The Ol' Reach-Around

Ewwww



Thanks to Hipstomp for sharing this darling moment of possible political suicide. Unfortunately, I don't think most people would be too shocked by this as a) it was accidental and b) people don't even blink an eye at this stuff anymore. What's a grope here or there?

For my international readers, in case you can't see it: Saxby Chambliss' Holiday Message

On a separate note:
Holidays are just around the corner, and the Christmas spirit is never so apparent anywhere as it in any retail store. I went to Pret a Manger recently to enjoy a nice lunch with myself, a salad, and a fascinating New Yorker article about Bernanke. After I had paid and settled at a little round table with comfortable bench seating, I found I couldn't focus on the article let alone chew my salad in any semblance of peace. Possibly because something similar to the below was playing in the background or foreground depending on how you looked at the situation.



Christmas pop songs are an abomination. Oh wait, except for this one.

Personally, I'm a little more fond of the more dramatic and stern Christmas song, "Carol of the Bells". This version makes me want to get up and Riverdance! Not sure what the medieval costume party is all about though. This one is just strange, and the ambiguous political message via a montage of flags and images are fitting of a Madonna concert.

Anyways, happy holidays.
