Open Thread Thursday

Kind of like the song-and-dance we've been getting from Al Gore & Co. regarding "climate change".

So, You are a…..Democrat…..? http://twitpic.com/rwyd0

I've watch this every year since grade school. I'm 44 and I ain't stoppin' now! LOL

It's ironic that George Irving, the big rotund musical comedy actor who did the voice of the Heat Miser, was still alive thirty years later to do the voice again for last year's "A Miser's Brothers Christmas" while Dick Shawn, the comedian and actor who played the Snow Miser, was thin as a rail with washboard abs and an early healthy living and fitness advocate, died many years ago and had to be replaced.

Humor they say is a good way to get your point across. I prefer you go to the comedy club for humor, because life and death is little hard for me to put a happy face on.. What is going on in the war zones in our name is insane.. It seems everyone in Washington is pulling each others tails.. Ok its not their tails they are pulling, but the result is the same. I am still trying to figure out are we surrendering or are kicking butt.. I still don’t know what victory looks like. I am still not convinced that our soldiers in the field have the backing of the full power of America.. The reported rules of engagement are crazy while we court martial heroes for wiping a smile off a bad guy who supports cutting heads off. BO speech was closer to …ho hum .. Do I have to give this speech…. than to “we will fight them in the streets“.. Sorry I see no humor when soldiers are fighting for their lives…I still think instead of just thanking a vet for their service call your congressman and demand they protect our men and women in the field.

You can time travel?? Please go back farther and kill Hitler!

Good Post……buy American and buy from small local stores…..not catalogs….not net sites…..go to your locally owned store and have them get what you want. When I want an item that I can't get locally I go to my locally owned GUN store and have them get it for me …..sometimes it takes longer is more expensive, but they'll be in business when the catalogs are gone and the net sites are closed down. WE NEED A CHANGE IN WASHINGTON….IN OUR STATES….and IN OUR TOWNS……IN OUR MINDS , and IN OUR HEARTS.

LOOOOOOOOOVE the cartoon StlDan.

Priceless!

people fail to see the regulations and all those penny taxes as a killer to the economy and our liberty., Government can give tax break to business all they want but if I can't buy the product then that job can't exist..

I was having a good laugh until I got to the clown.

So are we going to bailout the media next? I don't see what good it'll do because it'll just get crappier if the governement runs it. As a matter of fact the government will just speed up the downward spiral of the bias media. People already are fed up with it so what makes gov think that they'll like it more if we bail it out. I'm really getting pizzed off at all this crap and am about ready to pull my hair out.

And further more, why the HELLo didn't we FORCE Bernake to tell us what the HELLo he did with all of that tarp money.

I assume you are speaking of the "Micheal Steele" photo? http://twitpic.com/cvcws I used that in defense of the Obama in white face controversy, shut'em up pretty quick.

And Charlie Brown, Linus and Lucy, Sally, Schroeder, Shermy, Pig-Pen, Patty, Violet, Frieda, Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang, including Vince Guaraldi and Charles M. Schulz will always live forever!

Good on Boeing. Call me callous, but unions are doing more to hurt workers than almost anything else out there.

Happiness, after all, is a warm puppy.

I have been called worse than callous when talking to people around here about why Boeing left. People are often short sighted when it comes to unions or other things that might benefit YOU but hurt the country and YOU overall. Same with taxes, public health care… It is easier to loll in fantasyland.

I read a few days ago that Wal Mart decided to close a store in Canada rather than unionize it. Quebec was going to forbid them from closing the store! Can you imagine. I was thrilled for Wal Mart. THRILLED!

I understand, I did not label it at the time because it was easier to "ambush" with it, if you will. I need to track down my source and label it. Thanks

It's downright eerie how much Snow Miser and Heat Miser remind me of my older brothers.

Hey Barbarian, this comment isn't a response to this particular post, but is from an exchange we had earlier in the week on how you can spread the word. Here's an interesting blog idea.

http://zombietime.com/

Rather than using lots of text, its a visual based blog. Zombie infiltrates whacko left wing protests, documents them with her (I think it's a her, who ever it is keeps a really low profile on the net), camera, and then posts them on line.

Just mentioning it as one of many ways you can use the internet to reach out, connect with like minded people, and spread the good word. Have a look and see if its something that might interest you.

LOL!!! That's the first thing I thought when I saw this too. Hahahaha!!!

I just had the same thought. Gee's that was the only good part of that whole move.

Looks like that young man has already been to war, Notice the CIB and the ribbons underneath.

Those Cadets didn't look too enthused to be there. At least that's what their body language, and silence spoke.

Christmas on Television (The Praeger Television Collection)

http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Television-Praege...

A worthy looking book which I am too frugal to purchase.

I wish I could figure out a way to stop buying Government, our state laid off 800 MO-DOT employees today.

Check out the teasing spin on this video from the AP: "Obama Bemoans Desperation of People Out of Work"

Oooh… Ahhh… Awww…

Barack is so full of crap…

Scott – your memory is scarily good! The governator indeed!

Memo to Obama: "IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID!"

"Call me callous, but unions are doing more to hurt workers than almost anything else out there."

Case in point ladies and gentlemen, I give you my state.. Michigan.

Last memo to Obama: "Fuhgeddaboudit- you're stupid."

even in my tiny state we have 100's of districts, each with admnistrations costs that can rival that of our largest school district.. are school system foundation is still based of the horse and buggy time, not because it helps the kids because who gets money for building and other contracts.

I should have added that the appearance of the Misers, Snow and Heat, looked very much like the original actors who did their voices.

Ok someone has to overlay Gores face on the heat mieser and John Holdren on freeze meiser (Holdren was a ice age proponent in 70's before he flipped to warming)

The little dudes on Holdrens side can be overlays of other Czars, on Gores side Pelosi etc.

That would be hysterical, "Congress Debates AGW" would go viral overnight…

Where's today's movie?

politician are bad at deciding who stays and who goes…so it is always easier to lay off those with the weakest lobby group..I know I will get thumb but education is the biggest and most wasteful part of our government..it is so top heavy if it was a person it feet would always be in the air…

Maury Laws and Jules Bass are responsible for this song (and the rest of the music in "The Day Without A Santa Claus"). I learned this while trying to find out whom to call down the Wrath of Khan upon after this tune got into my head last night at work and I could *not* get it out again.

It's probably mostly Laws. From a look at his IMDb composer page, it seems he was the go-to person for shows like this. He sure had quite a career from the 1960s to the 1980s: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0493127/#composer

I liked the presence of cool-looking (in the literal sense of the word) Mrs. Claus in Heat Miser's domain and just learned this morning that this voice role was Shirley Booth's last filmed appearance.

What follows isn't at all related to the above video (except to offer a cure if the melody gets stuck in your head–really, this worked for me!) or to Christmas, but it is Hollywood related, and it's powerfully effective if you seen the movies (and if you haven't, I'll provide links–they're both in the public domain).
