    Wow. Very nice. If you two are not the anchors for your church choir, some pastor is not a very good recruiter. Thanks.

    Merry Christmas and lets all hope for a wonderful 2010.

    What? You couldn't take the excitement of a Blue Hawaii getaway?

  • 9 onlineanalyst // Dec 26, 2009 at 10:12 pm

    How about some seasonal "Twelve Days of Global Warming"?

    Hiking?

    Whatsamattah? Couldn't take "Blue Hawaii" with the Man-Child?

  • 11 ChileSerrano // Dec 27, 2009 at 12:01 am

    And a very festive Winter Solstice … thingy.

    Have our Great and Incredibly Wise Leaders announced when the human sacrifices will commence?

    Fear of flying? It's all under control. TOTUS tells us so: http://baracksteleprompter.blogspot.com/2009/12/t...

    BTW the Man-Child took some time out from his much-needed vacation in HI to lament the death of a civil-rights attorney, one who defended Malcolm X.

    I love your icon! What hump?

  • 16 boberinyetagain // Dec 28, 2009 at 2:43 pm

    Belated (here anyway) Merry Christmas…warming up to a Happy New Year…one can dream, can't one?

    Thanks for being you Scott!

  • 17 ChileSerrano // Dec 28, 2009 at 4:52 pm

    boberin: That would be "hope", bob. One can hope that things will change. Or, to be more precise, one can hope that the changes that will inevitably happen will be positive, or perhaps at least bearable.

    IIRC, that's been tried.

    Often.

    Recently, even.

    You are entitled to have your own opinion of how that all worked out.

    Although not everyone would agree with that last statement . . .

  • 18 boberinyetagain // Dec 28, 2009 at 5:02 pm

    Hope is nice but I maintain that dreaming is more like it. Hope suggests the possibility (to my mind) more that dreaming as dreams are almost always just that…dreams.

    But, I'm surely with you on the solstice thing…I celebrate mightily when the days begin to get longer…not a hope or a dream…a fact, and a welcome one at that!

    I'm dull today…and likely most days (beat folks to it)…IIRC? What's that?

  • 19 ChileSerrano // Dec 28, 2009 at 5:53 pm

    boberin: The acronym IIRC stands for "If I Remember Correctly". Not something one can automatically assume at my age …

    There are other definitions for IIRC in use on the Internet (e.g., "If I Really Cared"), but I'm fairly sure that the first definition I quoted is the one that's most commonly used.

    And, on the topic of hope

    Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.

    ~~ Francis Bacon (Apophthegms, 1624)

  • 20 boberinyetagain // Dec 28, 2009 at 7:13 pm

    In reality, hope is the worst of all evils, because it prolongs man's torments. ~Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human, 1878

    He that lives upon hope will die fasting. ~Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack

    I am accustomed to sleep and in my dreams to imagine the same things that lunatics imagine when awake. ~Rene Descartes, "Meditations on First Philosophy"

    Hope.

    "A fool and his money are soon elected." ~~ Anonymous

  • 23 boberinyetagain // Dec 28, 2009 at 8:40 pm

    In Phila it's a "fool with our money"

  • 24 ChileSerrano // Dec 28, 2009 at 9:15 pm

    In his opinion, bob, that is his money.

    Unless the rules in Philly are different from the ones they use in New York State …

  • 25 boberinyetagain // Dec 28, 2009 at 9:19 pm

    Believe it or not I'm pretty confident that we (Philly) are far more corrupt than even New York. Those folks are pikers compared to us…

  • 26 JamesonLewis3rd // Dec 28, 2009 at 9:26 pm

    And BHO makes all of the corrupt, free-spending politicians look like miserly angels.

  • 27 boberinyetagain // Dec 28, 2009 at 9:33 pm

    He has more help than most…makes things slightly easier

  • 28 ChileSerrano // Dec 28, 2009 at 9:41 pm

    "Location, location, location" may be the most significant element in real estate, but I'm not sure it makes all that much difference in the field of political corruption. As you point out, JL3rd, some folks are just gifted

    But even talent isn't absolutely necessary. It just comes naturally.

    “Man is conceived in sin and born in corruption and he passeth from the stink of the didie to the stench of the shroud. There is always something.” ~~ Robert Penn Warren, in All The King's Men (1946)

    Boberin,
    Ok,
    Cheer up my friend.

    Things are always darkest right before they go completely black.

    In front of every silver cloud is a dark cloud nearly as large.

    Boberin

  • 32 onlineanalyst // Dec 29, 2009 at 2:56 am

    Well, I enjoyed that "chile" and "boberin" volley of repartee.

    I am with you, boberin, on cheering up immediately after the shortest day of the year passes. Unless there is sunshine on the snow, I get down in the dumps in December.

  • 33 JamesonLewis3rd // Dec 29, 2009 at 11:59 am

    I tried to post something similar to this yesterday but it didn't take so I'm a little late on this not-so-off-topic topic:

    Hope and dreams are not synonymous.

  • 34 boberinyetagain // Dec 29, 2009 at 1:53 pm

    Amen…I'm dancing a small jig…one that gets longer each day!

  • 35 camojack // Jan 2, 2010 at 5:57 am

    Actually, I'm planning to visit Hawaii in February…

  • 36 el_polacko // Jan 3, 2010 at 5:43 am
