    Happy Christmas to the Reason writers and cartoonists and especially to the commentariat without whom this site would be a dull place indeed.

    1. Scarecrow & WoodChipper Repair   9 years ago

      Fuck off, slaver!

      I don't spout off for your benefit, or anybody's but mine.

      1. Lord Rollingpin   9 years ago

        Indeed!
        'It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.'

    4. Sylvie1   9 years ago

      Pan-seared filet mignon, potatoes Robuchon (as much butter as you can incorporate without the emulsion breaking - I usually get at least 3:1 potatoes : butter, sometimes all the way to 2:1), seared scallops on rings of delicata squash roasted with brown sugar and pancetta, grilled asparagus, homemade cheesecake.

        Don't trust the medium.

  13. Suthenboy   9 years ago

    I posted this yesterday but it is relevant to this Friday Funny. Merry Christmas.

    "Well, if you would've told me this year that we'd be standing here celebrating the passage of an omnibus bill, with no poison pill riders, at higher [spending] levels above sequesters than even the president requested, I wouldn't have believed it, but here we are," Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer told reporters shortly after the $1.1 trillion omnibus bill was passed."

    In 2015, "we wanted to get rid of sequestration, we were able to do that," gloated the Democrats' leader in the Senate, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)2%
    . "We wanted to make sure there is parity between defense and the middle class, we wanted to make sure that we kept these poison pills off the legislation? All three goals we had, we accomplished," he said. Ryan's omnibus deal "caps off a successful year for Senate Democrats," he added.

    1. Suthenboy   9 years ago

      Over in the House, the Democrats' upbeat press conference began with laughter, according to the transcript."

      ""I said I would not accept a lot of [conservative] ideological riders that were attached to a big budget deal," President Barack Obama said Friday, at his end-of-year press conference. "And because of some terrific negotiations by the Democrats up on Capitol Hill and I think some pretty good work by our legislative staff here? it was a good win," he said. "We met our goals," he said."

      Maybe we can give the R's pink slips for Thanksgiving.

      1. Adans smith   9 years ago

        Things are tough and times are hard {well not for us } here's your fucking Christmas card. -Harry Reid D- 7 level of hell.

  14. Vampire   9 years ago

    Merry Christmas to all of you. If any of you happen to have bite marks, it might have been me.

    Love,
    Vampire
