Merry Christmas From Outside The Beltway!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all the OTB regulars and anyone else who may drop by! Nothing political today, at least not from this corner for the Internet. Instead, some Christmas music and consider this an open thread for the day. We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled political ranting soon enough.
To set the mood, here’s the great Nat King Cole:
Silent Night
Thank You Minnie Riperton RIP
That pointy gold thing in the foreground must be President Mangolini’s Yuletide dunce cap.
And a wish for great holidays to all the OTB friends and crew, and my thanks for intriguing conversations.
Bob
Merry Christmas!
@Mister Bluster:
In a random connection that can only happen on OTB:
Minnie Ripperton’s “Loving You” is sampled by an old favorite of mine: The Orb’s “The Orb’s A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From the Centre of the Ultraworld”
Here it is: goo.gl/TMnr2N
(I suggest headphones)
Orb won’t load.
Does sound a lot like a gal I spent some quality time with in the ’70s.
She was an auto mechanic and had a 5 year old boy child named Jedidiah.
I guess he is closing in on 40 now…yikes!!
More Minnie
Merry Christmas to you all.

Caution for the old farts: this is early EDM.
unblock my comment, please.
As always, peace and good health to all OTB’ers, and especially OTB management – Doug, Steven, James, et al – who put up with much bulls*** from me and other OTB visitors.
Be well.
@Liberal Capitalist: Yeah, it’s pretty tame compared to what I was hearing in Korea 5 years ago.
Merry Christmas, and a Happier New Year!
Doug, Steven – thanks for all of the hard work you’ve done this year.
Now that Trump has won the War on Christmas, and also done an admirable job of keeping elephants off my lawn, I can safely wish that one and all had a Merry Christmas and that you all, except bunge and bob the bustierre, have a safe and prosperous New Year. I also want to thank Doug and Steven for all the effort, entertainment, and enlightenment, and James especially for maintaining the premises. And to all a good night.
