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, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, 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!

Oh yeah. I have all kinds of friends. Don’t let it get around though. (Might ruin my reputation.)

Had George Bailey lived post-2000, his cautionary tale would have played out far less dramatically.
After years of moisture damage and neglect, George and Mary’s Bedford Falls home would have been condemned due to incurable toxic mold, forcing them to move in with Uncle Billy, enabling them to keep a closer eye on the old coot’s drinking. No longer prone to blackouts and feeble-minded musings, Uncle Billy would have seen no reason to gratuitously taunt Mr. Potter while making his bank deposit; thus, the $8,000.00 would never have been “lost” in the first place.
Although the bank examiner was already keeping a close watch on the Bailey Brothers’ business activities – they were, after all, clearly a reckless, sub-prime lending institution, by all accounts – without the loss of that single bank deposit, the building and loan would not have faced immediate insolvency. Like most American small businesses, it would have continued to flounder unchecked for decades, enjoying good years and bad, until it was one day run into the ground by little Tommy, fresh out of Yale, with a penchant for expensive booze and flamboyant prostitutes.
Spared the fear and uncertainty of the threat of impending prosecution, and dissolution of the business his father started decades earlier, George would have had no reason to undertake an act so desperate as that of suicide. George would have continued to plod through the life of a mediocre father and lackluster businessperson, choosing instead to kill himself slowly with alcohol, rather than in the blink of an eye in icy and turbulent waters.
George Bailey would have been condemned to a life of domestic ennui; paying utility bills and college tuitions, Janie’s untuned piano in the parlor pounding out the soundtrack of his rather pedestrian existence, until one day, sweet death would come to rescue him. A noble life, yes; but hardly the subject of Capraesque cinematic magic.
“It’s a Slow, Steady March to the Grave” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Merry Christmas, BadgerBlogger visitors.

“To Protect & Serve,” the motto that police officers live by, but at times like this, we remember that there should be an addition to this motto:
To Protest & Serve, and to Care.
There are many similar stories from police, fire fighters and our armed service members around the country and around the world… God Bless them all.
