To All My Lawyer/Liberal/PC Friends or those living in CA/MA/NY:
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 2007, 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.
By accepting these greetings, you are accepting the aforementioned terms as stated. This greeting is not subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for herself/himself/others, and is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual and customary application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.
To Everyone Else:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Heretofore:
Merry Christmas, Tal. I know who is in charge, even if the rest of the people can't figure it out!

I am most fortunate to be home at the moment. However, 2d BCT (Bridage Combat Team) is the DRB (Division Ready Bridage - is on tap to be anywhere in the world in 18 hours) right now, so we may or may not go somewhere shortly.

Glad you're home for the moment. I would say "be safe" when you go abroad. But staying safe is not your business. Stay cautious.

I like your signature. That attitude isn't always appreciated around here.

Tal's Dreaming of a White Bred Christmas
Here's hoping you never have the crackerjack White Christmas you hanker for, Tal.
But thanks for helping to bring security, democracy, chaos and death to the Iraqi people. It was the Christian thing to do.
Otherwise...Merry Xmas to all!

Drinking when we are not thirsty and making love at any time, madam, is all that distinguishes us from the other animals.

Tal isn't a soldier.
He's part of an online gaming community!!!!
In real life he is a car park attendant.
