I Got A Lot Of Problems With You People
— Dave in Texas

And now you're gonna hear about it. You! DrewM. My mom says your historical references STINK!

We've all waited for this special time of year. We've nurtured our grudges and disappointments for twelve miserable months while the economy and the job market got snuffed, and our government brought the Curse of Maxine Waters to life by taking over everything from GM to the largest insurance company in America. We've had weeks of nasty back-room political arm-twisting to shove this mess called Health Care Reform to Obama's desk.

We are pissed, so lets air some grievances. I'll start. You people disappointed the hell out of me this year. Google your own doggone cheerleader pics why don't you? I put up a post a few weeks ago to give you all some place to comment on the games and it wasn't good enough because it didn't have a cheerleader. It was like watching Katrina refugees streaming out of New Orleans all over again.

Don't even get me started on Twitter. I got problems with you people too.

UPDATE FROM LAURAW:
Yeah, this is the Festivus post. Festivus is a time to gather together your family, your friends, and your most precious Morons. And tell them all how they've disappointed you in the past year.

On a more serious note, 2009 fucking sucked in so many ways it's hard to even catalogue them. All the misfortunes visited upon family and friends, and even personal losses of both...I hope we're all never again so happy to put a year of life in the rearview mirror.

2010 just has to be better.

“After weeks of closed-door clandestine negotiations, Senator Reid finally emerged with a 383-page Christmas list. This bill is a dark example of everything that is wrong with Washington today. Despite all the promises of accountability and transparency, this bill is a grab bag of Chicago-style, back-room buy-offs. It is nothing more than a private game of Let’s Make A Deal with special interest groups financed by American taxpayers.” — Sen. Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) on the Senate floor.

Probably 95 percent of the people in this world because nobody had to endure what I’ve been through, situations I’ve been put in, situations I put myself in and decisions I have made, whether they have been good or bad." Fuck you sideways Michael Vick and your poor me attitude...guess what? You are a sorry excuse for a human. You are a sociopathic piece of shit. I hope you get your leg snapped in half..soon.

I get to spend Friday with my basket-case in-the-thick-of-menopause mother and my sister, whose intervention didn't stick (in large part because my mom enables her). My dad's on my side, but he has to live with them so he stays quiet. I'm bringing a thermos of coffee for myself, and I'm seriously considering adding Kaluha. It might help with the "why won't you apologize for what you said to your sister a couple weeks ago" guilt trips.

I'm only telling you guys this because I can't say it anywhere else. My mom knows my blog URL and my Twitter feed. Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Plus it's going to freezing rain.

Bah.  Freakin.  Hum.  Bug.

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list — I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!
There's the pestilential nuisances who write for autographs Â—
All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs Â—
All children who are up in dates, and floor you with 'em flat Â—
All persons who in shaking hands, shake hands with you like that Â—
And all third persons who on spoiling tête-á-têtes insist Â—
They'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed!

There's the banjo serenader, and the others of his race,
And the piano-organist — I've got him on the list!
And the people who eat peppermint and puff it in your face,
They never would be missed — they never would be missed!
Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone,
All centuries but this, and every country but his own;
And the lady from the provinces, who dresses like a guy,
And who "doesn't think she dances, but would rather like to try";
And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist Â—
I don't think she'd be missed — I'm sure she'd not be missed!

And that Nisi Prius nuisance, who just now is rather rife,
The Judicial humorist — I've got him on the list!
All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life Â—
They'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed.
And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind,
Such as — What d'ye call him — Thing'em-bob, and likewise Â— Never-mind,
And 'St— 'st— 'st— and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who Â—
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you.
But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed!

Posted by: GregInSeattle at December 23, 2009 12:19 PM (B5cM9)

126 A couple weeks ago, some friends of mine decided to stage a party for no other reason than it was halfway between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  "Thanxmas," as it was called, featured shitloads of Thanksgiving food and also presents, mistletoe, candy canes, etc.

So I've come to the conclusion that Thanxmas kicks Festivus's ass, and you all are fools for continuing to celebrate a made-up holiday where Jerry Stiller wrestles people underneath a metal pole.  I realize I have a made-up holiday, too, but at least it has turkey AND frosted cookies.

Dumbasses.

wth?  All parents must understand the importance of pron, even if they mock it!

It's not just that I can't get it on with someone else, Father,  Mother, it's just that...I need pron, more than air or food!  The paper-thin plots, the "actresses" (or "actors", if you like that), the sets, and the trademark music all go together well in a good Skinemax flick like bread and butter. 

Except if there's David Hasselhoff in it, then it's like dead skunk and dog feces.

 Maurice Strong was a slime ball from the Trudeau era. When the Liberals tried to nationalize the oil patch, it put 100k Albertans out of work. Ole hands in the till, Strong got a cool million for the purchase of three overpriced oil companies. It was all taxpayer money.

 Oil for Food was a Strong idea. Two Liberal prime ministers got away with millions. Strong, was now a UN bigshot and became a spokesidiot for Glowbull Worming. I keep saying he's gonna get caught, but it never happens.

 

 Randolph the brown nosed reindeer trained with Rudolph. Idiotic questions, idiotic statements - a real clutz. One Xmas eve,he was positined behind Rudoph, so as to keep him out of trouble. Rudolph made a quick left and Randolph went straight ahead. Thus the moniker. 

Merry Xmas.

Posting on and reading this blog in 2009 has been just like the holacoust.

 

Maybe just like it without the ovens and maybe AoSHQ was more humorous, other than that just like it.

218 Everybody makes fun of "federal bureaucrats", but there are plenty of competent, hard-working feds who end up having to wait around for hours and hours for some Senatrix's office to get around to actually specifying which statistics are Needed Right Now (but could have waited for the morning, but this is a Senatrix we're talking about).  So competent, hard-working fed has to stay late waiting for the request to actually arrive, then has to decipher said request, then deliver numbers to the Very Important Senatrix, and finally gets to leave three hours late, which means an extra ninety minutes slogging through stupid DC traffic and getting home after the kids are already in bed, and Mrs Fed has to take the kids to the Cub Scout meeting.

And dammit, this is a piss-poor grievance compared to grievances of soldiers' wives who have to go to the stupid Cub Scout meetings for months and months AND have to figure out how to help their Cub Scouts make a Pinewood Derby car because their husbands are stuck in Afghanistan waiting around for The Won to decide what he wants to do there, but it's the best I've got.

Let's see.

2009; In a nutshell.

My daughter lost her job and moved back home.

Severe and sudden heart failure which damned near led to death but instead lead to an otherwise healthy 43 year having a bi-ventricular pacemaker/ICD implanted.

The diagnosis of my mother's alzheimers.

Placed my mother in a nursing home (while recovering from heart failure)

The diagnosis of a massive cancer in my mother's abdomen.

The screwing I took at work from my new boss.

Betrayal by my best friend and co-worker which actually led to an HR incident

And, finally, the death of my mother from liver failure.

Let's throw some financial difficulties into the mix and well...Yeah. It's been a pissy fucking year.

I would say my allotment of bad times has been paid in full but that seems too much like wishing someone else would have their share and, well, I don't think I could wish that on anyone.

So, Happy Festivus, morons.

Don't cross me, or I swear, I'll pass on my back juju to you.

A positive first, I'm home from my family visit and thanks to copious quantities of alcohol I survived it.

My grievances include the Seattle Seahawks, whomever put saltpeter in the water in Seattle, taking my shoes off at security and stepping in a puddle of wet, the word "funemployment", the fact the media is still spinning how wonderful the US is under Obama when it's nothing but bullshit, people who go overboard trying to save the environment, and my sister's perfect wrap jobs on presents.

Oh, and the big one, nobody I know sends Christmas cards anymore and that's a damn shame, so curse you Facebook, Twitter, and all the other social media sites that have ruined the chance to open your physical mailbox and see a letter or card amongst the bills and junk mail.

Thank you, Butcher and Whow Knows.

The funny thing is, I can see blessings in so much of what happened.

My mom had 24 hour care in her final months and met a man at the nursing home and had daily companionship even when we couldn't be there. And, knowing that she was dying allowed us to say those things we'd wanted to say and to let go of the anger so that we could truly love her these past few months and weeks.

My heart failure occurred at the time my daughter lost her job which meant she was by my side, and my mother's, each and every day throughout my recovery. She traveled about 60-80 miles each day between hospitals where my mother and I were located. She couldn't have done that were she employed full-time.

As for the work situation, I now know that what happened was best because a promotion would not have allowed the flexibility I've had in spending time with my mother.

Another thing happened which can only be described as my own little miracle from God. I was determined to be with her and holding her hand when she passed and I was. From Sunday morning until Thursday morning when she passed, I slept only four hours...on Monday afternoon. Other than that, I never went to sleep. When I became so tired I could barely stand it, I would suddenly have a burst of energy and would be fine for hours. Sure, I know it was adrenaline, but I accept that adrenaline rush as my own personal miracle.

Butcher, I hope your 2010 is better than your 2009.

 

Thanks again.
