If you accidentally forgot to spend a few dollars on gifts for loved ones, please feel free to donate a few of them to your friendly neighborhood BRAD BLOG. We could use the help, as I have been woefully delinquent at fund raising over the past many months.
DONATE HERE or really help my holidays be merrier by signing up for a monthly subscription, of any amount, by using the blue form on the right of this page.
Beyond that, consider this an Open Thread for the stragglers who haven’t scrammed (I would be one of them, even as I’ve been busy with all manners of things all day which have kept me from blogging as I had hoped).
Seasons Greetings From Sacxtra!
DEMAND National paper ballots and hand counts in 2007.

Happy holidays to everyone observing or celebrating them.
Happy blogging to the rest.
🙂
Happy Holidays! I say “Happy Holidays” on purpose, because of the “War on Christmas”! 🙂
The War on Christmas seems to roll around earlier and earlier every year, doesn’t it seem that way???
AGAIN TODAY…on Raw Story…you post a comment…it disappears…and you get “Comment Successfully Posted
Your comment is awaiting moderation “…are they censoring comments at Raw Story? How come no one’s talking about this? And I see no explanation for this on Raw Story…

Hadn’t noticed … Huffpo seemed wimpy to me because every post I did was flagged as “[abusive]” … then I noticed that they are all flagged that way.
I ask if a “Hi Mom” post would get flagged as “[abusive]”, and opined that they had a software bug. My post was “[abusive]” 😉
I “quit” Christmas this year and it feels wonderful. No stress, no last minute rush for that forgotten gift. Friends don’t believe that I could possibly be happy NOT celebrating Christmas, they’re insisting I put up something Christmasy, visit, have a holiday drink etc. I feel just fine thanks and will have a drink every night , all year round, instead 🙂
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas , Seasons Greetings, Happy New Year and any other name you celebrate under.
I sincerly hope 07 will see things turn around for all you wonderful patriots.
PAPER BALLOTS ONLY
Big Dan – I don’t know what RAW STORY’s moderation policy is, but I wouldn’t consider moderation to be “censorship”, especially right now when there is a massive spam attack going on (comment spam has been a HUGE prob for a long time, and the graphic we use to keep such robo-spammers out here is successful, but only about 85% of the time).
As to HuffPo, I don’t believe your posts are all being “tagged as abusive”, but rather, there is a link on every post that one may click to alert the Mods over there that a comment is viewed by a reader as “abusive”. That gives a heads up to the Mods to check out the post to see if, in fact, it is.
All just FYI.
Here’s some funny pictures for those of us who aren’t out shopping…

The controllers of University of California at Berkeley are planning on cutting down a 38 tree Oak Grove for a $125,000,000 dollar Athletic compound.
The Chancellors contact page is http://cio.chance.berkeley.edu/...eneau/home.htm
Give the milions of creatures that live in that Oak Grove a holiday present and tell the Chancellor to stop this plan.
Thanks-Cheryl
Sorry something went goofy on me….I haven’t even had any brady-laced eggnog yet, perhaps that is the very problem.. anyway..

I opted out of sending cards this year and am sending this link instead to all my nearest and dearest and that includes all of you wonderful people at Bradblog.

The Raw Story’s new commenting policy is explained.

Right from Barbara Bush’s beautiful mind.
I’m going to pull out my favorite video this season. “The Moody Blues at Redrocks”. Ahhh, that’s better!
America is beginning to live up to its rhetoric?
Two Buddhists and one Muslim were elected to congress this year.
And of course the neoCons went rabid about it, and as much as called them all spawn of the devil.
I don’t know what holidays either of those keep, but welcome to America. It isn’t too far from where the neoCons hypernate.

JOJ #11: I think that’s Rep. Virgil Goode’s Christmas card he’s sending out…
Boss Hogg: “Hey Virgil, fuggeddabout dem Duke boyz, we’z got some Muzzlimz in Congress!!!”
How about the racism and the blending of church/state comments ALWAYS coming from Southern congressmen and Senators? (Macaca, “we need to spread christianity to Iran”, etc…)
Although, overall, Virginia DID turn blue, right? They now have 2 Dem Senators and a Dem governor, right? So, Kudo’s to THAT! I guess they get a pass for still having some Virgil Goode’s, then…sorry Virginia!!!
Hey, I should talk! We had Rick Santorum here in Pa.!!!
…but he WAS really living in Virginia 🙂
Xmas vid.
Perhaps neoCons once inhabited Mars. And destroyed it along with a planet next door where now only the asteroids remain.
Perhaps comets (on which salt water has recently been found) are other debris from such a planetary disaster.
Water frost still forms on Mars at more places than once even imagined. It has formed at the poles in layers over the years. There were vast amounts of water on Mars at one time.
And biologically looking surface material was observed recently at victoria crater by one of the Mars Rovers.
Perhaps there were bloggers and others warning of impending doom if a great respect for life was not found in the hearts and minds of its inhabitants.
It is always the season to Peace out.

Yeah right..!! Don’t ya wish..!!
There ain’t anything beautiful about BB or her mind.
Rock on with the Moody’s, brother……they’re one of my favourites, and I ain’t saying that ’cause I’m biased.. 🙂 It’s ’cause it’s the troof… 🙂 🙂 🙂
Merry Christmas, Utah 🙂
( Exit Mar, singing……”Knights in white satin, never reaching the end. Letters I’ve written, never meaning to send”…. )
“Cold hearted orb, that rules the night, removes the colors from our site. Red is gray, and yellow white, but we, (the people), decide which is right, and which is an illusion.”
This Christmas season, America is in dire need of more rational minds, like those of Carl Sagan and Rod Serling instead of gay-hating gay preachers.
Brad, Paypal is refusing to allow my credit card donation to Bradblog. Seems to think that your account is risky for some reason.

Try it in $20.00 increments.
Larry #28, thanks for the tip. It worked.
