The movie I was watching on Tubi ended and they started a new movie called The Lost Chronicles. I never heard of it so I went to IMDb to read about it, it's a horror movie but what caught my eye was it was made with a $500 budget. Sounds promising.

Trillions of tariff bucks? So, we don't sell T-Bonds anymore, right? All I see is some schmuck signing up for another card.

The demigod Pan left us a flagon of wine and a deer carcass, like he does every Winter Solstice! Pan Be Praised!

Mmmm!

I can remember enjoying some savory, mouthwatering venison steaks during the winter holidays. I'd give just about anything for a wee taste of such precious memories right about now.

Merry Christmas, you beautiful people. Have a wonderful, peaceful day.

And never forget that Trump was more Herod than Jesus.

Well....just to put a fine point on it. The antichrist would be more competent.

The chickens and root vegetables are roasting in the oven and I am sitting in a chaise lounge watching my family watch football. Also eating an amazing chocolate. Winan’s bourbon cherry cordials. So yummy.

Confession: I'm a cooking show junkie. I watch all the baking competitions on On Demand and ok, a few times a season. I love British Baking Show, Top Chef, Beat Bobby Flay and Chopped. I actually have a crazy job, I guess they're a vacation for my brain.

I watched the first five minutes of an episode of "Beat Bobby Flay" before I realized it wasn't going to be about what I had hoped it would be about...

In grade school, rather than running home after school to watch cartoons, I watched Julia Child and Graham Kerr!

It's Annie Lennox's 71st birthday today, so here she is singing "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen":

And here she is with David Bowie rehearsing "Under Pressure" for the Freddy Mercury Tribute Concert. Bonus George Michael cameos:

The "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" video is absolutely great, and I'm not even a big Christmassy kinda guy.

And this performance reduces me to tears, Every Single Time:

I utterly and absolutely ADORE Annie Lennox.

The only other woman on Earth with a set of pipes that even BEGIN to challenge those belonging to Ms. Lennox is my own stunningly talented youngest daughter.

One of these years I'll seek her permission and subsequently coax paul into loading up some audio for all of you good people. I have a nice voice and do my Irish ancestry proud in that regard. My youngest daughter, on the other hand, brings the gawd damned house DOWN with her incredible voice.

Annie Lennox would be proud to sing along with my little witch.

Did you read about his rant to some kid about beautiful coal? He's a sick, evil guy. How has he made it through life without someone killing him?

Happy Holidays to all! I've only been a commenter here for about half a year, but I've read Wonkette for years. I don't know why I didn't wander into the comments before. Maybe it's because most comment threads on articles are full of right-wing bigotry. But not here! I feel like I finally found my people. Thank you all for being so friendly, welcoming, and supportive! I'm so happy I found this place and met all of you! May the new year bring peace, prosperity, and a better fucking Congress to us all! 🎁

I’ve been a commenter here for seventy-one years, since back when Wonkette was owned by 3M, and only available as a lightly-scented aerosol. You should know though, they watch you through your faucets, and not just the kitchen one if you know what I mean. (THE BATHROOM ONE IS WHAT I MEAN. WASH THOROUGHLY AND GUARDEDLY.)

Honestly, the foot massages from strangers on the bus, and the secret little tubs of vanilla frosting buried in the backyard make membership to Wonkette all seem worthwhile, although I did have to get a reverse mortgage to pay for the right to comment. Oh well. Frosting is nice.

FWIW, they’ll try and tell you that today is Christmas, but Wonkette knows full well that that’s only true in Arizona and parts of Milwaukee. THEY LIIIIEEEEE. But they mean well, probably. Merry Almost Christmas: 💚❤️💚❤️✂️✂️😳
