost of sending maids a milking as well as the very expensive five golden rings is up a big 6.1% to $107,300. The items that haven't gone up in in price are Maids-a-milking, ladies dancing, lords-a-leaping, calling birds, turtle doves and the partridge.
Some retiring congress people are wondering why so few of the new breed want to compromise. Well, it's because we are learning that, for instance, a congress compromised with LBJ and we got started on the road to the Fiscal Cliff. We see that Secular Humanists and their partners at ACLU don't want to consider simple logic when arguing over Nativity Scenes that have been residing in city squares for hundreds of years. In other words people are realizing, and have ample evidence, that compormising with ideologues is a totally one sided and losing proposition. History is pretty clear that compromising ideals has led to the downfall of most once great societies.
