Ah, 'tis a good thing you can't hear my eloquent vocal elucidations.

As for the original Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots. I got a brand new one this past summer for my birthday. You can find them at lots of places online. Here is the cheapest I've found: www.funforalltoys.com

Lets see...we've got the capture of Saddam being portrayed as a bad thing by the liberal dummies, including most of the nine I mentioned above. He was captured and stated he doesn't have the weapons of mass destruction that he used to bomb Kuwait, Iran, Israel, and his own people. And the liberals are running around going, "See, see! We told you so! Nah, nah, na nah, naah! Bush is a liar! It was all staged! We have Osama too!" Meanwhile the Iraqi people were crying and dancing in the streets. Did anyone catch the first press release and the half a dozen or so Iraqi reporters chanting against Saddam, jumping up and down, and crying tears of joy and relief? It was awesome to see. My own children were cheering and high-fiving each other, and I really couldn't believe it. My own 6 yr old and 8 yr old daughters get it, but the liberals don't. It must be hard for them to have to side with a terrorist-well maybe not.

Next we have PETA handing out "mommy is a killer" signs to kids whose mothers are wearing fur. What if it's fake fur...hmmmm. Anyway, talk about reprehensible, disgusting, hateful behavior. This from the tolerant left. PETA must really hate the cavemen, Eskimos (Inuits), and American Indians. So from now on I will be posting my own PETA signs as well as putting them in my truck windows and any place else I can think of. Here's the first two:

PETA-Promoting the Elimination of Testing for Aids.
PETA-Save a rat, kill a child.

Does this group add any value any more? No, but they are bordering on becoming a satanic cult. Another well-meaning group that started out doing good and that has been taken over by the far left kooks.

Drum roll please. This is the moment you've all been waiting for. Can I have the envelope please? And the 2003 Idiot of the Year...rrriiiiip...is...Teddy **hic** Kennedy. Not only did this fun-loving drunk criticize the President for passing the education bill he wrote himself costing us hundreds of millions in spending increases, he continued to push the envelope of lunacy by then criticizing the President for spending too much!! Imagine that-a liberal complaining about spending too much. Add on his utter hypocrisy in denouncing the war, calling our President a failure after the most successful war in our history, while claiming that the weapons of mass destruction that existed under Clinton suddenly vanished under Bush. Ladies and gentlemen, it was a tough contest with both Gray Davis and PETA making strong pushes, but Ted Kennedy has now defined hypocrisy. Congrats to the people of Massachusetts and the old Chappaquiddick Kid, and tip a few dozen more for us.

On a serious note folks, we have so much to be thankful for, so many blessings. Never forget what it's all about.

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.

While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." Luke 2: 1-14.

From my house to yours, my heart to yours, have a Blessed and Merry Christmas, and a safe and Happy New Year-it's gonna be great.
