Althouse's Post on christmas got me to listening to christmas music while I work, and I've come up with the ten worst:
01) Rudolph the Rednose Raindeer 02) Santa Claus is coming to town 03) Walking in a winter wonderland 04) Here comes Santa Claus 05) Little Drummer Boy 06) Home for the Holidays 07) Frosty the Snowman 08) Santa Baby 09) All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth 10) Pretty much anything written after 1980
Some of the more commerical ones are OK if I didn't hear them too often. Chickmunks, I saw mommy kissing santa claus, or Jingle Bell. Even "Grandma Got run over by a reindeer" is tolerable if only heard once per Christmas season.
When i use goggle map it says, "you have arrived", and i usually respond in the form of a question- 'I have?' (some would say 'like a bitch') Then I rode with my little sis to Florida from Georgia, and she has something in her GPS called 'master chief'. It warns her when there's police ahead and after every warning she responded, "thank you master chief". We're so ready to be taken over.
Kim Kardashian passed the "Baby Bar Exam" in California. What's a "baby bar exam"?
From the story: "Kardashian is taking a non-traditional route to become an admitted attorney. (I know because I took the regular path of going to law school, passing a bar exam, and getting sworn in as an attorney earlier this year.) The social media star is taking advantage of an option in California that allows students to sit for the state bar exam after a period of study in a law office or judge's chamber. (Along with Virginia, Vermont, and Washington, California is one of only four states that allows students to study law through an apprenticeship instead of attending law school.)"
West TX Intermediate Crude said... If we don't do something about Climate Change right now, almost 8 billion people now alive will be dead by the end of this century.
YES! If we don't Do SOMETHING SOON! NEARLY EVERY SINGLE PERSON LIVING TODAY, WILL BE DEAD IN 100 years! Wake UP Sheeple!!! Climate Change is Going To Make You DEAD! (and so is COVID!!)
>>Althouse's Post on christmas got me to listening to christmas music while I work, and I've come up with the ten worst:
My favorite Christmas music, because I'm just that twisted: the Dropkick Murphy's "The Season's upon Us." Too lazy/ignorant to post a link, but you can easily find it on Youtube or whatever. And their "Tessie" is a Fenway classic.
I'm a Chicago chauvinist because I grew up on the South Side of Chicago and, if you're from Chicago, well, you're from Chicago. But I've been living in the Boston area (i.e., Boston plus that place on the other side of the river that somebody here likes to tout, like it's Paris or something) for over fifty years. And I've been living in the Fenway for over forty years. So I think I can identify with the DK M's. Who, in this case, are not all that unrecognizable.
I've been revising my opinion of Kamala Harris as I look at the recent gusher of videos showing her promoting electric cars and so on. Suddenly I saw that she regarded all these photo-ops just as I do - silly, boring and pompous. But she can't say it or show it. She accepted being VP and now she's trapped - only now and then she emits a crazy laugh, her only real comment on her own situation. Our leaders: one's senile and the other is paying no real attention. I guess the DNC knows now why people say: "Be careful what you wish for, you might get it."
Lem, Abe Lincoln and almost every American lawyer up until about 1900 or 1910 apprenticed in a lawyer's office. There were very few law schools. I'm not sure when bar exams became common.
Just a historical note. No comment on California Kim.
The Seattle Times has raised their quarterly subscription rate from $189 to $217. The cost of our lunches from our favorite Teriyaki place is also up 25%. Thanks, Joe, Maria Cantwell, Patty Murray and Adam Smith. They think they can spend anything and not affect folks well being. Government is the answer. NOT.
“While the 36mm Day-Date feels like a sort of neutron star of Day-Date-ness – with so much of what is essential about the Day-Date packed into it that any more would make it collapse into a kind of luxury singularity – the 40mm seems almost too big to be believed.”
I just picked up another 1803 (with a linen dial and box/papers) for peanuts (it was in the fifteens, but I also see others that are still available, even down in the 13s (there’s one at Crown and Caliber*)). Preppers don’t need more freeze-dried food and bullets, they need solid gold Presidentials. That will work anytime, anywhere!
And if the shit doesn’t hit the fan, you can walk around and look like a prick for a lot less than is costs to buy a good Porsche. [FTR, the joke re the difference between a porcupine and a 911 driver being that re the 911 driver the pricks are on the inside, is not fair: 911’s are amazing, not all the drivers are pricks, some of us just like the experience of the cars. Not to mention that I don’t think that that prick association is felt re the general public for the long-hood 911’s (i.e. the early ones w/ lots of brightwork), it seems that driving those is sorta like driving a squished bug, everyone loves you, as best as I can tell, IMHO.]
Anywho, many, many years ago I told Althouse to buy Meade a particular affordable-ish Patek that is now 2.5x more valuable.
Today I’m saying ‘I told ya so’ re the Patek. Years from know I may be all full of myself re folks ignoring my tip re the gold 1803s.
Time will tell.
P.S. there’s time to get the C&C watch before Xmas for Meade. He’d be so stoked. Plus it’s not much more than double the scrap price re gold. Never mind that it’s an F-ing Rolex Presidential! Anywho, If I wasn’t such a dork re particularities (or if I was poorer), I’d snatch it up and give it to one of my kids. My loss is yur gain.
Have I ever said I hate touch pads? I just worked on a comment- and waving my hands over the touchpad shut down chrome... I've deactivated it numerous times- but it comes back automatically after a while. I hate touchpads.
Anyway... Dr. Fauci opens up the possibility that the COVID-19 vaccine could be making people more likely to be infected by the virus.
"This would not be the first time, if it happened, that a vaccine that looked good in initial safety actually made people worse."
From a thread by The Vigilant Fox which I found from a link from Vox Populi. VEI- Vaccine Enhanced Infection. Vox has been talking about it since the beginning of the covidiocy. He's not the only one- Alex Berenson has been right on it. Now Fraudci is talking about it. It's coming out- the vaccines were a bad idea.
What else is going on? There's a list going around of people, well, soccer players, worldwide, who have dropped dead on the pitch. Double vaxxed world class athletes in the prime of their life who have dropped dead of heart problems. But we haven't seen American athletes in those numbers dropping dead. Alex Berenson's full explanation is behind a paywall. But there's enough there, combined with other sources, to explain why. He states 300 NBA players, who move around the court almost as strenuously as soccer players. Just under 3,000 NFL players. Over 42,000 soccer teams registered in England. 42,000 teams, not people. In just England. About 1 in 2,000 males after the second jab suffer myocarditis or pericarditis. We've had a very few reports of the same among about 4,000 pro players in the USA. Hundreds of soccer players, playing soccer in the prime of their life. Which looking at numbers, makes sense. With a lot more soccer players, there's going to be a lot more to report if a vaccine induced heart attack takes place. This is likely occurring because the jabs cause the body to make spike proteins- a known pathogen. Which cause damage to the vascular system. Again- this was foreseen by vaccine skeptics at the very beginning of vaccine deployment.
And what else do we know? About 14 people died aboard the Diamond Princess. About 2% of the people infected. ARAIK- all of them elderly passengers. Cruise ships have a much larger percentage of elderly than the general population. So what was the big news, reported by the media and trumpeted by virtually every government in the world? Everyone was going to get this virus because it was so incredible virulent, and 2% of us were going to die. Die! they said, Die!. About 700 of 3700 aboard the Diamond Princess came down with it. Ships are ideal for spreading airborne viruses. Only 700 of 3700 were infected.
Then there's the USS Theodore Roosevelt. About 5,000 people on board. About 1,000 were infected . 1 whole entire person died. Over 40 years old. The Navy has been completely silent on any comorbidities he may have had. The official pictures of the deceased, to be honest, doesn't show someone who meets the office BMI standards for the armed forces. Having spent 21 years on active duty, I know standards are fudged for favorites... 1 of 1,000. A 0.1% death rate. For the under 40 the real death rate is lower than this. For the under 40 without comorbidities, even less. The 2% death rate for everyone was a lie, a deliberate lie, spread by governments, with the willing assistance of the media. Will you forgive them for that? I won't.
There's a lot more that could be said. but that's a good start.

It is obviously time to quit supporting the dying newspaper trade - always a day late and a dollar short.
As for the rising cost of lunches in Seattle, welcome to the highest minimum wage - headed for $17.27 per hour in 2022. Most states still pay the Federal minimum which is $7.25/hour. I think we probably should be blaming Working Washington for instigating the huge increase in restaurant prices - not someone named Joe.
"Seattle's minimum wage is the highest in the nation, and our local economy is thriving because of it. It's just common sense: when more people are making more money, that means more customers for more businesses —including restaurants. Higher wages are what drives our economy forward, and that's exactly what we're seeing happen here in Seattle," a Working Washington spokesperson said in a statement.
Mike: Do overgenerous customers continue to give servers 20% tips on the entire meal ticket? Fixed income old folks may now be eating cheese and crackers at home.
SF Mayor LondonBreed has literally just called bullshit on progressive criminal justice reformers
“It is time for the reign of criminals to end. It comes to an end when are more aggressive with law enforcement & less tolerant of all the BULLSHIT that has destroyed our city”
Dems know crime is killing them in the polls but are only beginning to realize media propaganda has limits…and/or the ignorant are realizing they can’t smell bullshit…
The left has their abortion rights thing to motivate their people to fill out ballots. Republicans have Liz Cheney. I think that’s why they let her talk…

I don't know about the worst, but Eartha Kitt's Santa Baby has to be among the less family friendly. It sounds like the audio version of an old style Playboy Christmas cartoon. The fact that Kitt has one of the sexiest voices (outside of my wife) in all creation doesn't help.

Have you seen anybody wearing Build Back Better hats?
Sometime back if memory serves, we were talking about putting what one might think of as "first floor rooms" up on the 2nd or 3rd floor.
What the super rich want from a new home - and it's not a penthouse view.
The Telegraph weighs in on that. "Once a symbol of wealth and success, the top floor is now being seen as too risky and flash."
"Have you seen anybody wearing Build Back Better hats?"
Well... people might, if they didn't cost a couple of billion dollars each.
