Thanks. Thanks a lot, you gutless clueless corrupt morons.
From CNN at 11:40PM:
Washington (CNN) — Senate Democrats braved the aftermath of a blizzard Sunday to continue their push to pass a sweeping health care bill before Christmas.
Right. They were standing in the snow, shivering, while the Republicans kept the doors shut. Phew.

Moe, Santa, Larry, Santa and Curly.
This is the greatest Christmas display we’ve seen in at least 12 months. Two Santas and the 3 Wise Guys, and they’re all life-size, too. Pure efficient genius. (I know where I’m gonna go busking.)
Curly, Larry and Moe.
Curly, Larry and Moe.
Curly, Moe and Larry. Some folks display the 3 Wiseguys year round, just like God intended.

Bunky just can’t get into the Christmas Spirit until he hears the Ronettes’ version of “Sleigh Ride.”
Unfortunately, the best vids of that song have been pulled, and we just can’t bring ourselves to post a video of a vinyl record spinning on a turntable, or worse, a picture of an album cover (losers). BUT, we’re certainly willing to post THIS version. Screw the copyright Scrooges.
So here’s a compromise, a Christmas song with Darlene Love, backed by the E-Street Band (with video splices from, um, “Home Alone“).
“Each AK-47 Paper Model Kit comes with all the materials and instructions to construct this amazingly life-like paper model of an AK-47.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a very detailed project, requiring some attention to detail and time.”
Paint it flat black and it’ll get you arrested in the daytime. At night, unarmed intruders will soil their chonies when they see the business end pointed in their direction. As for armed intruders, it’s kind of a death sentence… for you. It’s still cool, though, cuz u kn poze n stuf wit ur blng.

I’d love to see her gift list. I just hope they fit.
This picture reminds me of a classic Steve Goodman song, cowritten with Shel Silverstein: “3-Legged Man.”

Skuuvuunuum LORBO indeed. If this doesn’t make you want to see Avatar, nothing will.

The Maccabees put a video of the winner of the 2007 Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling to music. Who woulda guessed. (Bunkarina suggested this one.)
So just for the heck of it, I click the Utoobage and start typing b, u, n, k… and up pops Bunkface. (I’ve been called worse.)
You’d not believe how difficult it is to come up with the correct video links for rain. “Rain Rain Rain” doesn’t even come up on the search mojo; The Videos’ “Trickle Trickle” is a no show also. Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow held possibilities. Or I could link to It’s a Beautiful Day’s self-indulgent “White Bird (in a golden cage in the rain).” Ugh. I couldn’t bring myself to post a Melanie vid either, so while I’m hunting, try this.
The Ronettes’ “Walking in the Rain” is THE best rain song ever.
