In today's Obamacare news, deadline to sign up for 1/1/14 benefits extended because the program is too damn popular and people always wait 'til the last minute.
Day Is Added to Deadline as Rush Hits Health Portal
And because no-one watches the Friday Jams and I don't give a damn that no-one shares my taste in music:
Fuck you you fucking source code, where is that user guide? It’s been nearly a year with this editor?
It doesn't do a thing for me, but my husband will love it. I just emailed it to him for his Christmas gift.
Fixed it for you, though it does appear you know how to do it correctly. Merry Christmas.
Very cool. I just don't watch David's stuff. I especially like that the women look as though they may have eaten something in the recent past. Merry Christmas. There. I said it. Now waiting for the anti-Christmas forces to break down my door and take me away! Still waiting. More waiting….
Don't let Krampus get you.
Fascinating. Having fun looking at historic Krampus images, now.
Germanic. Figures. Such a warm cuddly culture.
A bunch of Tannenbaum huggers.
Christmas customs, figures and symbols sure have evolved over the years with apologies to those for whom evolution is a dirty word, such as all GOTP candidates for anything and everything. On second thought... no apologies and a very happy whatever you celebrate and however you celebrate it to all.
Well, I certainly enjoyed that one better than "Get Lucky." Sexier, dare I say.
As far as Friday Jams goes, I wouldn't cry if it was discontinued in 2014. Although for me, sometimes a song can serve as a better commentary on the week, or a situation, than writing something out. That's why I like it — and it's why I'll continue to post songs here and there, even if Jams is disontinued, just as I did before Jams was created. I also like learning what other people are listening to, even if I don't always like the music — just as I don't expect others to like what I like. That said, worthy discoveries have come my way because of it.
So, easy come, easy go, like a first snowfall…
Seems likely to me that Mr. Soros, too, has grown tired of Friday Jams . . .
. . . otherwise he would have ordered his minions here to release that site users guide they've been camping on all year??!!??
From my Family to all of you and yours==Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and hopefully a great New Year.
Happy new year to everybody!
An awesome Christmas music video (Russian pop of course). Nothing says Christmas music like dancing reindeer.
Here's something a little more traditional, at least if you're from Southern Italy. The bagpipe is called a Zampogna and the little woodwind is a Ciaramella. It's traditional for the Zampognari to come down from the hills where they tend sheep and serenade the villagers at Christmas time.
Lovely!
My contribution to the Christmas songfest. Be merry, people, or Santa'll know the reason why!

Flash mob performs "Help!" at Lucky's Market in Longmont as part of a fundraiser for the OUR center (chariity for local families). I was looking for something heartwarming and Christmas-ish, could only find the Pee Wee Herman Christmas special, not sure if I wanted to inflict that on you (although your kids and grandkids would like it, and those of us still eight years old at heart).
Loved PeeWee. It was the best thing to watch with my now almost 31 year old son back in the day. Thank God he was too old for kids' shows when that purple dinosaur showed up. Or teletubbies or whatever they were called. The ones that had Pat Robertson in an uproar because one of them was male and carried a purse or something.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.
PS: Very sweet.
That was cool…
PeeWee was a "don't miss" with my daughter and me, along with "The Adventures of Pete and Pete."
Loved that one, too. Love Canadian humor in general.
It's heartwarming in its own way to see how many people know and remember the lyrics to a song now close to 50 years old.
Best of the season to everyone.
Happy Holidays to everyone and a Happy New Year.
Right back at you, favorite Republican ever!
Two Christmas stories in today's New York Times:
The first, a bit of an old-as-time Dickensian tale, bout a naughty little boy who never learned the true meaning of Christmas:

The second, a slightly more modern guide of how to holiday survival:

Merry Christmas ever one . . .
. . . and, remember, you're probably too old to be wearing cargo shorts!!!
Merry Christmas everyone! In my family this shall be known as "The Dollar Store Christmas" — you can imagine why.
All I really want is for Dems to start, God Help Us, acting like Harry Truman, Elizabeth Warren, et al……..and put the kibosh on our Sociopathic Enemies on the Right (sic).
And no, BOTH SIDES DON'T DO IT, Senator Bennet. That is a cowardly cop out on your part that let's them off with even more mischief:
Here's a decent definition of Sociopathy from wiki, with items bolded that fit our Republican/Tea Party brethren to a 't':
A) There is a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others occurring since age 15 years, as indicated by three or more of the following::
Here's a little video that puts the lie to all this "President Obama should be more forthcoming with Republicans" bullshit. And it is bullshit.
They hate Obama, they hate us, and they hate the Middle and Working and Poor Classes.

This is important, people.

Meh . . . all I need to flavor up my pho are a couple of good shots of fracking fluid . . .
Signed.
Signed for this spicy cause.
Never had a problem with it. Happy to sign.
Jingle balls…er, bells. Who says that there's a war on Christmas? KMart got lots of twitter reaction from this commercial, which I guess was the idea.
So Fox is upset about saying Happy Holidays but this must be their idea of the true spirit of Christian Christmas because I haven't heard any complaints from them.
Every life matters . . .

More "War on Christmas" nonsense, from Rep. Lamborn, by Agence France Presse – (found in Huffington Post) Doug Lamborn cosponsored a nonbinding resolution against the "War on Christmas." Is this the most work he's done all year?
Any private person can say Merry Christmas as a private person all they want. Nobody is arresting people on the street for saying Merry Christmas. Or in malls. or to their friends at school. Or anywhere. I'm Jewish and when nice people say Merry Christmas to me I say it back. So far I haven't been fined or anything.
If businesses prefer to be inclusive and go with "Holidays" that's their customer relations decision. It's not imposed by the government. If government institutions choose to put the fig leaf of a more inclusive term over their obvious non-constitutional endorsement of Christianity by celebrating Christmas and calling it the generic "Holiday"s, Christians are still getting preference they shouldn't over any other religion and most of us nons choose not to make the fuss over it we actually have every right to make. Most don't care to be grinches to the gentiles, bless their hearts.
All I want for Solstice is for selfish spoiled brats like Lamborn to stop whining. It's an official government holiday that has no right to be. What more do they want?
For everyone to be like them — White, bigoted and Republican?
Apparently. Let's hope the present they get for Christmas is a clue. See you guys again on Thursday.
I wish all of you and yours the best of this Holy and Happy Season. May Peace come to this battered old world of ours.
Bah humbug! Just say no to Jesus.
Why? I mean, I'm a Pagan, myself, but he seems like he was a pretty decent dude, from what I've read about him…
I am conflicted about the Christmas Holiday for a zillion reasons.
But I like well executed choral music. (mathematica)

This is a "homemade" Christmas, so I've been baking and wrapping all day. I love it, though. So I'm a lapsed Pagan ethnic Jew brought up as an Episcopal alien, who thinks Jesus had some genius ideas for escaping the revenge spiral, and who loves any excuse for gifting, cooking, and hanging out with my weird family.
Happy whatever however you celebrate, everyone!
Hope everyone had a Good Solstice, and a happy Channukah, and have a Merry Christmas tomorrow. Yes, I now what time it is. Our Christmas Eve Chosen Famly party just broke up. As my wife says, "It's not tomorrow until one of two things happens: you've gone to bed and arisen or the sun comes up.
Oops. "know". See? It's past my bedtime.
Was that THE Jason Salzman pictured in Tuesday's Denver Post…out shopping?
