Holydays

Well I'm back in sunny California. The trip to Chicago although brief was fantastic in that I got to see my family. There's nothing quite like an Oak Park Christmas Eve. It was cold, but not unbearable. I received some lovely unexpected gifts and played a mean board game or two. Lots of screaming, drinking and laughs. That's my family. We also trekked to my ladies neck of the woods for a farmer's Christmas. There's something relaxing and peaceful about being surrounded by nothing i.e. the picture above. Her nieces and nephews were adorable as can be, watching them reminds me of what Christmas used to feel like each year. And it snowed the last day. The only downfall was I didn't sleep much. With all the travel and my retail work schedule I think I only had one decent night of sleep...somehow though it makes sense. Christmas and the holidays have always seemed so rushed and full of anxiety these past couple of years. I guess I should expect it more so now that I ...

One more day till Christmas Eve! I'm not that excited because I'll be working at 6am, then hopping on a flight (thank God it's Virgin) and arriving late to the party in Oak Park. At least I'll be able to see family for like two hours. What's everyone up to this holiday? How's the Festival of Lights going? I hope everyone is having a blessed and fantastic time with family and friends. Here are your highlights: Louis C.K. hilarious comic, model citizen House Republicans couldn't say no forever, Payroll Tax Cut clears Let's talk about jobs record Romney Eight soldiers charged in death of PVT. Danny Chen Ummm Amazon and teh super duper computer Chow!

Ho ho ho holy hell the GOP is full o crazy this time of year. No payroll tax holiday, no unemployment benefits and a bit of procedural tricks in a pear tree! And in even better news this is the least popular Congress in history. So it's got that going for it as well. Only a couple of days till it's on for Christmas, Happy Hanukkah to those who rock that out as well! Here are your highlights: Even conservative pundits think the GOP House is messing up Obama's poll numbers look promising. Also too, help out Washington Monthly if you can Robot takeover continues TNC, on Ron Paul "Old News" and "Ron Paul's Shaggy Defense" Pitchfork has their "Top 50 Albums" , do you agree?! Chow!

Get Your Dunkin Tuesday

Castle was on last night. That and I noshed on some delicious Texas & Mean Chili from Chili Mac's . Yes, it was *embarrassingly the first time I enjoyed the chili at Chili Mac's. Normally the lady and I get margs and people watch there. We honestly don't feel like eat chili in the summer, so last night seemed like a perfect time. NOM NOM NOM. I'll be coming back again and this time getting extra cheese. That was my night a double C, Chili and Castle (which was another fun filled episode and I kind of hope the bar becomes a stomping ground for the cast). This week starts getting busy today. I will try to keep my rage on point! Here are your highlights: Wikileaks founder Julian Assange arrested - it's now going to be Bond villain media coverage for the rest of the year that or since it involves SEX...it'll be Tiger Woods-esque No Christmas for you Congress, DADT keeping them in Prayers for Elizabeth Edwards There are No Deficit Hawks in Congress The child in ...

Get Your Dunkin Friday

It's here Friday! I honestly am ready for a break from work and the hustle. It's tough out here for a gangsta pundit...whatever that means. This weekend I will be getting some present early which is paramount as it will quell my rage on Xmas. It's so much as I am in a bahhumbug mood, just wish it was longer and that I wouldn't have to go back to work. I know, don't we all? I also will be giving the lady her gift, so if I don't come back Monday it's because the gift is that awesome and she won't stop telling me so! I RULE!! I hope everyone this year has a great holiday regardless of your beliefs because if we can't set aside our difference and admit I am always right, then what is Xmas really about? Here are your highlights: Obama in Copenhagen , the outlook is not good as China leads the F*U*Crew The health care deadline is approaching, No Room for Error Our very liberal media asks, Who is Winning the War on Christmas? By asking that question, I wou...
