We all have a song or two that tells us the holidays are upon us. There’s one song that triggers it for me: “The Christmas Song”, by Nat King Cole.
And I heard it today, at lunch with Jon Jorgenson.
Merry Christmas! PAR-TAY!

Or perhaps this should be aptly titled “How to wreck your career in one night”
Remember my little rant “The Rat Bastard Factor“?
Well, the tale gets better…
Pazuhanich Charged With Indecent Assault
“Charges have been filed against Monroe County District Attorney Mark Pazuhanich. Now police have issued a warrant for his arrest… Pazuhanich is now charged with four counts, including indecent assault, putting a child in danger and corruption of a minor. ”
In laymen’s terms: He allegedly fondled his own daughter, and was seen by a security guard and a concerned mother, doing it at the Hilary Duff concert last Saturday in Wilkes Barre.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen… welcome to my world.
Only in the Poconos can you get a District Attorney, who was best known for:

1. Lady in the row in front of us: No offense, but HOLY SHIT you have the ugliest friggin’ kid I’ve ever seen IN MY LIFE! I’m sorry. I don’t mean to be cruel… but damn! All I wanted to do was toss him a banana and see if this infant can peel it with his feet.
2. Music teachers: Please understand that I have the world of respect for teachers. Especially music teachers. I have no patience. Any one I tried to teach guitar, it usually ends in 15 minutes, as they form a “C” chord wrong and the screaming begins, followed by six weeks of therapy for the poor kid.

It states, quite clearly, in the Internet Superhero Code of Ethics & Conduct, section four, subsection 16D:
“Members are strictly forbidden to mock, laugh, gloat, or otherwise partake in joyous behavior at the misery of a nemesis found in a twisted situation of extreme karmic proportions.”

Chicken Hawk Down – By Tom Tomorrow
Hee hee haw haw HAAAAAAA!!!!
*falls off chair*
(I’m ok.)
It seemed to have caused a stir a week or two back. (I’m late for the party again, what else is new. But Tom Tomorrow nailed in six panels what I have been trying to say for over a year.).

Quite frankly, I always seem to miss “World AIDS day” every year. Not that I think AIDS awareness is unimportant (quite the contrary). It just seemed so “trendy” and “the thing to do” with bloggers back then. Now that the posts have dwindled down on the web… I think I can be my usual “untrendy” self and make a mention as the message of awareness and debunking the myths and stigmas needs to be circulated.

An interesting article caught my eye tonight:
Billy the Kid gets a lawyer – 122 years after shootout, attorney to gather information for a pardon
Well, like any good Generation X’er, of COURSE I saw Young Guns I & II. They rocked! What was unknown to me, until this article, that there’s been this heated debate down in New Mexico since the summer to exhume his remains (as well as his mother’s) for DNA testing to determine if he was indeed William H. Bonney and gunned down by Pat Garrett as legend claims.
Among the many people vehemently opposed to this is the Billy The Kid Historic Preservation Society.
We all love a good “anti-hero”. We love it even more when they get away and thumb their nose at society and go to that la-la land where we sent Elvis, Bruce Lee, Jim Morrison and every other legend when we can’t accept their deaths.

One thing I really pride myself on, in the fact that I’ve gotten smacked down by both sides of the political spectrum.
Bleeding Heart Liberals make me puke.
Brownshirt Neo Conservatives make me laugh.
To me, they’re both the same. They’re unrealistically extreme. Detatched FROM any form of reality that I know of. They want to hang a label on you if you disagree with them. They hang on their party’s core beliefs even when it’s clear as day that they’re wrong in a particular issue.
They try to silence you rather than address the issue you brought up.
I’ve heard arguments that the President is not to blame for the current economic conditions, yet we all can look on the Carter years with disgust for the same reasons.
Can’t we all just agree that some people just sucked as Presidents?
I liked Reagan *AND* I liked Clinton. I believe a large portion of their success was the fact that they had a legistlative branch which was dominated by a different party to answer to.
Balance, people.
Do you see the point I’m driving at?

While it’s largely a American holiday filled with pecan pie, turkey, stuffing, pecan pie, MACY*S parade, ushering in Santa Claus and of course… pecan pie.
I still want to wish all of my good friends around the world a great day, with good food, friends and family. Take the time out to appreciate and give thanks for what you have, rather than what focus on what you don’t have.
You’re more blessed than you realize.
