Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Not all heroes wear capes.

This really is a full service blog.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

In my day, never was longer.

It’s such a small world.
Who knew that Helen’s mom would have known debbie’s mom my mom well enough…
…to ask her to cut Helen’s bangs? ~WG

“All the kids in 1969 when I  was 7. I’m on the left.
And that’s my mother’s ass in the background. ?.”

A tree from Omnes
“This is what my family’s tree looks like every year.”


A tree with lots of presents!
I wonder which one is for me? ~WG

Since the title is Holidays When We Were Little…
I think this adorable photo of Betty Cracker’s Pete fits perfectly.
Don’t you?

circa 2021

This is from The Fat Kate Middleton


“This is currently on display at Iowa State University.
The little girls are me and my sisters, Mary and Peg.”

Just lovely!  What medium is that?  ~WG

    I am so old now that these Santas look like children. And I am just barely a senior.

    ETA I think I threw it out when we cleaned out the parents house but we used to have a picture of me age 3 looking like a traumatized deer in the headlights, and my sister age 5 looking both coy and smug. And Santa was very young.

    Fat Kate Middleton’s photo, I thought that was a scene from The Christmas Story at first glance.

    Debbie’s Mom was one of thousands who cut their daughters bangs like that in those days. I have no Christmas photos to prove that. Just school pictures. Oh dear!

    Debbie, is the doll with the darker hair one of those dolls that had a button on the tummy and a knob on the back so that you could make the hair grow or shorten it?  If so, that is really neato.

    @Juju:

    That’s WG, but it looks like that doll. I never got one of those, but it would have been better if I did. I did get a Chatty Cathy and a Barbie. I ruined them both when I cut their hair, not realizing that the “hair’ was only around the middle of the head. They looked like monks in dresses.

    @WaterGirl:

    Even better, I remember gluing cotton balls to Barbie’s head as replacement hair, and in despair at what that looked like, put both dolls in the back of my closet.

    I’m so enjoying the comments here –  thanks, everybody! (Special thanks to Water Girl.) The picture is a jpg capture from the original, which has been in our family since ’51 (’52?).

    It may be heresy to say so, but in my opinion, baby Pete may be even cuter than baby Badger.

    Oh, and the kid photos are cute, too.
