I saw this over at Power Ball’s Blog It is about the liberal attack on the word Christmas.

In keeping with the spirit of political correctness, PowerBlog! recommends the adoption of the following songs at Holidaytime:

“I’m Dreaming of a White Holiday”; “O Holiday Tree”; “All I Want for The Holiday Is My Two Front Teeth”; “We Wish You a Merry Holiday”; “The Twelve Days of the Holiday”; “The Holiday Song”; “Rockin’ Around The Holiday Tree”; “You’re All I Want For The Holiday”; “Baby’s First Holiday”; “Do They Know It’s The Holiday”; “Merry Holiday Darling”; “I’ll Be Home For The Holiday”; “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like The Holiday”; “Blue Holiday”; “The Holiday Waltz”; “Holly Jolly Holiday”; “So This Is The Holiday”; “Merry, Merry Holiday Baby”; “Have Yourself a Merry Little Holiday”; “Twas the Night Before The Holiday”; “Holiday Serenade”; “Feliz Vacaciones.

Happy Sparkle Season!”

I would like to thank Power Ball for promition to reposting this.

A web site called “Old Lutheran” now has some Gym Shorts, making fun of the stupid left behind books and movies (ok for the record I am an Amillennialist (click this link for the LCMS’s document on the different views of the end times), so I reject the pre-tribulation rapture of the faithfull) I found this more funny then the Simpsons “Left below” episode.

Michelle Malkin has a good long review of the Mirecki story, and reasons it might not be a true beating, as it was first claimed to be.

I would hate to be the child of this “woman”

Published on: December 8, 2005

lifesite.net has a article on how a Scottish “woman” is suing an abortionist for failing to kill both of her twins. The child that survived the attempted murder is now 4 years old. I would hate to be that poor child, I can image how the “mother” probably continues to remind that poor child that she was not wanted and that she is a “financial burden” I would say that that “woman” should have her child taken from her and placed in a real loving home, the “woman” is an unfit mother, for 1) trying to kill her child before birth 2) saying the child is “financial burden”. A child is a beautiful gift from God not a “financial burden” if this “woman” thinks her daughter is a “financial burden” and tried to kill her before birth that shows she is an unfit mother.

The story of Mirecki seams to be falling apart

Published on: December 8, 2005

I just saw a post over at WorldNetDaily that talked about how the story of the beating of Mirecki seams to have some holes. Also the way the blogs and most news sites have been reporting the beating seams to be wrong. Many that are reporting about it, says the class was canceled after the beating. Well it turns out that it was canceled before the beating. Also (I did not know this) there apparently have been “that American campuses have witnessed a veritable pandemic of hate-crime hoaxes in recent years.”
Lastly if Mirecki’s story does check out to be true, it is sad that some idiots will hurt some one over religion, no mater how much of a jerk that person is.

I was going to do my Christmas shopping at amazon.com

I was going to do my Christmas shopping at amazon.com, but when I tried to check out, I tried to use my checking account info into the checkout area, I checked to make sure it was right. It returned saying something was wrong, but it did not say, so I entered it again and double checked it (copying it from my check book, with new checks were just sent to me last month) and it still said that there was a error, I signed into my account on line and my account looked fine from the banks web site. So I guess I will not be shopping for my Christmas presents I will be getting for my parents there, I will just head to the mall and deal with the crowds.

Snow

Well it looks like we have entered the snow season. I hate snow. Well I guess it is time to bring out the cold weather clothing. The NWS is showing snow for most of the next seven days. I just hope that we don’t get much coverage on the ground.
Also for those of you that might ask, “don’t you want a white Christmas?” My answer to that is no, I rather have a green Christmas. I know to many in Pittsburgh this will sound odd, but starting when I was a kid to my early 20’s we would go to Florida for a few days for Christmas (1985 to 2001) So for me Christmas was a warm time with palm trees, so for me, I don’t dream of a white Christmas I dream of a green Christmas. Oh well, from 2002 to now, I have not gone to Florida for Christmas, and the snow that we get around Christmas just is not for me something that says Christmas.

I watched the Pens game tonight, still not happy that they losed yet again. But tonights game gave me some hope for future games. The new goalie that they brought up from the minors (Fleury) did a good job on the net, and they looked more like a team tonight then before. I still say that Mario should get off the ice, but the team did better then I have seen in the past.

Why do people steal stuff that is not theirs?

I hate it when I bring a lunch to work, and since it is a frozen TV dinner I put it in the freezer here at work. When Lunch came around I go to get my lunch and find that some one took it. Yes it was only a $1 frozen meal, but the true cost of the theft is 7.72. Where do I get 7.72 from, well since my lunch was stolen I had to got out and buy a lunch, which cost 6.72, so I add the price of the stolen lunch to the price of the food I got for lunch since my lunch was stolen, and get the 7.72. Luther was right when he said that when presented with a choice of doing the right thing or the wrong thing, people by their nature will do the wrong thing, because of their fallen nature. This is not the first time my lunch has been stolen when I have brought it in. I been bring in my lunch to try to save some money, but thanks to these thieves it is actually costing me more then just going out to eat each day.

A fun waste of time

I found a link to a fun flash game. The game is called Nanaca Crash. I been messing arournd with it a bit, so far my best score is 9379.93 I am hoping that maybe this weekend I can mess with it a bit more and get over 10,000. Here are a few things I found out on the game (instructions are in another language) after you get the victum flying you can click to do a bust, you will have red boosts and blue boosts, the red ones you get 3 to use while playing the game, and the blue will start at 100%. The blue will refill during the game, when you use it it will drop to 0%. Red are use when the victum is falling and blue is for when the victum is going up. Their are other people that will scroll by as your victum is flying down the feild. each one does something to your victum, you will not want to have your victum hit the green girl, she will end the game, well unless she is labled as a “special” then you will have less then a second to click the screen to get a boost out of her. Good luck if you try the game.
