		<description>&lt;strong&gt;General Announcement&lt;/strong&gt;

We have already reached one-fourth of our pledge drive goals!  Woo hoo!  You can see the updated thermometer on the top of every page now (you may have to &quot;reload&quot; the page to get rid of your cached copy).  Keep your eyes on the thermometer throughout December to see how things are going.

I&#039;ve tried to keep up sending personal thank-yous to everyone who has donated, but just wanted to publicly do so again.  We&#039;ve got a goodly number of first-time donors this year, for which I&#039;m especially thankful, as it shows the site is growing.  I&#039;d also like to invite any first-timers to join us here in the comments as well (Michale&#039;s bark is worse than his bite, promise!).

Anyway, keep those cards and letters (and donations) coming, folks -- hopefully we&#039;ll hit our goal before Christmas!

		<description>I hereby pledge to donate 50 cents for every Michale comment that doesn&#039;t significantly raise my blood pressure ...

... to a maximum of $200. Heh.

Of course, I&#039;ll be working on a minimum threshold, as well. :)</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt; John McCain had the gall to call the nomination &quot;disgraceful&quot;. That&#039;s right. MacThuselah.&lt;/I&gt;

I also find it hilarious that you would slam McCain yet worship Obama..

McCain has more honor and more love of country in his right pinky than Obama has in his entire body....

		<description>I am also constrained to point out that Sarah Palin had, yunno, actual executive experience..

Something that even the great Messiah, Obama himself never had...

Certainly more relevant experience than the bimbo who was selected for Ambassador to Hungary...

Perhaps, she would have been better suited as the ambassador to Turkey...  Because she obviously IS ONE...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;You got that right. The fun has already begun. Just this morning, I was listening to NPR and they aired a story about a confirmation hearing for Obama&#039;s nominee for ambassador to Hungary. John McCain had the gall to call the nomination &quot;disgraceful&quot;.&lt;/I&gt;

Of course you ignore the fact that the ONLY qualification that the nominee had was that she was an Obama sycophant...

Facts..  They are such pesky things...

		<description>&quot;the midterm election is now behind us, and 2015 will be a very interesting year to come.&quot;

You got that right. The fun has already begun. Just this morning, I was listening to NPR and they aired a story about a confirmation hearing for Obama&#039;s nominee for ambassador to Hungary. John McCain had the gall to call the nomination &quot;disgraceful&quot;. That&#039;s right. MacThuselah. The guy who picked &lt;i&gt;Sarah Palin&lt;/i&gt; for VP. He should be too ashamed to criticize &lt;i&gt;anybody&lt;/i&gt; for making bad picks, but he clearly has no shame. So, NPR airs a story about bad picks and they pick a sound byte from the most hypocritical sore loser available. They should wise up at NPR. Maybe BHO won&#039;t veto The Defund NPR Act of 2015.</description>

		<description>Again, as per usual, in conjunction with the annual CW.COM Fundraiser, we have the Michael Give Back Program..  

To whit....

I am a certified computer technician of some (local) renown, if I do say so myself..  (and I do!! :D)

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Would you say you got a better shot of them going in but not so much of them coming out?&quot;
&quot;You could say that..&quot; 
&quot;I DID say that.  Would YOU say that.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-My Cousin Vinny

:D

Anyways, for the duration of the CW.COM fundraiser, I will fix any laptop, PS3 or XBOX360 free of charge.  All I ask is that shipping and parts be covered..

Common problems that I can repair:

Laptops
Lights Power On, But Nothing On Screen
No Power
Virus Or Slow Running

PS3
Infamous Yellow Light Of Death
Doesn&#039;t Read Blu Ray or Games

XBOX 360
Infamous Red Ring Of Death
Doesn&#039;t Read Games

It&#039;s my way of making up for the pain in the arse I have been all year..  :D

If anyone wants to avail themselves of this, they can contact CW via email and he will relay my direct contact email address..

Hope everyone has a great holiday season..

		<description>Oh, just a reminder...

A comment got stuck in the NNL filters in yesterday&#039;s commentary..  It&#039;s so worthy a comment that I wanted to call attention to it..
