StallNine: Spirit of the blog

The war on Christmas continues.

I'm not even going to read the rest of the article, the headline and first sentence told me all I needed to know:

Stolen, Away From A Manger

December 9, 2006
By ANN MARIE SOMMA, Courant Staff Writer

It's not Christmas until baby Jesus starts disappearing from outdoor Nativity scenes.

Okay, I caved and read the rest of the article. It doesn't disappoint. Apparently baby Jesuses disappear all over the place. Just last year Naugatuk's $650 baby Jesus was stolen and has not been seen since. I can't figure out if $650 is a ridiculously high price (yes, the town pays, that means you, taxpayers) or a ridiculously low price (he is the savior, after all).

Assabassador?

I received an email from a friend announcing that John Bolton quit and maybe I should apply to be the next UN Assabassador. I think it was a typo. There are only three "a"s in Assbassador.

Another underoos post, but not really

Because these are not underoos:

They are a Wonder Woman Cami & Panty Set. I'm pretty sure the main difference is that adults don't wear underoos. Anyway, I found these this extra super awesome underoos cami and panty set when checking out this just as extra super awesome Ladies Sewing Circle and Terrorist Society T-shirt:

Either would make excellent holiday presents, I think.

Thanks to Lauren in the Pandagon comments for the Ladies t-shirt link! And, check out Joe Scarborough's idiocy as detailed by Amanda at Pandagon. Bottom line: Scarborough thinks women watching daytime tv shouldn't expose their delicate minds to politics. Nice.

Bush as substitute teacher

This commentary by Aaron Freeman made me smile on my drive home. I think my favorite part was when Hugo Chavez (the student) called Bush (the substitute teacher), "el diablo". Or at least that was the part where I laughed out loud the loudest. But I don't think Dr. Codswallop will enjoy the part about France taking over for a while so we can throw spit balls...
