Two Quick Things to Say about the Holiday Season

First of all-Give, give, give!! Whether it's doing community service or being extra generous to family and friends, give all you can this season. Today, I donated $25 to the Salvation Army's Angel Tree Project to give a holiday dinner to an underprivileged family. Now I know that sounds like a lot of money, but think about what a simple holiday dinner we take for granted will mean to them. I also have two community service projects lined up: One as a volunteer at this thrift store that provides affordable clothing for low-income individuals as well as donating money to local charities and another as an usher at a special production of "The Nutcracker" for underprivileged children and the elderly. I'm looking forward to both of them. So I encourage you all to open your wallet or donate your time to anyone that needs a helping hand. This is a very stressful time for many of us in this country. Why not try making someone's day better?

Second-I know this is a pretty random question, but why is "A Few of My Favorite Things" considered a holiday song? I'm hearing it everywhere I go, and it's driving me nuts! Wasn't that on some movie with this crazy woman singing every five minutes? Haha! Okay, I'm done!

Anywho, Happy Holidays!

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35

And The Award for Stupid Person of the Week Goes to...

None other than Jon Favreau! This future (He hopes!) White House director of speechwriting attended a party where he played around with and grabbed the breast (or in this case, touched the chest area) of a life-sized cardboard cutout of Hillary Clinton and...this is what REALLY won him the award...put pictures of it on Facebook! That's right, Facebook! This fool was smart enough to become Obama's head speechwriter at only 27 yet STUPID enough to put take such sexist, tasteless pictures and parade them on the Internet for the world to see?? Oh wow Jon...WOW! I'm actually glad he did it. Now the Obama administration can see this guy's stupidity in all its glory and grandeur. In just a few simple minutes of uploading pics, this guy has destroyed his entire career and reputation. I applaud him. Not many people can pull off ignorance of that magnitude...okay maybe they can. The Clinton camp had this to say: "Sen. Clinton is pleased to learn of Jon's obvious interest in the State Department, and is currently reviewing his application." Confused? So am I. Perhaps we'll see an ironic storybook ending like the Samantha Power incident? Only time will tell! But in the meantime, enjoy your Stupid Person of the Week Award Jon Favreau! You've DEFINITELY earned it!

R.I.P Sarah Palin's VP Campaign

Oh how I will miss her folksy language, her off the wall comments, and her uncanny ability to participate in long, extensive interviews and never actually answer a question (Now that's talent). No longer do I have the pleasure of turning on the evening news or visiting my favorite news blogs in hopes of seeing what treats Sarah had in store for us for that day. *Sigh* Anywho, Talking Points Memo put together this little compilation of Sarah's finest campaign moments. Ahhh the memories!



R.I.P. Sarah Palin's VP Campaign. You brought joy and laughter to many.
