and so the Christmas season begins...

In early September Ang and I were shocked to see Christmas stuff up at
Target and Dillard's.. and we shrugged it off, but with the purchase
of Christmas Vinyl at Goodwill on Saturday, the Christmas season, or
at least the season of Tis the Season to Be Cheesy assembly has begun.

I got ahold of a copy of the new Barenaked Ladies "Barenaked for the
Holidays" album this morning. I don't know that there's anything
that's going to immediately make it onto the yearly disc, but I know
it's going to make it onto the playlists that I play at home (which is
to say that I generally never get around to listening to the Christmas
discs that I make myself... just everyone elses. ;-))

Anyway, I'm not entirely sure what this years disc is going to be
comprised of, but I know that I'm still searching for wooden AOL
boxes. If I can find enough, everything is getting mailed out in those
this year. We'll see. But I digress. Pick up the new BNL disc if you
get the chance, it's worth a listen.

Today's required reading...

Belmont Club

Wretchard has consistenly become one of the guys I look to for solid, logical analysis. If you haven't had a chance to read his analysis of Kerry's interview in this Sunday's New York Times, you owe it to yourself to check it out.
