I’m filling up with so much Christmas spirit that I can almost wish the Republican members of the House of Representatives a Merry Christmas. They have certainly given all of us a wonderful present: a tax increase of $1000, plus delayed unemployment benefits and pissed off a lot of doctors by delaying Medicare payments in the process. I hope that smiley elf called John Boehner is kept busy chasing the recalcitrants down and working on selling the compromise extension package. What a great group of misguided non-thinkers!
Ohio State got a nice present from the N.C.A.A. in adding more scholarship losses and no bowl game in 2012. I can’t waste too many crocodile tears on them. Urban is going to have to perform a lot of Urban renewal, it would appear, especially in recruiting.
A special chorus of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” should be sung to Newt Gingrich for redefining the Palestinians as a “contrived people”. Funny, I thought they had been around a few thousand years, but what do I know?
And special kudos to Mitt Romney, the political equivalent of Fred Astaire or Bojangles Robinson---the best tap dancer on the political stage.
And maybe I should include the whole Republican candidates’ debates: wholesome entertainment for the family. It makes a great puppet show featuring Punch and Judy beating on each other in the form of Rick Parry and Ron Paul---and then using Newt as the target. Michele Bachmann makes a great Scarecrow, or is it the Wicked Witch of the West?
One thing for sure---these politicos know how to keep us on our toes or on the edge of our seats. May Santa’s reindeers crap on them on the way back to the North Pole.
Amen.
