Okay so I was accused of putting a damper on everybody's Christmas by posting about so many unsavory people. Is this better?
But hey, you can't please everybody!

Now that's a beautiful tree, and a couple who dressed beautifully to honor the holiday. Happy Holidays (thank you, Sarah Palin, for making that my go-to-expression).
ReplyDeleteIt's very nice, but hey I wasn't complaining. I consider your blog today an oasis from all the sap just outside, and a number of inescapable posters on Facebook who, under the guise of a holiday, are really just trumpeting their proud subservience to consumerism.
ReplyDeleteFor those who want more, dailykos is running a nice series on "The Year In Crazy," and you can read entries up to June, so far.
Good way to end the day! Thanks. They are so beautiful in every way.
ReplyDeleteI know they're a fake couple, but thats a good picture.
Delete6:26, we're all "fake couples", think about it.
DeleteFake couple? He's not a trial husband. They wear their wedding rings. They are involved in their kids lives. Someone is jealous.
Delete@6:26, if you honestly think that they're not really in love, I feel bad for you. You probably have some kind of disorder where you can't read people and probably have asperger's.

Actually, you don't know a damn thing about them if you can say something that stupid. Your nasty, bitter, hateful jealousy of the Obama family is so pathetic. What a stunted, miserable life you must have to invest so much in convincing yourself that that the Obamas have a life as empty as yours.
Just stunning! Happy New Year to our awesome First Family!

My sentiment entirely!
DeleteGryphen, you need some charity in your life. Go volunteer like Sarah as family.
ReplyDeleteYour English is worse than that of an immigrant.
DeleteGo back to elementary school and learn some proper English first. Maybe THEN we will be able to interpret your gibberish.
Sarah as family? Don't you proofread before hitting "publish"? Gryphen seems to have clarity in his life, which is more than I can say for 6.27. At least she has her consultant's pay.
DeleteVolunteer?!? The Palins?!? The "What's in it for us" tribe?!? HAHAHAHA
DeleteUplift? William Rivers Pitt has what you need today:

WTF? Uplifting? The poor girl DIED. How uplifting is THAT for god's sake? She DIED on Christmas! HOW is that uplifting again? I'm sure her parents wouldn't describe it that way. Clearly, you know NOTHING about losing a child.
DeleteWhat is wrong with people these days? Geeze.
A girl beyond what help known medical science could do had a last wish and several selfless thousands heard it and responded. Doctors, well before, had doubtlessly warned her parents of the heartbreak ahead, but it was a pain at least fractionally ameliorated by such a display of how people can be moved to care, without asking 'what's in it for us?' Are we not wanting for a little more of that?
DeleteThank you for putting up this lovely photo of President and Mrs. Obama! Lovely couple and DELIGHTED they are in the White House for their second term.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Gorgeous tree too!
I totally agree! What a lovely and classy couple!
DeleteBeautiful! No wonder the right-wingers are livid. They're jealous and even more jealous and livid is that Palin woman.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas =)
ReplyDeleteYou always add a little smile to my face daily. Keep up the good work.
Gypsy
I like it!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture and our President and First Lady. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOMG is she preggers? She looks great, they both do, but what's up with the bump?
ReplyDeleteShe's not pregnant. She's not wearing a scarf.
DeleteGreat response to a Palin woman, any of 'em, all of 'em at 7:35.
Deletedowl
She's 47...I kinda doubt she's pregnant.
DeleteGorgeous couple! Thanks Gryphen. Hope you and your daughter had a wonderful Christmas day.
ReplyDeletemakes me wanna peel a grape

...been listening to Diana Krall? Sounds good! We could do worse...
DeleteAfter reading this advice above, Illegitimi Non Carborundum seems to be my thought for the day!
She can't be a christian if she's not wearing a red dress with a neon cross around her neck.
ReplyDeleteOhio teacher tells African-American student: ‘We do not need another black president’
ReplyDeleteA teacher in Ohio was suspended this week for allegedly telling an ambitious young African-American student that the country does “not need another black president.”
According to The Cincinnati Enquirer, Gil Voigt was suspended without pay from Fairfield Freshman School on Monday, the first step necessary for termination. The teacher has 10 days to ask to for a hearing before the school board or a referee.
Superintendent Paul Otten told the Journal-News that the incident occurred while Voigt was speaking to an African-American student who had presidential aspirations.
“We do not need another black president,” Voigt reportedly said.
“He was talking to some students and said some things that were racially insensitive,” Fairfield City Schools Board President Dan Murray explained. “We take diversity in our school district very seriously with tolerance of people who are different. We just felt this teacher had crossed the line.”
Voigt has also received four other reprimands in recent years, including one for an “inappropriate racial comment” in 2008.
The 13-year Freshman School teacher makes a salary of $73,566, which is over $33,000 more than the average Ohio public school employee.
“Obviously we’re very disheartened to have this situation with any of our staff members,” Otten admitted. “It’s not something we’re proud of, and it’s something we must not tolerate.”

Good. It's nice to see some action taken to shut down racist idiots like this.
Our 'black' president is the best president in my lifetime and I'm no young filly, that's for sure. President Obama, our mixed race president is a man to be supremely proud of, and I am.
I LOVE our First Couple. They are so dignified, loving, graceful and gracious. The class they ooze is so palpable and makes me deeply proud of them both.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this, it was a lovely Christmas tribute.
O/T, but heartwarming: Tripp got to spend Christmas with his dad and sister and his step-mom! (Picture up on Sunny's FB page.)

MUCH BETTER !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of the President and Mrs. Obama. How fortunate we are to have them in the White House.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
What a stunningly beautiful couple! Class, Grace, Elegance, Humility, no hate, no anger, just love for humanity.
ReplyDeleteAnd the simple greeting "Merry Christmas" seems to have offended some people.... hmm I wonder why?
Had to laugh at a few of the comments, as if they have anything that even comes close!
