Happy Holidays - All of Them!

Good Evening Garlic Fans ...

Happy Holidays - All of Them!

We're giving into the demands of the season (cooking, family, et all) and taking a day, or two off (barring breaking news ripe for the pickings).

Being that is has been a rough month on The Garlic's homefront, both time and energy were lacking to come up with new Christmas satire this year.

So, pay attention to our daily feature - Garlic History ... On This Day - sitting over there in the right sidebar. We came up with a few goods last year and you can revisit those posts, or, if you are a new reader, it's your lucky day.

So, have yourselves a very Merry Christmas, with your family and friends and here's hoping peace and love fill the air.

Happy Holidays!
Peace
JTD

Twelve Days of Dubya ...The Twelfth Day

Drum roll, please...

We made it!

Dubya is tapped out, unloading all his gifts this Christmas season. No doubt, he’s likely to toss a few more bonus tidings before the month is out.

And, I suppose, we have to wonder if he used his Executive Powers, and freshly-minted Signing Statement to snoop and open the letter Senate Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent to him today.

As we have encouraged the past 11-days, keeping with the spirit of things, feel free to sing out loud.

Twelve Days of Dubya ...The Twelfth Day

On the twelfth day of Christmas,

my Dubya sent to me

Twelve numbing speeches,

Eleven goats a-petting,

Ten WHIGs a-fabricating,

Nine wards a-flooding,

Eight aides a-spinning,

Seven Signing Statements,

Six priests a-praying,

Five golden lies,

Four of Cheney’s birds,

Three French Freedom Fries,

Two Fed-Soc Judges,

And a backrub at the G8
