Merry Christmas everyone

[Anonymous]

Happy Holidays to everyone. Christmas Eve, I'll be watching the Raiders/Charger football game probably solo. Christmas Day, I'll be going over to Ruthann's for dinner. She is sensitive to  us lone wolfs, and puts out a great spread. I will bring 2 bottles of a Sauvignon blanc from Russian River valley in Ca. I adore good wine.

I am going to my parents house. I do not have to bring anything including booze, but I will and best of all no cleanup from me is required. Merry Christmas and to all a good night.

'Twas the night before Christmas, and in the White House

Not a cretin was stirring; not even Sharpton, that louse.

There were no stockings, no presents, no cheer,

Since half of them were on the "no-fly" list that year.



The staffers were back in their holes for the night,

The Obamas? Hawaii, on separate flights.

Nana Hilldawg in a pantsuit, and Bill with some hooker.

"Whatever," said Nana. "Not like he's such a looker."



When outside the compound arose quite a clatter,

But nobody cared about what was the matter.

"It's probably 'gun violence,' they said with a shrug

"These Democrat cities are teeming with thugs."



The moon on the grass of the White House Ellipse

Was no match for the klieg lights' apocalypse.

They lit up an old man, all warm and all fleecy,

Who'd enslaved eight reindeer — an unwilling species!



The little old driver, a kind-looking fellow,

Was no match for Valerie Jarrett's shrill bellow:

"Down on your knees, you creepy old freak!

Ain't no white guy supposed to be up here this week!"



Jeh Johnson and Lerner and AG Loretta!

It's time to teach people that we just know better!

Enough with this Christian holiday theme!

It's time for Muhammad to make this his scene!

In San Bernardino, Ground Zero, Fort Hood,

The real lesson is that all Muslims are good.



So enough with Christians and caroling yammer,

This "Santa" cat needs to spend time in the slammer!

At universities, schools and even at college

We've replaced all that stuff that we used to call knowledge



Now they make sheep, all outrage and noise,

But we need much more than just girls and just boys.

We need to think bigger, let everyone know

When it comes to those Christians, the answer is "No!"



No more of your Savior, your Jesus, your Lamb,

It hurts Akbar's feelings, and that ain't right, man.

We'll take all their guns, those white, right-wing zealots!

And put a huge tax on their shells and their bullets!



We'll take "assault weapons," whatever those are.

And we'll make them all drive eco-friendly, "green" cars!

We'll give them "free" healthcare;

At least, that's what we'll claim.



And if they object

Then "racism's" to blame

So what if Vlad Putin becomes the big cheese,

And we've mortgaged the country to the commie Chinese.



Obama can't handle the Mideast sands shifting,

Better let Vlad do the heavy lifting!

We'll cheat our own people, if that's what it takes,

To elect Nana Clinton and her posse of snakes.



Four more years of Obama, it might as well be,

And it's all because we know much better than thee!

Then Santa escaped, and took Christmas with him,

the smile on his face gone all sour and grim.



"I've plenty to do, far away from your jeers.

Good luck selling Kwanzaa to white kids next year!"

Haha that's very clever

A version by our neighbors north of the border:  ac_biggrin



(An adaptation of "A Visit from St. Nicholas" by Clement Clarke Moore by Éric Grenier.)



'Twas the night before Christmas on Parliament Hill,

And the House and the Senate were dormant and still;

The Mace had been placed by the Sergeant with care,

In hopes that the MPs soon would be there;



The pages were nestled all snug in their beds,

While echoes of Hansards rang in their heads;

And Press Gallery members, inquiring and firm,

Had just settled their brains for a long four-year term.



When now on Twitter there arose such a clatter,

I rushed to the Hill to see what was the matter.

Away to the Precinct I flew like a bolt;

Prorogation? A coup? A People's Revolt?



The light in the Commons was muted and dim,

Obscuring the seats and the Clerk's Table within;

When sitting there — quite a surprise I admit —

Was Justin Trudeau, and his entire cabinet!



His eyes — how they twinkled! His dimples: how merry,

His cheek bones quite sculpted; attractive? yes, very;

But critics how often did they like to crow:

He lacked the talented mind of elder Trudeau.



Wearing shirt, tie and suit, his hair a jet black,

He stood at his seat, and said: "Canada's back!"

Then turn'd to the government benches, reclaimed,

Beseeching his ministers, he call'd them by name:



"Now! Goodale, now! Dion, now! Brison and Garneau,

"On! Freeland, on! Joly, on! Bennett and Morneau;

"Elected on change, let's respond to the call!

"With sunny ways! Sunny ways! Sunny ways all!"



"The census, assessment, the TFSA,

"Procurement, tax brackets, a new tone to convey,

"Renewed faith in science, more growth to pursue;

"After ten years of Tories — there is much to undo."



The Lib'rals, excited, to write brand new laws,

Erupted — with feeling — in a round of applause.

Then the doors were flung open, and all turn'd around,

To glimpse the Conservatives come in with a bound.



They took up their seats on the opposite benches,

Prepared for a fight, a real war in the trenches;

"Oh, it won't be that easy," said Rona Ambrose;

"And in us you will find your most obstinate foes."



Then in his new role (he now felt with regret),

The NDP leader reminded, "Don't forget,

"All those in most need," said Thomas Mulcair,

"Please keep all your ideas progressive and fair."



"I think the environment will carry the day,"

Cried out Green Party leader Elizabeth May.

And from the far corner: "N'oubliez pas moi!"

Said Rhéal Fortin of the Bloc Québécois.



Then Trudeau, now nodding, he said "My dear friends,

"Our methods may differ, but we want the same ends.

"So why not, consid'ring goodwill of the season,

"Together we govern with wisdom and reason."



In peace MPs work'd through the holiday break,

Then away they all went and I, in bed, was awake.

For to think our MPs could all work as one team —

'Twas a naive Christmas wish, and all but a dream!
