OK, everyone, sing along, cadence notwithstanding ...


    On the 2th day of the Eurocentrically imposed midwinter festival,
 my Significant Other in a consenting adult, monogamous relationship
 gave to me: 
 
TWELVE males reclaiming their inner warrior through ritual drumming, 
 
ELEVEN pipers piping (plus the 8-member pit orchestra made up of
 members in good standing of the Musicians Equity Union as called for
 in their union contract even though they will not be asked to play a
 note), 
 
TEN melanin deprived testosterone-poisoned scions of the patriarchal
 ruling class system leaping, 
 
NINE persons engaged in rhythmic self-expression, 
 
EIGHT economically disadvantaged female persons stealing milk-products
 from enslaved Bovine-Americans, 
 
SEVEN endangered swans swimming on federally protected wetlands, 
 
SIX enslaved Fowl-Americans producing stolen non-human animal products, 
 
FIVE golden symbols of culturally sanctioned enforced domestic
 incarceration, 
 
(NOTE: after members of the Animal Liberation Front threatened to
 throw red paint at my computer, the calling birds, French hens and
 partridge have been reintroduced to their native habitat. To avoid
 further Animal-American enslavement, the remaining gift package has
 been revised.) 
 
FOUR hours of recorded whale songs 
 
THREE deconstructionist poets 
 
TWO Sierra Club calendars printed on recycled processed tree carcasses 
 
and... 
 
ONE Spotted Owl activist chained to an old-growth pear tree. 
 
Merry Christmas !!!!

all for celebration with a suggestion that your have a thoroughly
 adequate day.
 
 

    Sen. Rod Blagojevich was arrested for brazenly trying to sell the vacant Senate seat left by Barack Obama. You don't buy a Senate seat in this country. You take up donations; you go out and lie to the American people; you make promises you're never going to keep — that's how you become a senator.
