Many thanks for the dontbomb.blogspot. Pretty bizarre that such a plea should even be necessary to the "Lighthouse of Liberty." Lobster love those AJers' ability to maintain at least a gallows sense of humor. Amina,

Lobster love those AJers’ ability to maintain at least a gallows sense of humor.

Some A-J staffers have actually started a Don't Bomb Us blog: http://dontbomb.blogspot.com/ with plenty of links to their stories, which are, obviously, bomb-worthy. (they manage to keep a slightly humorous tone...) Just a (really late) addendum to the Al-Jazeera string that was going on before.

(The check's gone postal). Hey, Jerry, nice to... er... read ya after so long! I was thinking aboutcha too, recently. Happy (belated) Thanksgiving to y'all. Hope you avoided the roads and found the folks you love, instead of the other way around. Only 26 shopping days till Xmas. Get in early. I wonder what PTIC is getting for Kofi this year? Oh, no, that's right, it's a Victory in Iraq, so the UN can send in peacekeepers. Again. Aw, shucks, Mr Felber, you shouldnt’a oughta said all that stuff. (The check’s gone postal).

I haven't posted in a while and I apologize. The problem with being successful at work is they reward you with more work! It's all I can do sometimes just keeping up with what y'all are writing. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It’s nice to be remembered. I haven’t posted in a while and I apologize. The problem with being successful at work is they reward you with more work!

Hope all had a good Thanksgiving. Even my cynical side took a rest and enjoyed friends and family- for all I am greatly thankful. Life, love, laughter and music are worth celebrating- even those new kids Monk and Coletrane ;-) Four days late and $10 short………….

Cooper,

Mimi,

Mimi, welcome, but even grouchy old geezers like me can find joy in being thankful for what I have and that I do live in America. (We will eventually throw off the oppression of the current administration). Say folks it's now officially Xmas time (Holiday season) and “Murray's Brag and Gag Rag” is almost ready for shipping. If you would like to join those who signed up last year, I'll be glad to send you my satirical take on my own Christmas letter. (Money back guarantee if you don't find it entertaining). Just send your address to murray@grouseland.com and you will get this year’s 2nd annual special anniversary edition.
