    Dear Santa,

    All I want for Christmas is for every wingnut in the world to have just one moment of perfect self-awareness – for them to see themselves for what they really are. And for the memory of that moment to be indelibly etched upon their memories.

    Oh, and give Jonah Goldberg a case of shingles while you’re at it.

    Please, Santa – I’ve been a good girl this year.

    And if I’ve got any extra Christmas wishes left, maybe you could swing a cute, smart guy my way? (hint, hint)

    Cookies and milk in the usual place.

    Love, Jillian

    I’m getting confused.

    I thought Jillian was on the “other” team, so I gave up my blog-crush. Now she’s looking for a guy,.. what the hell?

    Can we get a standardized set of tags next to our names that indicate our sexual orientation, marital status, body mass index, and views on personal hygiene?

    That’s a lot of total information awareness, in the humble opinion of this tinfoil hat wearer. But others’ mileage may vary.

    P.S. Merry Christmas!

    Yeah, but I figure if the dept. of homeland security has it, we should too.

  5. Jillian said,

    December 25, 2007 at 22:29

    Wait…I have to pick ONE team? Jonah’s right: you liberals ARE fascists!

    Can’t wait for the holidays to be over, so all of us sad sacks of lonely hearts quit moping over our singledom and get back to snarking.

    (Me included in the “sad sacks” bit)

    Merry Christmas to all of you. Hoist a glass for fairness and justice in 2008 – for everybody, even lowly ‘pit bull’ owners.

    Sexual orientation: Atheist monk – figure it out.
    Martial status: Unsure, pretty much single for the past couple of decades by choice
    BMI: 21.4 only because I eat whatever the hell I feel like having, whenever I feel like having it and I move around a lot
    Personal hygiene: Good. Haven’t bought into the overcleaning that is causing so much ill-health lately but don’t stink.

    Tag that, babies!

    Off for another Corona – no preservatives, one of the ‘cleanest’ beers around.

    Keep on keeping on, Bitchez!

    Merry Christmas from you friendly local atheist.

  7. Caveat said,

    December 25, 2007 at 22:32

    Sorry, that should be plural – “from you friendly loca atheistS’

    ‘Loca’ should read…or not.

    Dear Santa,

    What Jillian said about the wingnuts? I second. If the whole self-awareness fhing is too tough, I’d settle for debilitating aneurisms and precipitous drops in their personal wealth. Together.

    I suppose shingles will have to do for J-Load.

    Oh, and since it is Christmas, could you see to it that all those folks who say they love them some Baby Jesus actually acted like it, and walked the walk? Y’know, drop a little empathy down the chimney, maybe some Hate-B-Gone? That’d be great.

    Peace on Earth, goodwill to men and all that,

    justme

    Hmm. how about atheist pope as a sexual orientation?
    Jillian, you can be on any team, hell, you can be the ref!

  10. porndog said,

    December 25, 2007 at 22:36

    Sexual orientation: upside down.
    Marital status: sadly, yes.
    BMI: I had to sell the beamer.
    Personal hygiene: crusty enough.

    I keep trying to figure out how to say Jillian’s behavior seems perfectly normal to me without sounding condescending, but ain’t simple.
    I’ve been close to females with similar sexual identities, as friend n more, n my only issue is that it’s plain old hard for a guy to compete with another female in bed, at least in some respects. I don’t need a map to find certain spots or nothin, but when you have your own set of equipment to practice with at home you’re going to end up knowing how it works better than those who don’t.

  12. justme said,

    December 25, 2007 at 22:39

    Jillian, you can pick as many teams as you like, even the Yankees, and we’ll still love ya. The Lakers may be going a bit too far, though.

  13. Hoosier X said,

    December 25, 2007 at 22:41

    I’m off to work at the local wingnut newspaper! That’s my Merry Fucking Christmas!

    (Sometimes I feel like a concentration camp guard. “I was only following orders.”)

  14. Jillian said,

    December 25, 2007 at 22:42

    Sexual orientation is more complicated than that, ADB. It’s not something a person can consciously control – it’s about whom you are attracted to emotionally, physically, sexually. And those attractions are things that have roots way, way beyond the conscious level.

    Hell, if all it was about were which gender could get you off the best, we’d none of us ever have sex with anyone else – because no matter how well you know your partner (of any gender) sexually, no one can ever get you off as well as you get yourself off.

    December 25, 2007 at 22:55

    Fine, Djur.

    You are officially KICKED OUT of the secret club. And NOT INVITED to the sleepover party anymore, either.

  17. Chawunky said,

    December 25, 2007 at 22:55

    As regards moments of crystalline self-awareness, I (sadly) imagine that such would do little more to the average vingnoot than provide an impetus to reinforce their complex layers of denial.

    Anything to escape the thorns ravaging one’s conscience, eh? But then maybe that’s enough of a holiday bonus, their contending with an extra dollop of exquisite angst…

    Happy Decemberween, all and everyall.

  18. a different brad said,

    December 25, 2007 at 22:56

    Didn’t mean to sound reductionist, Jillian. Just sayin I’ve known times where the competition feels a little unbalanced. And I can…. *censored* with my *censored* and make my *censored* bounce a little if properly *censored*, dammit.
    Not quite sure I agree with your last bit, but I might just be tired of myself. One brief and unexciting interlude aside, been just me far too long.

  19. Smiling Mortician said,

    December 25, 2007 at 23:02

    Marital status: sadly, yes.

    Aw, porndog. That really is sad.

    no one can ever get you off as well as you get yourself off.

    Hmm. I think this may be one of those truisms that works in the aggregate but has a few knee-weakening exceptions. Thank the baby jeebus. Or, y’know, whoever.

  20. Fozzetti said,

    December 25, 2007 at 23:05

    Jillian: I’ve had shingles, and you know what! I WOULD wish them on my worst enemy(s) Goldberg, Bush, Mama Bush and especially Cheney. And Pelosi & Reid tho perhaps in a milder version.

    Oh– and the dumb doctor who couldn’t diagnose shingles and cavalerly told me to try a dermatologist! Took 2 days to find one who instantly diagnosed shingles & gave me an anti-viral. I must say, his office had several bibles on the tables and lots of religious literature. So- Christians can be very good. Bless him!

    Junior High?

    And here I was, this close to letting Djur read my best poop jokes.

    P.S. It’s all been downhill since sixth grade.

  22. Jillian said,

    December 25, 2007 at 23:06

    Well, that’s just it. Sex isn’t about the getting-off part nearly as much as it is about all the other parts that go along with sex – the physical and emotional attraction. And those parts are complicated and mysterious.

    People are complicated. I wish we were more like turtles.

  23. Hümor Me said,

    December 25, 2007 at 23:26

    It’s like Junior High, only better: we can still do the fart and poop jokes, still become giddy over the attention of the right person, but we know how sex works by now and we don’t have a curfew.

    Sexual orientation: what Jillian said
    Marital status: single
    BMI: not sure–plump and cuddly, but not huge
    Hygiene: excellent

  27. a different brad said,

    December 25, 2007 at 23:28

    Corrected:

    Sex shouldn’t just be about the getting-off part nearly as much as it is about all the other parts…

    Alas, that ain’t even true for the gals I seem to find around me. Then again, the hipsterish parts of NYC I end up spending most of my time in aren’t often known for deep thinkers, their own self-opinions aside.

    Sex isn’t about the getting-off part nearly as much as it is about all the other parts that go along with sex – the physical and emotional attraction.

    Eh? I think you’re kinda confusing sex with a [potential] relationship. Meaningful attraction (physical, emotional, intellectual) is the basis of forming a relationship – sex is just what you do with whoever you picked up after the club closes. Oh, wait a sec, does that make me an immoral, godless, liberal Islamofascist? Probably – Yay! Islamofascists have way more fun!

    Sexual orientation: whatever. [Actually I'm straight, but I get taken as being gay - by guys and girls - all the time and I'm not put off by it. I did give "the other team" the good college try and it wasn't for me. Oh well, a point against my Islamofascistness]
    Marital status: very happily single
    BMI: Not grossly obese, but I do have a bit of a gut that I’m in the process of working off. No more beer for me, now its just hard liquor (a lot less calories before you pass out)
    Hygiene: Very good.

    I might be hella old, but this whole team dealio is lost on me. Maybe it’s just ’cause I have never been one who could “play nice” with others.

    It’s just me. Not much of an army but most definitely a team of one.

    Sexual Orientation: At this point, why bother?

    Marital status: When I was a child I burned my hand on a hot stove. Know what? I didn’t put my hand on a hot stove ever again. Those who do not remember the past and all.

    BMI: You can tell what you need to know just by lookin.

    Personal Hygiene: When you’ve had to shit outdoors, you develop an appreciation for soap and water…

    Happy Merry. Time for my nap…

    “Can’t be a Seinfeld thing. I know what it is, and I’ve never seen Seinfeld.”

    Maybe, but Seinfeld-isms have infected all aspects of our culture today (part of the Islamofascist conspiracy no doubt).

    Or maybe I just suck. I do know that the first time I came across the whole “team” notion regarding sexual orientation was from Seinfeld.

  33. STH said,

    December 26, 2007 at 0:34

    I used to be able to have fairly casual sex when I was young and dumb(er), but it doesn’t have much appeal for me now . . . nowadays I have to love the person I’m with. The down side of that, of course, is that you tend to have looooooooooonnnggg dry spells.

  34. a different brad said,

    Open question:
    Does a lack of sentimentality for the season on my part reflect getting old, the non-Xmasyness of southern Florida (it is almost 80 out), having been single far too long, or my mostly successful attempt to retreat from retail society?
    Even Pee-Wee’s Xmas special barely gets my inner child going.
    I don’t mean tell me who I am, guess I’m just lookin to compare notes.

    “Does a lack of sentimentality for the season on my part reflect getting old, the non-Xmasyness of southern Florida (it is almost 80 out), having been single far too long, or my mostly successful attempt to retreat from retail society?”

    My guess would the the last one as if you remove the retail element – and aren’t particularly religious – there isn’t much to the holiday. Of course I was raised Jewish so what the hell do I know?

    BTW: We’re having a pretty solid snow storm here (Denver) and my balcony has drifts a foot deep on it. I guess those “Progressive Wingnuts” (well, if liberals are fascist, doesn’t that mean conservatives are progressives? Oh, never mind; it is just plain stupid to try to apply Goldbergian logic to the real world.) seeking a “White Christmas” will be quite satisfied here.

    Turtles have a rich inner life!

    Given this (inside?) information, my Xmas wish is that all Wingnuts, Reichtards, Talibangelicals, and Glibertarians are transformed into turtles, thereby enjoying the benefits of a rich inner life — or in the Pantload’s case, any inner life not involving intestines — for the first time EVAR.

    Happy Merry Whichever to all Sadlynauts, and many more to follow. The dogs & cats have had their “for not abusing the decorated tree in the house” special dessert (baby food pureed chicken), and the Spousal Unit is waiting to take me out to dinner.

    Sometimes, it’s good to be old & settled & bourgeouis, or faking it.

    Check out World O’Crap’s Christmas story, that’ll cheer you up. My 10 year old daughter had “THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!” and most of her gifts were inexpensive Harry Potter accessories from ebay. Ya never know. I got a treadmill (my request!) and a Kathleen Battle CD. Yay Me. Spent all day yesterday making cookies, then neglected to cover them up… they were a BIT stale in the morning. So I stuck them in zip locks with a pieceof fresh bread. I hope that’ll freshen them. Works for brown sugar.

    Happy Christmas.

    Nah, waaay predates Seinfeld. Might be a New Yorkism, though. Seinfeld had a way of popularizing those, much to my dismay. I had to stop saying “Yadda, yadda, yadda” years ago because of that.

    My favorite use of it was by a very charming lass I know, who, after getting a rather short new haircut asked me if it was too dykey, quipping “Just because I’m wearing the hat, doesn’t mean I play for the team.” Bless her heart.

    I’ll take your word for it, though I have to admit I thought it was a Seinfeldism, like “master of your domain” and so forth. Now you can see why I had to get rid of my TV a few years ago, that shit just sticks in your head like gumdrops in your teeth.

    Diff Brad, are you saying that there are people who don’t have their own set of equipment at home? Mine’s never even come off by accident.

    Just back from the big family Christmas meeting, with the cake and food, playing poker, drinking beer, battles with the Jesus loving faction and my police officer uncle telling us all about the newest crimes and scams and how they can’t even do some simple telephone surveillances cause they have no money left at the end of the quarter.

    All those good, heartwarming, christmasy things. Hope you all had something equally enjoyable.

    That shitheel Santa didn’t bring me the new computer (or at least new hard drive) I need to return to the world of broadband. I am rendered virtually deaf & mute.

    Just to play along:
    Sexual Orientation: Anhedonic, but yes, if you insist. (Sorry dudes, insistent ladies only.)
    Marital Status: Ancient, & never been even close.
    BMI: Or ASCAP. Whatever. (Really: 15 kgs. over what medical Nazis say I shuold be.)
    Hygeine: Shower once a week, even if I don’t need to.
    Political/Social Orientation: Anti-Fascist, Anti-Bourgeois.

    I’m going to take a shower now to improve my hygeine, & then go out & eat pizza w/ my last two friends, both of whom are as depressed as I am. (Hoosier X: One of them is Mr. Peabody (Larry) who used to co-habit w/ us on Franklin Ave., lo those many yrs. ago.) Ho. Ho. Ho.

    Can we get a standardized set of tags next to our names that indicate our sexual orientation, marital status, body mass index, and views on personal hygiene?

    Oh, well, here goes:

    Sexual orientation: well, I’ve only ever bonked blokes, although I’m willing to try women (never turn down a root, is the common Aussie wisdom). I’ve been mainly attracted to blokes, although there are one or two women who make me all wibbly.

    Marital status: I prefer Caveat’s interpretation of ‘martial status’. Whatever, I’m single (sob), and havn’t even got a leg over this century. Well, barring one ultimately unsatisfying and humorous encounter with an old friend that resulted in me having a CAT scan. Martial status, well, I’m ready to practice my spinning back kick, although given that I haven’t done it for several years, I’m more liable to spend the next 3 months in traction.

    BMI: chocolate and cat fur.

    Personal hygiene: I bathe. Regularly. Also trim my claws and brush my teeth. Have had a couple of younger men who weren’t so keen on the whole dental hygiene thing, at least to begin with, and that’s kind of icky. So yes, I’m wholly in favour of bathing and grooming. I am, after all, a cat. We have very high standards about bathing. Except that I don’t lick my own arse. No thank you, I’ll leave that for other, more furry, cats.

    MzNicky, thanks for the link to buffalobeast. Those were hilarious. I’m celebrating (?) the non-holiday by working; just sitting here reading and waiting for the next c-section to happen, or not.
    ADB, I think being around kids makes Christmas more Christmasy. I’ve been out of the spirit for years now ‘cuz there are no younguns to share it with. My son is all grows up and just doesn’t get as excited as he used to. Plus, he and the wife usually go to GA to be w/her folks. Ergo, I work for the OT and crisis pay and gift certificate of my choice! Everyone brought goodies today, so my normally okay BMI is artificially inflated by cookies and pie and rice-krispy treats.
    Sexual orientation: doesn’t matter. Politics: Hemorrhagic heart liberal
    Personal hygiene: yes
    Merry Christmas to all!

    Me, GDog, PanzerColumn, ViagraBoy and LivRHed was woofing down our Christmas feast of Moore eyeballs and roast Steisand breast and plotting the slow maiming and torture of Hitlery when we happened across this atrocity. The homo SadlyNaughts worrin’ about their sexual orentation and worshipping Judge Reinhold. Dingl3berry, FatHed, TP, BM, BaboonAss, Thud, and Septictanc was all ready to go over there and troll but then we got distracted by the box of hollowpoints that PussBall got in his sock and Melvin’s got a choice Walker Texas Ranger Christmas Show recorderd on the VCR.

    I was in a good mood last night – might have just been the codeine cough syrup talking – but I’m really out of sorts today. Sick of this cough, sick of my empathy challenged oh so comfortable relatives, sick of the libertarian assholes who spew nonsense on other sites I frequent, sick of Bush and sick of American society in general. I don’t get this way often, but when I do, I get really crotchety. Oh, well, I’ll get over it. Harumph.

    Sexual orientation: Adult humans.
    Politics: Lefter (I don’t think that’s a word but I don’t care) and lefter every day.
    Personal hygiene: Just a tad short of compulsive in this regard, both with personal and household hygiene, but I’m trying to relax a bit. The bad condition of my knees has made me slow down somewhat with the floor scrubbing and whatnot.
    BMI: Regular.
    Marital status: Single but in LTR.
    Age: 46 but look a lot younger, according to my friends and partner, who would of course never lie to me.

    Pappy was standing in front of him. “Did you have a good time visiting with your overweight pasty ‘rents in godforsaken commie Florida”, asked Pappy.
    a different brad looked up at the man, “I got a tan.” Pappy laughed so hard a differnet brad was sure he felt a tetonic plate quiver.
    And then gCat, MonkeyBoi, CornHo, Goatse and TMkvie skinned him alive, peed on his grave and made tea cozeys from his tan supple flesh and sold them for next to nothing to iowa housewives on ebay.

  82. Lesley said,

    December 26, 2007 at 6:44

    Gbear, they’re in good company.

    So many favourites on that list but these hit the mark:

    2. Dick Cheney

    So openly horrible, he now makes jokes about being Darth Vader. Unashamedly advocating for executive abuse of power and corporate theft. In and out of public office since his congressional internship during the Nixon Administration. Didn’t care about the quagmire he foresaw in ’94, because since then he’d deftly maneuvered to profit from it. Polling lower than HPV.

    Exhibit A: His Halliburton stock rose 3000% in 2007. No joke.

    Punishment: Raped by the sun.

    1. George W. Bush

    Charges: Is it a civil rights milestone to have a retarded president? Maybe it would be, if he were ever legitimately elected. You can practically hear the whole nation holding its breath, hoping this guy will just fucking leave come January ’09 and not declare martial law. Only supporters left are the ones who would worship a fucking turnip if it promised to kill foreigners. Is so clearly not in charge of his own White House that his feeble attempts to define himself as “decider” or “commander guy” are the equivalent of a five-year-old kid sitting on his dad’s Harley and saying “vroom vroom!” Has lost so many disgusted staffers that all he’s left with are the kids from Jesus Camp. The first president who is so visibly stupid he can say “I didn’t know what was in the National Intelligence Estimate until last week” and sound plausible. Inarguably a major criminal and a much greater threat to the future of America than any Muslim terrorist.

    Exhibit A: “And there is distrust in Washington. I am surprised, frankly, at the amount of distrust that exists in this town. And I’m sorry it’s the case, and I’ll work hard to try to elevate it.”

    Sentence: Dismembered, limbs donated to injured veterans.

    and this one, because even though I don’t agree with all the swipes, there’s enough that’s true to make it deserving

    9. You

    Charges: You believe in freedom of speech, until someone says something that offends you. You suddenly give a damn about border integrity, because the automated voice system at your pharmacy asked you to press 9 for Spanish. You cling to every scrap of bullshit you can find to support your ludicrous belief system, and reject all empirical evidence to the contrary. You know the difference between patriotism and nationalism — it’s nationalism when foreigners do it. You hate anyone who seems smarter than you. You care more about zygotes than actual people. You love to blame people for their misfortunes, even if it means screwing yourself over. You still think Republicans favor limited government. Your knowledge of politics and government are dwarfed by your concern for Britney Spears’ children. You think buying Chinese goods stimulates our economy. You think you’re going to get universal health care. You tolerate the phrase “enhanced interrogation techniques.” You think the government is actually trying to improve education. You think watching CNN makes you smarter. You think two parties is enough. You can’t spell. You think $9 trillion in debt is manageable. You believe in an afterlife for the sole reason that you don’t want to die. You think lowering taxes raises revenue. You think the economy’s doing well. You’re an idiot.

    Exhibit A: You couldn’t get enough Anna Nicole Smith coverage.

    Sentence: A gradual decline into abject poverty as you continue to vote against your own self-interest. Death by an easily treated disorder that your health insurance doesn’t cover. You deserve it, chump.

    Crimes: If Fox News isn’t quite asinine enough for you, just click on over to Headline News, where the CNN brand is eagerly defiling its vestigial credibility by giving an hour a day to the dumbest dumbfuck in dumbfuckistan, Glenn Beck.

    Same here. No cable and I’m still using indoor rabbit ears for my TV reception. I googled it but all the boycott sites that came up were almost a year old. Went to the BB site and typed Glenn Beck into the search window and all that came up was, strangely, the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey. Was Beck the Star Child in that movie?

  92. gbear said,

    December 26, 2007 at 7:46

    I worked at a place that used Geek Squad to do some computer routing for us when the Geeks were still a small independent. The tech service we got wasn’t worth much so I wasn’t a fan of them anyway. I can’t even remember the cars they were driving back then, but they were usually geeky used cars. Best Buy probably isn’t very hip about anything outside of the box.

  93. Felix Moronia said,

    I can recommend some good tv, if CBC’s Intelligence is available in the US.

    The director recently announced that the CBC plans to can it for poor ratings (which is bullshit because they’ve done very little to promote the show). The CBC is always at the beck and call of high level government bureaucrats and I expect they’ve been told to axe it because the subject matter hits a little too close to home. (Too much NAFTA and deep integration bashing at a time when the gov’t is trying to market the idea of border disintegration, a single currency, and…essentially the end of Canada as a sovereign country.)

    Hell, even a former US spy recommends it

    I was in BB on friday to buy a flash drive to rescue the pictures and letters from my failing computer. I buy small stuff there but that’s it. I wound up buying The Hives new CD there because it had a special BB bonus track on it (that plus I am hopelessly addicted to the riff in Tick Tick Boom). Later in the weekend I found out that my very cool independent record store (The Electric Fetus) had the Hives CD with a special Independent Record Store bonus track that was different from the BB bonus track. I was pissed. I bet The Fetus’s bonus track is a LOT cooler.

    gbear–didn’t realize that about BB. I logged onto a local network station’s website as usual to check the weather yesterday though, and there was a fucking ad for John Hagee Ministries at the top! Then, when I went to the comment page to complain and state that I wouldn’t be coming back there, there was ANOTHER John Hagee Ministries ad below the field you write your complaint in! Unfuckingbelievable! And him photoshopped so that he looks as large as the whole planet (where he is supposedly going to deliver the entire Gospel to–note to Hagee: you may be getting fatter and fatter, but you ain’t no Santa).

    That breaks my routine though. I already boycott so many people locally it’s absurd though. Anyone tied to land development projects, my dollar is my vote as they say.
