2014, the year the Clintons will start to use (abuse) Obama to (a) triangulate Hill back to the center, and (b) pay him back for his disrespect in 2008.

As 2013 peters out the most noticeable thing among our circle of friends is that Thanksgiving and Christmas have worn us out for the Grandchildren and Grandparents events.

Each generation wants to spend New Years Eve among their own age group this year. Several couples in their 50s and 60s are going to go out to eat early (designated driver designated) and come home to watch Global TV images. I always liked Australian fireworks.

We could have gone downtown to watch Johnny Manziel's balls drop about midnight, but all tickets were sold out.

The weekend of January 18-21 is our next family centered event for grandchildren. That three day weekend honors an Atlantan who was good at making speeches that made a difference among those with good hearts.

I may get up to record the midnight rural Ohio gunfire, which is traditional.

If Barack Obama had a son, he'd look like Kieran Romney.

But no one would be allowed to make jokes about him.

Wait till the sun shines Nellie
And the clouds go drifting by
We will be happy Nellie
Don't you cry

Down lover's lane we'll wander
Sweetheart you & I
Wait till the sun shines Nellie
By and by

We were in Times Square last night.

Really.

Already THOUSANDS of people mulling around.

This year a bunch of blind people actually realized that Zero is lying liar. Con man. Not news here.

Oops, I forgot to buy light bulbs. I got a new health insurance policy on Dec 1, so I'm safe from Obamacare for another 11 months.

Gunfire common in Richmond, VA, too...not something I'm used to yet

@Sorun: Stocked up on 60 W (have almost one hundred now) and 40 W globe bulbs my wife needs for her vanity.

I'm looking for a 60 year old water heater so I can really stick it to Al Gore. The more inefficient the better. Suck it, libtards!

Fandor said...

Happy New Year, Ann and Meade. Here's wishing you and yours all the best in 2014.

In the 1980s out there in Northern California, the Mexicans shot pistols in the air to celebrate the new year. They observed that the bulkets went into outer space.

Gravity prevails as our president is learning.

All the best and happy new year.

nina said...

Stay happy and healthy. Both of you!

What do Althousers think about young ladies who wear yoga pants/tights tight enough to outline their Mountain of Venus and the cleft therein?

Scroll down to the second photo in the above caption, "Weight conscious: Jonas has been ..." to see the girl's cooch outlined.

I've been seeing similar sights gratis and unsolicited at a gym here in Nashville.

Is this too much, or not enough?

Kudos to Jane Lynch (Hollywood lesbian) for saying Phil Robertson shouldn't have been suspended and that she's a "first amendment girl."

Coming home we passed a Truetts Chik Fil A with a large crowd and outdoor light towers. They were doing a "Nugget a Drop" and had a 3X4 foot nuggets hanging from a crane ready to drop at mid night.

The Cathy boys are really good at promoting the business.

Johnny did it again!

Angie's overcome the Dukies in a shoot out for Chik Fil A.

Aggies. Damn auto fill.

Manszel is amazing. And he is genuine no matter how many are jealous of the man.

Big Mike said...

Happy New Year to Althouse and Meade!

Freeman Hunt said...

Did sparklers and streamers with the kids to Auld Lang Syne around 7:00. Going to bed now. Husband and I will say we celebrated with the east coast.

Meade and I didn't even make it to east-coast New Year's celebrating. As a consequence, I'm enjoying some beautiful hours of morning darkness on the strength of a full night's sleep.

@sunsong I may have deleted a double post of yours when you were deleting the other of the 2, so that both got deleted. If so, it wasn't about the content. Sorry.
