Christmas fast approaches and that means shopping. Why is that?, you may ask. Let Cracked tell you.

Don't bother to shop for the college students and grads with their huge student loans on your list, just send money and maybe a card. College Humor says so.

Mr. Bean, however, does get into the spirit of Christmas.
I tell 'em that this Country is bigger than Wall Street, and if
they don't believe it, I show 'em the map.
Seems to me, Republicans and Wall Street go hand in hand. For a zany alternate view of Republicanism, take a look a College Humor's video, "The Mad (Republican) Tea Party:"
So here we are in a country with more wheat and more corn and more money in
the bank, more cotton, more everything in the world—there’s not a product
that you can name that we haven't got more of it than any other country ever had
on the face of the earth—and yet we’ve got people starving. We'll hold the
distinction of being the only nation in the history of the world that ever went
to the poor house in an automobile. The potter's fields are lined with granaries
full of grain. Now if there ain't something cockeyed in an arrangement like that
then this microphone here in front of me is—well, it's a cuspidor, that's all.
BTW, there's a handsome book about Will Rogers, titled The Quotable Will Rogers, by Joseph H. Carter at Google Books. You can buy a copy if you like. -- Marge
