Too good not to highlight, and I most sincerely hope that by tomorrow it’ll be out of date.
What else is on the agenda for the Last Dash Xmas Run-Up?

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.
Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.
Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)
“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”
This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.
A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals
The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.
When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.
Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.
Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.
There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.
They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.
“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”
A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.
Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.
They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.
That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.
Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?
The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.
Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.
Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.
Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.
When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.
He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Dear Santa,
It seems, especially given that the suspected MS has now been made official by a neurologist of that specialty reading the MRI and nodding, “yes, active lesions, here and here, with a smaller one here – see?” that I’m in need of a personal assistant. The ideal qualifications are the face of Johnny Depp, the soul of Dennis Banks, the brain of Richard Feynman, the culinary ability of Marco Pierre White, along with the soft tenor and complex flatpicking skills of Dave Rawlings. An added bonus would be the wit of Oscar Wilde combined with the fluid prose of David Foster Wallace, and the body of Roberto Baggio. Duties to include all household management and weekly massage therapy; extra compensation for gardening assistance. Must love animals.
I’ve been pretty good this year, despite any rumors to the contrary that you might have heard.

PS – Mr. Q will pay top dollar if the above personal assistant is a better housekeeper than I am currently.

I can’t believe he left the tree.

@a hip hop artist from Idaho (fka Bella Q):
I fail to qualify in any of those respects*; but if an abundance of good wishes is of any use to you, please help yourself. I’ve got lots, and to spare.
{{hugs}} and awe to you.
*except for the must love animals part, that’s easy.

Get ready, college football fans. You may have to listen to this 14 times next year.

Obviously was dozing through the portion of the Grinch’s lecture when he discussed trimming removal.

Best of luck to you Bella, in getting your perfect helper in the new year and in a slow, slow progression of your disease.

I love the tear. Is there a more ridiculous person than him? No, no there isn’t.

(repeating from the prior thread) if you view Gov Walker’s Holiday Ad: Let’s ‘Put Our Differences Aside’ at YouTube, he didn’t disable the dislike button.

You know, I’m a Bruin, so I should be thoroughly disgusted with the thought of such a thing, but I couldn’t help but feel a little schadenfreude if SC took it to those NCAA douchebags by winning a BCS title.

I thought the cartoon was going to depict Kill The Bill firebaggers, actually.

I understand that Mora went ballistic when the UCLA seniors went over the wall the other day. I think y’all are about to have some major cultural issues.

@burnspbesq:
It’s a hot mess. Who knows though. Maybe their first string QB will be healthy enough to play an entire season for once.
Man’s gotta keep some hope alive. Of course, holding onto hope does some strange things to some folks.

Mitt Romney tweetertwatted this today:
twitter.com/#!/MittRomney/status/149867634589040640
“This is a time when we look beyond who we are today and ask who we will become tomorrow.”
So I wasted my day tweeting suggestions for who Mitt might become with the hashtag #whowillmittbetomorrow

I think my 6 followers were annoyed.

Has there been any word on next year’s Ballon Juice calendar yet? I wanted to order some for Christmas gifts. I know I sent in my photos!

My agenda? Homemade fruitcake!

My agenda for the immediate future is a lot of vomiting followed by not sleeping by multiple showers and lots and lots of pills.
Pneumonia and flu at the same time during Christmas.
I’m stressed out right now. At times I feel that life in a combat zone was easier. But I’m going to be OK.
I’m not in for the difficulties and suffering that Bella has, so I can suck it up, take my pills, and drive on. If I could only get to sleep.
Yutsano
@Soonergrunt: I need to get to sleep. I’m also talking to a Dawg. I find myself in a horrendous conundrum. :)

@a hip hop artist from Idaho (fka Bella Q): Bella Q, i am at a loss for words. So I will just echo what SiubhanDuinne said, she said it much better than I could.
And I am asking Santa to move a breakthrough for MS way, way up on his list.
Edit: P.S. Asking god, too.

@Soonergrunt: Sooner, I had pneumonia for 3 weeks when I was in my twenties (bad reaction to flea chemicals I used on my dog). I recall one thing vividly. Being really tired but unable to sleep. Well, two things. The unable to sleep part made me really cranky after while.
Is the pneumonia related to the problem you had last year? (Or is it two years now, time just seems to fly by.)
I have really been enjoying you as a front pager.
Feel better soon! Oh, and flu with pneumonia really sucks.
