Merry Christmas to Left and Right

To All My Democrat Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular
practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, perrsonally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2009, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

To My Republican Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Obama and his Dobbie

Oops. Did I mention something about old college pictures in my prior post???? For any of my liberal readers, I want you to know that back in the '90s I had a shirt that had Slick Willy, saxophone in hand, with the bell full of, well you know.... This is not a racist post. And why do I feel the need to travel to Havana????

Uncle Bob's College Daze....

This is some sage advise from Uncle Bob. You never know when your past might catch up with you. Bob's friend, J.D., whose wife is Top Bunk Becky (a good story for another post) found this photo of me and J.D. on someone's Facespace page. The email came last week from my friend who advised to look past the chicks. We are in the background. That is I, Uncle Bob head down, apparently wearing yellow, college, circa 1995 studying a keg tapper, as I was unfamiliar with it's workings. Keep in mind that when this was taken, there was no myface or spacebook. Hell, at the time AlGore had just invented the Internet. And shortly thereafter proclaimed, sure seems to be warming, but I digress. My point it to be careful out there boys and girls as you never know what might pop up, from you college days.

End of Semester

Well, I haven't helped Lea out on her Poly-Sci class in some weeks. Not sure if she's getting it or I'm not getting it. Caused me to think back about my days in school, like it was only yesterday....

Obama's Bad Day...Oprah Gains 40...Rodney Looks @ 40

This blog is Uncle Bob's Take..so it's not so much that Rod's had a bad day, as it is the Chicago Machine, and by extension, Obambi has had a bad day. News broke today that the Gov. had been arrested. Among interesting sound bites, during a wiretapped November 10 call, a frustrated and financially strapped Rodney referred to Obama as a "mf'r" and said that he would not appoint an ally of the President-elect to the Senate vacancy if "I don't get anything." And then...In January's "O" magazine, Oprah details her recent struggles with an out-of-balance thyroid and how the condition made her develop "a fear of working out." She says she's gained 40 pounds since 2006, when she weighed 160. With any luck about the time Rod is serving his sentence Oprah will be able to make it to the jail with the saw safely hid in the not eaten cake. However, if she decides to eat the cake, we can expect an Obambi pardon for all parties involved.
