Happy birthday! Lots of wonderful time spent here, some of it wasted. I've been here about 10 though used to have a different name
Another chance to reminisce about how old I really am.
But so very wise…
I do not even remember what my first user name was back then.
Happy Birthday Govs
Happy Birthday, Pols…Still, after all these years, its hard for me to get through a day without coming here to see what is going on…
Thanks for not running me off all this time…
and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to the lot of ya' !

I spend way too much time here, but always find new information, small ways to affect the status quo, a congenial if slightly cantankerous community, and an opportunity to test my ideas and writing. Happy 11th birthday, and thanks for the space to do all that.
Cantankerous? How can you say that?
Oh, and by the way, get off my lawn.
Oh and Happy Birthday to my favorite spot in the world wide web. Thanks, Pols, for all that you do.
Happy Birthday Colorado Pols. I look forward to many truthful and spirited debates about the proper course for our country.
"Close to Christmas. Was that hard?". George Bluth, Arrested Development.
Love you, Pols!
And in honor of the birthday everything actually seems to be working pretty well lately!
Maybe some of the old timers (Gecko, Moonraker, Lamborn Has God-Like Qualities) will return for the celebration.
On that same day an earthquake measuring 8.1 hit Macquarie Island. Coincidence? What else could explain Benghazi?!? Happy Birthday Pols – and best wishes of the season to all of you!
Back at you, Michael…
And all the best to you, Michael. Also…. Merry Christmas. There. I said it. The storm troopers waging the government's War on Christmas should be showing up to take me away any minute now. Farewell!
Oh wait. I guess Christmas must have won what with the paper saying NORAD is tracking Santa just as usual. Thank the force, I won't be torn from my family and friends after all!
Maybe we should have a new holiday celebrating the Miracle of the Survival of Christmas. Kind of like Hanukkah and Passover and Purim which fall under the ever popular Jewish holiday and/or festival category of the theme…. They tried to kill us. We survived. There's even a T-shirt.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year too, just to cover all the bases.
The "war on Christmas" is in the same league as the mythical "Bring back the pledge of allegiance". Public school kids in Colorado say the Pledge every morning, and Christmas is omnipresent this time of year, impossible to escape if one wants to. I'm going to travel over the river and through the woods to spend time with my family, for some feasting, fellowship, and gifting. Christmas is a great excuse for all of that.
The War on Christmas, I think was a creation of Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, who needed something to feel victimized about.
The greeting of "Happy Holidays" makes it more inclusive for everyone else. Somehow inclusivity became a bad thing. Most of these holidays are based on natural phenomena like the Solstice, and the turning of the seasons, anyway, and I suppose that's way too reality-based for many.
So Happy Holidays to all! Enjoy the feasting, the fun, the fellowship, in whatever company you find yourselves.
And closer to home we have the utterly laughable, manufactured 'War on Rural Colorado'. The righties can't seem to function without the presence of an imaginary enemy under every rock.
For all the frightened little Republican Jesus soldiers still hiding under their bed over the Syrian refugee
crisisopportunity, here's a little something for you to ponder as you gather around your tables of abundance during this season of giving and profess the message of the Christ-child...For the rest of you, I wish you the best and look forward to our continuing dialogue in 2016!
