Here’s a video from Bill Whittle. You may remember Bill as the man who wrote the best essay ever written on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Good morning hamsterville. Where is everybody this beautiful Monday morning?
Kim Jong Il (sick wissin SOB) has assumed room temperature. I would imagine that what is left of his person is slow roasting on a spit in the 7th circle of H_ll about now. Can you imagine the shock on his face when he found out that there really is an Elohim?
A previous comment linked to an article about ‘Tribes’ which brought up the story of Spicoli in a row boat. I’d never heard of the thing sinking before and looked for a picture. Found this. What was interesting in the comments was this reply from Matt Taibbi. Just passing. Doing my thesis research on how online blogging is breaking down… Read more »
Fox has their war whore, Geraldo, on bright and early today. That scum sucking wiss gives legitimate pimps a bad name.
Sing it Dino.
Sorry the Packers and Texans lost today. A bump in the road for both but not fatal. Some neighborhood drama took place while the Packers game was on. Nothing serious of course, more like a hilarious distraction from the game. Actually, wish we could have distracted Kansas City with the goings on. The character everybody in the neighborhood loves to… Read more »
Got back from Christmas signage — that is hard work – to see that KIm Jong Il is announced dead. Guess we’ll see what the next Kim is like soon enough.

If a shock wave goes across a barren land, does anyone notice?
Linky poo.
Apparently, Kim Jong Il has assumed the temperature of an unheated North Korean hovel.
#76 Super Dave,
Ditto squared. No offense to Sinatra, whose talent catpured the era before Elvis and kept on
mesmerizing audiences until he could sing no more. May they both rest in peace.
Phil Ditto! 😀
But nobody sings this song better than this guy did.

Dino was the King of Crooners.
Tonight I perform my last expected duty as an HOA Nazi: the annual judging of Christmas decorations in my subdivision. Noticed already that only about 1/2 the usual number of homes have decorated this year. And 4 big corner lots that always went full bore and have received Hall of Fame yard signs for the 6 years I’ve been on… Read more »
Looks like Santa may encounter some IFR conditions and icing coming down the fly over part of the country.

#68 I’ll see your “Let it Snow” and raise you “Silver Bells” Both are great, Is it just me or was music better back in the day. We still have all the old classics, first on 33 LP then cassette, now CDs.
#67 timdenchanter I don’t have time to look further right now, but news reports have described the securities listed in McCaul’s disclosure as being included in trusts set up by Mr. Mays for his daughter and grandchildren. I don’t know if that is the case, wholly or in part, yet one can’t tell from these documents. My own disclosure: I… Read more »
#66 wagonburner, It was my #58 and I think Texpat kicked HAL in the shins for me since he was lurking about. I’m sure that my name for a certain ABC news talking head is what Granny Hamous was upset about. Thanks anywho! 😉
Speaking of snow–nobody says it better than DM
56 Texpat Here’s the link to Mr. McCaul’s financial filing where anyone can see what he claims as income. #56 Shannon I sat through a “town hall” with Mr. McCaul a few weeks ago at the Merrill Center in Katy. If he is the best we can get, we are in deep tapioca. I would not seek to limit anyone’s… Read more »

Nothin there.
Muhwahahahahahahaha………………………….. uhhhh ahem sorry bout that.
/Retirement never felt so good.
Well this just frosts me. A little google fun. 😉
HAL kilt the blog?
“Your comment is awaiting moderation.”…OK? HAL?
#58 Shannon I don’t know what McCaul’s position is on the bill, but if Ted Poe and Louis Gohmert vote the atrocious and likely unconstitutional SOPA bill out of the Judiciary Committee, neither one of them should ever be allowed to call themselves a conservative again. The chairman of that Committee, Republican Lamar Smith of San Antonio, has proven in… Read more »

Being married to woman whose family is richer than Croesus comes with a big wagon of baggage, no matter how many children you have together.
There is no more dependably conservative Congressman than Mike McCaul. Except maybe Ted Poe.
What? Are we going to put a ceiling on legislator wealth?
Well Chistiane Amawhore is on the tube with a panel discussing the size and scope of Government, on the right, Paul Ryan & George Will, both are highly intelligent and know about finance and on left Barney Frank & Robert Reich, absolute socialist idiots. You know this would be funny if not for the fact that she actually thinks these… Read more »
Bet he gets nice toys for Christmas though. 😀
#47 timdenchanter McCaul’s wealth consists entirely of trust funds set up for his wife by her father, Lowry Mays, the founder of Clear Channel Communications. I have no way of knowing, but it is quite possible McCaul has no say or control over that wealth or how it is spent. He is, by law, required to list it in his… Read more »
OMG, are we still kilt this morning? Wake up, Hamsters!
#48 T-d-E
Nope. Katfishy kilt the blog with all them music videos.

I was wondering when Santana was goingto actually play Samba in his Samba Pa Ti piece. It was all Blues until about half way through the numner then he played some good Samba. It was actually a pretty good transition between genres.
Super Dave #39;
That was good. Manheim Steamrollers have made some pretty good stuff.
Adee #49;
Thanks. I sure hope so.
Gotta go look up the airspeed velocity of an unladen european swallow. O & O.
Yea for you, Darren. You surely have mastered it.
Hello!

Is this thang workin’?
We are so skrood. Watched a rerun on C_SPAN a while ago that featured Peter Schweizer talking about his new book, THROW THEM ALL OUT. Here’s a link to the C-SPAN video that is 1 hour and 2 minutes long. You won’t get anywhere near all the way through because you will lose your supper before you do. BTW, anyone… Read more »
