“All I want for Christmas… ” or, “A Curmudgeon’s Christmas List”

Well, Kat (Cathouse Chat) knows how to ladle the Christmas sauce on. Here it is, Festivus (as my son was quick to remind me today)–the day before Christmas Eve, and she’s tagged me for a blogosphere meme pool tag game: Three things I want for Christmas and three things I do NOT want for Christmas. Well, I have about all the things I really want (not that I couldn’t do with a new this or that or t’other–I’m human, after all–in spite of what some might think :-)), so my list is typically third world county.

Want for Christmas:

*Less bullshit from Washington (and all the little bugs who take their cue from congresscritters, bureaucraps and all their pestilent ilk). “Less” instead of more, because, well, we are talking about politicians *spit*, bureaucraps and their ilk, after all…
*A close approximation of peace on earth, or at least as many jihadis as an unleashed American military might send to join their prophet in hell.
*A big dopeslap upside the head for global warmists who can’t remember that the temps were much higher (and growing seasons longer because of it) during the Medieval Warm Period when Greenland was a net exporter of farm goods.

Do NOT want for Christmas:

*President Bush to remain Vicente Fox’s lapdog on border control.
*The American military to be pulled out of Iraq any time short of a HUGE ass-whuppin’ of any and all available terrorist scum (a big enough whuppin’ to give the locals a substantial advantage in keeping the violence the region is naturally prone to controlled, at least). Yeh, I stole it from Kat, but she won’t mind, cos she’s in substantive agreement, even though she’s ladylike in her expression of similar sentiments.
*Another Christmas program filled with people who should have been told years ago that they are TONE DEAF. Or, as my Wonder Woman put it, should have been told, “Honey, don’t do that. You can’t sing.” (Kill dogs by making their ears bleed with horrible sounds emitted from their maws, but sing? *sigh*)

Kinda late to tag others, I’ll think on it and (hopefully) get back with you.
