And For Our Next Number, Deck Us All With Boston Charlie…

Because of: (AP) Bush: Iraq Invasion My Responsibility, Our Not-Me President thinks he has owned up for his part in the Iraq fiasco. Of course, he still blames the “faulty intelligence,” which of course was faulty precisely because HIS team screwed it. Taking responsibility isn’t saying words, Georgie Porgie, it’s acting like a man and so far, you haven’t done that once.

In the meantime, Bush finally agreed with McCain to disallow torture. Rummy and Dickless will weasel their way around it…would YOU trust these guys on a handshake? Remember what kind of campaign Bush ran against you, John, after promising a clean fight. And the people who promised us the Patriot Act wouldn’t ever be abused had authorized the NSA to carry out spying within US borders without warrants. And New Orleans is still waiting for some REAL reconstruction

OK, that’s it for this year. It was long and hard with much going on in my real life besides here, but it was worth it. Fred and Bert and I will be taking off until January 9 so we can work on some improvements that have been put off for a long long time. Fred, Bert, Randy, Priss and I hope y’all have a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, ummm good Kwanzaa, sated Saturnalia, Wassail all you yuletiders, AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

ONE LAST THING…if you can’t read my Olde English calligraphy, click on the comments link and you can see the lyrics to Good King Georgie over there.

But Can She Flirt With The Clients While They’re Waiting?

Honda Robot Serves Tea, Pushes Mail Carts and joins the ranks of Sora and other robotic receptionists…oh, brave new world!

Oh and in case you think receptionists aren’t still getting the old run-around-the-desk routine: “Just say it was consensual.” (CourtTV) Receptionist sues boss for allegedly masturbating on her

Getting ready for the last issue before my Christmas break–oops, I meant winter holiday break…Can’t look like I’m knuckling under the Bull O’Reilly pressure to put Christ back in Christmas that seems to be afflicting the airwaves. I happen to like Christmas, btw, but some quasi-Christians of the ill-tempered, offensive and intolerant persuasion seem to be intent on giving it a bad name by forcing it down people’s throats. “What could be offensive about Merry Christmas?” Bill asks. Just the ATTITUDE of the person saying it…Like Georgie celebrating Chanukah half a month too early so it won’t interfere with the CHRISTMAS celebration 😉

Where appropriate, the United States seeks assurances that transferred persons will not be tortured; where it’s not appropriate, we’ll just look the other way…

(AFP) Rice stands firm in secret prison controversy

Her ability to speak the truth plainly has gotten so bad, I’d wonder if she could even play the piano, if she hadn’t done it publicly with Yo-Yo Ma…

Have you ever wondered about an administration being such sticklers about civility and appropriateness…of OTHER people’s actions?
