What appears
oh so terribly hard to do
when first you try to do it

FOIST OF OIL: MAERIE CHRISTMAS TO YOU as in olden days, as in golden days of yore, hoping friends who were dear to you will be near to you once more.. . . . . . . .
A quiet but blessed day. Christmas morning for curmudgeon bachelors is THE DAY where there is absolutely nothing [...]

On Saturday afternoon, December 23 at about 2:40 pm during the showing of Miracle on 34th Street, Fox TV Springfield, Illinois broadcast a commercial for Enzyte male erectile enhancement treatment. Does anyone, besides yours truly, find anything obscenely reprehensible about the placement of that commercial?

Stringing out the obituary report with Bush administration flip-flopping, our nation, like a drunken Illinois governor, prograstinates brave lives away.
We know, now, how the bipartisan Baker/Hamilton Report was a token crumb of legitimacy flicked to the hearts of still-believing citizens. During the election campaign, 43 stood behind men with indisputable integrity donning their [...]

Oh Well
by Job Conger
(To be sung to the tune which should be obvious.)
