‘Twas the night before Glib-Mas, and, purged of endorphins,
Not a creature was stirring – not even the orphans.
Booby traps and alarms were set, in fear
That old rapist STEVE SMITH might decide to appear.
The Glib Ones were nestled, each snug in their bunk,
Each Glib Girl and Anarchist, and reg’lar old punk.
Both I and my mistress, who looked really super,
Were succumbing to an alcoholic stupor.
When, all of a sudden, ere I could rebuke,
Our Glib-house was hit with the force of a nuke!
(I exaggerate, of course, but still, I was shook up
And upset at the interruption of my hook-up.)
I ran to the window and threw open the pane.
Dark clouds had gathered, the moonlight did wane –
And above the night wind’s blistering howl,
I heard a voice; no, it was more of a growl:
“ALL OF YOU TROLLS, BE READY FOR TAKEOFF!
STEVE SMITH GO IN HERE, THEN WE WILL MAKE OFF
WITH THEIR GIFTS AND PRESENTS AND CHRISTMAS BOOTY –
ALL TROLL FLIGHT CREWS ATTEND TO YOUR DUTY!”
I cowered in fear, for from childhood I knew
Of the legend of STEVE SMITH and his murderous crew –
Eight ugly trolls pulled his magical sled;
The very sight of them filled grown men with dread.
I stood frozen in fear, stuck right to the floor
And heard massive footprints approaching my door;
Then, at the last moment, dived back of a chair –
My door was kicked open, and then, standing there
Was STEVE SMITH, in all of his horrible glory,
His dank body hair matted and gory.
He possessed two incredibly bloodshot eyes;
Oh, and a phallus of enormous size.
The creature turned and gave me a wink,
And just as I was beginning to think
That I was a goner, now it appeared
Perhaps things would not be quite as I feared.
Instead, he turned his attention to see
All of the Glib-gifts under the tree.
Then it hit me like a clap of thunder –
His purpose and intention to plunder!
All the things we had bought, he stuffed into a sack,
Our unopened presents, he proceeded to pack.
All of the firearms, sex toys, and lube,
Our home-brew kits, our blow-up dolls – hey, rube!
This was our whole holiday he was stealing,
But as I stood there, I had the feeling
That if I tried to stop him, he’d pound me, I knew
Into a greasy little pile of goo.
So while I stood cowering, tame as a mouse,
The creature went all about the house
Taking all that he wanted; why, he even took
Every Ayn Rand and Hayek and Mises book.
When he was finally done, he heaved a great sigh,
And again fixed me with a bloodshot eye.
Though the beast seemed to be in a jovial mood
I had only one thought: Holy crap, I am screwed.
But as I stood there trembling, my mouth agape,
The monster assured me: “DON’T WORRY, NO RAPE –
STEVE SMITH EXHAUSTED AFTER LONG NIGHT OF THEFT.
ALMOST FEEL SORRY, YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT.
BUT REMEMBER THIS: GLIB-MAS NOT ABOUT EARTHLY THINGS
BUT FREEDOM AND ALL THE JOY THAT IT BRINGS.”
With that he stepped out, with his large pack fumbling,
To his sled and his slave-trolls all a-grumbling.
Within moments the over-burdened sleigh
Rose into the sky, and then away –
Leaving only a horrible stink.
“No one will believe this,” I started to think.
I was up the rest of the night explaining;
I really don’t think I deserved the caning.
Ah, well. As STEVE SMITH said, as he vanished from sight,
”MERRY GLIB-MAS TO ALL! AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!”
Big thanks to CPRM for the Christmas special!
I’ll try to join GlibZoom, but may be late. No cold opening tonight, but I encourage others to work on theirs.
Thanks for all the love (and hate!) here and in my mailbox. You people rock.
I’m doing fancy tonight…I gotta fond the sparkliest thing I own
Sparkle, Kristen, sparkle!

Bravo!!!
BUT REMEMBER THIS: GLIB-MAS NOT ABOUT EARTHLY THINGS
BUT FREEDOM AND ALL THE JOY THAT IT BRINGS.

Freedom!

Yep, that would be about right for total deaths between now and then.
When was it that they weren’t just making shit up?
January?
No, they were just making up different shit, about different shit. Russians, mostly.
January? Of course the prediction is to mid-January, because after January 20th they’ll use a different definition, and daily “deaths due to covid” will miraculously plummet, because we finally have the right people in charge who will save us all.
TC over at Marginal Revolution is defending him. Apparently, Fauci’s changing pronouncements are very “Straussian.”
I still don’t know what people like TC mean by “Straussian.”

“A Visit from St. Nicholas” is one of the most parodied pieces ever written – more than 1,000 versions have been penned by professional writers and amateurs alike. Here are a few of them, but rest assured there’s a version out there for just about any profession or interest you can think of.
1. My personal favorite: the Hemingway-inspired version by writer James Thurber. It first appeared in The New Yorker in 1927.
Sample text: “It was the night before Christmas. The house was very quiet. No creatures were stirring in the house. There weren’t even any mice stirring. The stockings had been hung carefully by the chimney. The children hoped that Saint Nicholas would come and fill them. The children were in their beds. Their beds were in the room next to ours. Mamma and I were in our beds. Mamma wore a kerchief. I had my cap on. I could hear the children moving. We didn’t move. We wanted the children to think we were asleep.”

8. A Pirate’s Night Before Christmas by Philip Yates.
Sample text: “When out in the mist thar arose such a racket, I slid down the mast with me sword to attack it.
Away to the poop deck I ran very fast, I threw off the anchor and shouted ‘Avast!'”

They tried, but the dead, those voting multiple times, those ineligible to vote (not citizens) and machine algorithms overruled them.

“Picnic traces back to the meal they’d prepare when going to witness a lynching”. Something along those lines. Seriously.
So, so stupid.
Danke.
I have never heard that. I’ll be shocked if there is any truth to the supposed history of the word. And thanks for explaining.
Probably as truthful as a boulder being racist at University of Wisconsin.
That is one of the most asinine things I’ve seen yet. And to top it off, it’s not enough to only remove it; the empty space left behind will be a terrible reminder of the boulder’s racism. The horror can only be reversed by spending money to create some sort of monument to not-white people.

Kim was XXY, so I’m sure the trans crowd would give her an exception.

NOTHING LEFT TO CUT
“n the 21st century, twelve years of school isn’t enough. That’s why under the Biden-Harris plan, community college will be free — and public colleges and universities will be tuition-free for families earning less than $125,000 a year.”
https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1341931601060454401
twelve years of school isn’t enough
Fuck. Off.
12 years is about 3 years too many for basic competence to get an entry level low-skill job, IMO.
And yet, the average college graduate today couldn’t pass the Harvard Entrance Exam from 1869.
Making community college free is extra dumb. It’s already substantially cheaper than 4-year college and serves as a good test of whether you’ll be able to handle the workload before you possibly waste lots of money and time.
Not to mention an easy way to pick up skills or training later in life. Can you go back to middle school or high school?
Next up will to extend compulsory education to Grade 16. And down to preschool.
For things like cooking, art, languages and even plumbing and car repair, look for community ed.
“free”
And 125K a year families can afford to send their kids to college if they want. Get fucked you old fool.
It’s Education Inflation.
80 years ago, a high school diploma was pretty good and would get you a nice industrial job with the opportunity to move up with experience.
200 years ago an elementary education was adequate for middle class status
1000 years ago, be able to write was top-notch
In another 100 years, you’ll need a PhD to be a babysitter
I would say the world has changed. If you can’t read, life will be very hard for you. But there has been a lot of credential inflation. A receptionist at a motel doesn’t need a college degree. A legal secretary might – certainly needs some training.
Heck, most of the employees at our company in starting positions, essentially doing secretarial work, have Masters degrees.
A legal secretary might
Nope.
certainly needs some training.
Yep. This is the issue, right? It’s just assumed that a credential (bachelor’s degree) == trainable. There’s no basis for that, especially when looking at some of the common degrees that legal secretaries have (English, psychology, education, etc.). There’s nothing in those degree paths that make them particularly better at secretarial work than some 19 year old with a GED. The only reason that that credential is important is the cultural assumption over the last 30+ years that anybody dependable enough to work such a job had gone to college.
Very nice. Insert standing ovation .gif here.

A timeless holiday classic.
NY gym owner gets a Christmas present
An Orchard Park gym will be allowed to open at 100 percent capacity after being granted a preliminary injunction by a New York State Supreme Court judge.
The Honorable Paul B. Wojtaszek issued the oral ruling on Wednesday, said attorney Paul Cambria, who is representing the gym Athletes Unleashed.
2 On Your Side has submitted a transcript request with the court clerk’s office.
“This is a huge win,” Athletes Unleashed owner Robbie Dinero said.
“The fact that the precedent has been set that we can open at full capacity, so long as we abide by the safety guidelines and protocols that do work, that’s a huge win.”
Wednesday’s ruling only addresses the state’s 25 percent gym capacity limit, which Cambria argued was arbitrary and capricious. While not meant to diminish the COVID-19 pandemic, the judge said his ruling rather respected a “right to normalcy.”
There are multiple cases about the PA restaurant shut down. Here is an update about the one in Federal court. Unfortunately, it is not going well.
Saying the edict doesn’t violate the U.S. Constitution, a federal judge Wednesday refused a plea by two midstate restaurants and a local trade association to block Gov. Tom Wolf from enforcing his temporary COVID-19 related ban on indoor dining at restaurants.
U.S. Middle District Judge Christopher C. Conner stressed that he understands the economic pain the dine-in prohibition is causing. Still, he concluded his court cannot intervene in the absence of a civil rights violation which the Hershey Independent Restaurant Association and the owners of the Fenicci’s of Hershey and The River House Bar & Grill failed to demonstrate.
the absence of a civil rights violation
You have the right to cast an almost meaningless vote, to voice approved thoughts on approved platforms, and of course you have the right to petition the government for more handouts. But beyond that, the state has rights not you, peasant.
I’d run that case all the way to SCOTUS, rather than let some jackass appointed by Bush Jr. to prevail.
Sounds like Steve Smith got a gig with the IRS.
Nah; Steve will put the plunder to better use than the IRS would.
Chemistry nerds – how does a molecule of sulfur dioxide compare to the size of a COVID? I was just watching an update on Kilauea and they were saying the masks were not effective for “vog”, and that struck me as…odd. I just kind of assumed the components of “vog” would be bigger than a virus.
probably the question is what kind of mask are we talking about . . . do they mean “respirator?”
No – they were saying the Hawaii Dept of Health said the usual COVID masks are ineffectual for the vog
I’m probably too out of touch to understand what they mean. What most people are wearing are wovens: they can’t stop any gases, so that couldn’t possibly be what they mean. Even N95 are meant to stop particles . . . meaning solids/dusts.
What could they possibly mean?
https://youtu.be/NQgBRGD8IoU?t=212
Hmmmm. Only been to the Big once, but when we experienced vog while I was there, I kept thinking the only thing that might stop it would be the organic solvent masks I used to wear when I worked in a furniture warehouse and did lots of Scotch-garding of couches etc. Those suckers largely seemed to work at the molecular level. (They also restricted the amount of oxygen you got through the mask, to the point where you’d get “high” not from solvent inhalation, but from anoxia. You usually had to be pulled from the spray-station by a supervisor who could recognize the signs.)
Viruii are about 10nm, Sulfur particles should be bigger IIRC,

“Hunter Biden’s Amtrak Grift
Americans were led to believe Hunter Biden did not profit from Amtrak at all after his father became Vice President in 2009.
But the truth is he did.
It’s hyperbolic for some corner of the internet to claim Hunter Biden made $1.76 million off of Amtrak. AP was completely right to fact-check that. However in their effort to debunk the narrative AP missed the mark. From July 2006 to February 2009 the outlet claims “Amtrak paid Biden a total of $32,850, which represents per diem fees paid for attending 43 board meetings.”
I’m here to tell you the AP was wrong. The mainstream narrative that Hunter Biden’s relationship with Amtrak ended solely there is wrong. Hunter’s paycheck from Amtrak related business is in the six figure range, not five. To prove it I have a digital paper trail of emails from the infamous hard drive from hell. The leak of Hunter Biden’s files that kicked off the public scrutiny of his business dealings in the first place.
Here’s a taste of what I’ll go over….”

Sorry. I hope you don’t show symptoms. If you do, I hope they are short-lived.

Bailey’s.
Better news – Unexpected holiday bonus at work. I’m thinking about cheering myself up with another CZ Shadow 2-OR…
Hmm…. sounds like a good plan.
No symptoms. Also, no Baileys. Closest thing in the booze stockpile is a little bottle of Kahlua. I do have plenty of whiskey and brandy, including a bottle of 7-year-old Applejack, hmm…
Apparently there’s no non-boozified eggnog to be found in my zip code. Do I attempt a half-assed version with my own ingredients (milk, eggs, spices, and booze)? Or say fukkit and just have a G&T?
Why would your version be half-assed? That’s exactly what goes into egg nog.
No cream
Do you have evaporated milk?
hhmmm…I don’t think so. Just regular. At least it’s whole!
Well, that would do.
Do you have cider? You could make a wassail which would be appropriate. If not, it sounds like you’ve got the ingredients for Alton Brown’s Eggnog recipe.
Otherwise, hot buttered rum could work as well.
I have non-alcoholic sparkling cider, gin, rye, & Tennessee Honey. May the TN Honey would work in the cider.
That egg nog recipe looks scrumptious, but I alone can’t drink that much and I’m the only one in the house who likes egg nog.
IIRC, you can cut down the recipe into individual servings. The issue then is the hassle that it takes to make a single drink.
It is sooooooooooo good, but it’s also rich enough to float a Krugerrand in.
I think that would make my sinuses clog up for days.
MMMMmmm. GnT.
Well, a G&T is always an acceptable answer.
But I’m about to make a Cinnamon Bourbon Flip (cinnamon-infused bourbon, amaretto, a raw egg, and nutmeg) myself. That’s a legit cocktail and not half-assed at all.
DblEagle’s eggnog recipe is amazeballs.

Yes, it is that time of the year that Americans are forced to spend quality time with babbling senile folks.
I’ve been assured by some of my progressive friends that they still listen to Fauci’s advice because he’s pretty much been right about everything since this began in February.
When you’re the one writing the narrative, it’s easy to be right all the time.
Motherfucker is 80. WHY IS HE STILL WORKING????
Fuckin bureaucrats
He’s been in the same position (head of the NIH subunit NIAID) for 36 years. He’s suffering from Hyman Rickover/J Edgar Hoover disease and likewise will not leave voluntarily.
I’m generally in favor of longer tenures and against the fly by night job hopping going on, but that is way too long and is poisonous to the organization to be in that top spot for so long.
He’s also symptomatic of the problem with modern public health (aside from the wokeness). The experience is almost entirely shaped by AIDS and epidemics in Third World countries. There’s a paternalism and nannyism that’s totally infected their thinking. Those dumb fags/wogs need to do what we tell them.
I sometimes see dodderers around the agency where I work, and I always think “WTF are you doing here? Take your government pension that you were eligible for 20 years ago and enjoy what’s left of your life”.
WHY IS HE STILL WORKING?
Some people feel like there is nothing else if there is not work. Some people feel like there is nothing else if there is not power. I think we know which side Fauxchi is on.
partly on his gut feeling that the U.S. is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.
What he thinks. What his puppet masters told him to say. Tomayto. Tomahto.

I made a steak with a red wine pan sauce. Came out perfect, melt in your mouth. Now I’m too full.
Oh yum!
Good work.
Dinner.
Christmas cat.
I checked on the tracking Santa thingy. Nothing has changed in 20 years (or more…) but now I see a blueish covering on Santa’s face. I am sure that is necessary for a mythical being and does not restrict breathing in the cold and dampness of the atmosphere. It appears that the convid propaganda runs deep.
Cute kitty
The food looks good.
The cat is cute.
Uncle’s Rock
Nice. Is that Michelle Obama’s relatively attractive younger sister?
I laughed, recognized myself and cried, then laughed some more.
I’m buying a Toyota.
Going to grill some fresh caught mahi mahi in a couple of hours. (We saw no whales but caught a nice fish today.) I have a decent French vouvray chillimg.
I’ll video in with the kids and grandkids around 8:30 since they’ll be opening presents in Germany. I’ll have some of my aged nog with the call.
Best holiday wishes to you all!
Massively simply done christmas song. The first shows real emotion and I kill the video before the second song which I have hated for many a year.
