Yay! Christmas is over! Not too bad. The only low points were 1: the obligatory Christmas kitten that the kids let out of the house an hour later, then chased out of the neighborhood before informing us that it was gone, 2: the boy-child refusing any gifts this year that did not have his name somewhere on the wrapping paper (it wouldn’t have been so bad, if only he didn’t scream so much), 3: the girl-child being jealous of everything the boy-child got, 4: the food-poisoning for the anniversary dinner on Friday night (reminder for next year — don’t go anywhere fancy), 5: the mad spending that went on, and 6: the immediate ignoring of the over-priced presents by the chilluns, who preferred the fort I made out of a couple of large cardboard boxes. Other than that, things went fairly well. As long as I am not laid off anytime soon, I should have the spending madness paid off by May. How about Yours?

WTF?
So, what the hell is bugging me today? So many things to choose from. While I try to think a bit here, one thing that made me LMAO — WTF. Okay, focus. I like kangaroos. They make great belts. And stew. Oh that’s right — I was going to complain about vehicle license fees. We’re showing greater fiscal responsibility here in California by reducing our license fees a bit, even though it completely screws things like fire and police departments. WTF!? What’s more important? — shaving a few bucks on the price of the VLF for a HumVee, or having someone to go to when it gets jacked? Okay, I could use the money I saved to buy another tank of gas. Now that’s a comfort.
Saddam
Saddam Hussein has been captured. Whoopee. I can sleep easier now knowing that America is safe once again. Oh wait — it was Osama bin Laden, not Saddam Hussein, who was in charge of the attacks on America. Saddam Hussein was a vicious, American supported dictator who rushlessly ran his country and violated U.N. sanctions. Osama bin Laden was an American-supported terrorist who was connected to the 9/11 bombings, and is still free. Well, at least we got somebody, even if there was no terrorist connection.

Reality
Another reality show series ended, and I still don’t care who won. I’ve tried to watch. Really, I have! But I just cannot seem to care. Now if we combined a few, that might be interesting. How about “Who wants to marry a leech-licking millionaire castaway survivor?”? 12 lesbian, 1 post-op trannie, and a man, stuck on an island together for 13 weeks. He gets $1 million if he marries one of them. Whomever he marries gets $1.5 million. But, he has to rely on their kindness for food and water, and they have to do exciting challenges like wrestle in vats of leeches and lime gelatin, drink freshly ground pig spleens, and put up with his stories of what a great football player he was in high-school. Now THAT I might watch.
