X-mas Redux

For months Mom has been trying to get me to set a date for a trip home this Christmas. I didn't get to go the last couple of years, so she has a point. I actually promised her back on Mothers Day that I would "make it happen".

Well today she called and it turns out my sister-in-law has "scheduled" to have her 3rd baby right in the middle of November! Oh that is such wonderful news!! I am so glad everything is OK. So have I made any plans to go home yet? No, Mom, I haven't really thought about it this week. "Well, I guess that's for probably for the best since it will just be so crazy around here."

The truth is that they don't want me anywhere near the newborn. There is an infinitesimal chance that I could infect the baby with pneumonia. Suddenly, science sounds all rational. I'm sure it's best for everybody. I really do understand.

So let me be the first to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas! Shit that's going to take a lot more practice.

The Love Generation

Anybody with a gun is dangerous.
Anybody with a gun is a threat.
No amount of background checks,
No amount of training,
No amount of licensing,
will bring those bullets back.

But then again, we all know that. Defend yourself.

Obviously the solution here is to require all students to purchase and carry a firearm. Certainly, that would prevent the sort of tragedies we see today. Probably everybody should have one because tragedies don't just happen at school.

Now, in the greatest of all ironies, the "Pro-Lifers" will stand and sing in unison "Glory to Gun on the Highest and on Earth, Peace and good hunting towards men!"

Can I get a pop-pop?
