Many a truth is said in jest.

Adam Schiff's New Impeachment Target
Adam Schiff: Mr. Kringle this impeachment inquiry believes you engaged in a clear quid pro quo for generations. We have numerous instances where you promise toys - aka a payoff - to children if and only if they are "good." For my first witness the Chair would like to call upon Krampus.
The War on Christmas is real!

Valentine's Day Linky Links
- Valentine's Day was not a happy anniversary for Teddy Roosevelt
- Chain-smoking Santa says...
- The US as a Valentine's Day card
- Not sure if picturing Prince Charles as your Valentine is more creepy or scary (or just plain hilarious)
- And a reminder that today's not just Valentine's Day - it is also the anniversary of Oregon joining the Union as the 33rd State back in 1859

Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Yesterday 1.5 million people turned out in Boston for the Patriots Super Bowl victory parade. I was not one of them. I went to the first Patriots' parade in 2002 but it was so cold that I watched most of the parade go by from inside a bar. Never went to another... I see this Julian Edelman t-shirt and all I can think of it Edelman's story would make a good "Santa: the Early Years" movie... Holy crap! Man is attacked by mountain lion - man kills mountain lion WITH HIS BARE HANDS! He choked the beast to death. Dana White should sign this guy up for the UFC!... Non-Recurring Phenomenon would be a good name for a movie studio (and a nice tribute to William Goldman),,, "Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist." - Pablo Picasso... Fighting a big cat on land is terrifying but after seeing these photos I'm thinking fighting one in the water might be even worse... Anthony Davis' dad says he doesn't want his son traded to Boston because the Celtics aren't loyal - pointing to their trade of Isaiah Thomas. Ten years ago Anthony Davis' dad would have used the excuse that he didn't want his son traded to the Celtics because Boston is a racist city. So I guess that's progress?...

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Our entire moon - including the side we can't see from Earth. (When my son was young I convinced him that giant mushrooms grow on the dark side of the moon. I'm an awful person.)
- Mr. Money Mustache on how to retire early. Good advice but won't work for everyone (like me since I missed the boat on saving early in life)
- So basically the Russians supposedly influenced our election by telling people "You can't hold hands with God when you are masturbating?"
- Wicked cool
- Funny - he doesn't look 28
- Santa's "super powers" vs those of traditional super heroes "based on careful scientific analysis".
- The best exercises for a strong back

- The X-37B is really cool but I would hesitate calling it secret if video of it exists on the Internet
- Cool - Santa's superpowers vs those of "traditional" superheroes
- Heh heh
- An oral history of The League
- Funny that this could even be considered plausible

The Truth About the Island of Misfit Toys
I had an epiphany the other day. It was in regard to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys. The thing about the misfit toys wasn't that they were squirt-guns that shot jelly or cowboys who rode ostrich's. The really strange thing about these "toys" was the fact THEY WERE ALIVE!
Now any high school biology student can tell you that life comes from life. These misfit toys were probably the offspring of some sick minded magic elves who must have gotten too "friendly" with some of the toys they were working on and fondling day after day. They were put on the Island of Misfit Toys probably as an attempt by upper management of Santa's Workshop to cover up some of the sick shit that was going on when the lights got turned off at night.
Let's be clear here - we aren't talking about misfit toys either - we are talking about FREAKS! If my kids got a choo-choo with square wheels that was alive - I would freaking BURN IT WITH FIRE! I would also then have to start spending thousands of dollars on therapy probably for the whole family. You could bet that Christmas and Santa would take on whole new meanings (and nightmares) from that day forward.
God help the children who ended up getting those freak misfit toys on Christmas morning.
