FMJRA Thursday, the "it's December already?" edition

Only one week ago it was Thanksgiving. The turkey was in the oven, the soup was simmering on the stove, and Sophie was making the Asparagus Parmesan Cheese Puffs all by herself. Yes there was flour everywhere, but she worked her little butt off cutting, rolling, filling, and dipping all 96 of them. Two hours of prep from start to finish, and our guests devoured every one within 5 minutes of taking them out of the oven. They were delicious. Good work, Sophie!

This edition of the weekly Full Metal Jacket Reach-Around is dedicated to the procrastinators among us. No, I haven't started my Christmas shopping. No, I haven't thought about sending out Christmas cards. But when it comes to gifts, nothing beats a batch of bloggeriffic linky-love exchanged with my best blog buddies.

Pundette reminds us that not everyone groks the true meaning of Thanksgiving (or Christmas for that matter).

Smitty endorses the perfect gift for the Kwanzaa celebrators on your list — a dose of old-tyme race-hustling!

Pat Austin notes the sad case of 90 year old Medal of Honor recipient Colonel Van T. Barfoot and his "illegal" flagpole. Santa is sure to put coal in the stockings of the Sussex Square Homeowners Association and their pinhead lawyers at Coates & Davenport of Richmond, VA. Don't give in, Colonel. Those little pissants don't belong in the same room as men like you.

Edisto Joe reminds us what Real Patriotism sounds like via a very moving song.

On the positive side, Bob Belvedere extols the joys of hockey season.

Carol at No Sheeples Here! takes Obamabot tool Jacob Weisberg down for the count. I love the sound of Fisking in the morning!

Fishersville Mike says "you might be a redneck" if your snowman is wearing a camo cap.

Grandpa John is collecting Tiger jokes. I heard Tiger was changing his name to "Cheetah".

The Classic Liberal discovers that to Barack Obama all internet users are "guilty until proven innocent". Naturally MPAA and RIAA toadies are thrilled by this. The rest of us? Not so much.

Gator Doug found a story which explains the true meaning of "karma". One Palestinian scumbag down, but miles to go before we can sleep.

TrogloPundit fears that his glass will someday be empty. Don't they have polka in Wisconsin?

In heaven there is no beer,
That's why we drink it here!
And when we're gone from here,
Our friends will be drinking all the beer!

And yes Pat, this goes for you too!

Bride of Rove laments that nobody uses the term mau-mauing anymore. I think that's because it's called "Fisking" now?

Slapinions is reposting his lists of books read for the past few years. Geez Louise, I thought that I read a lot of books. When does this guy find time to sleep? And he's got four kids!

Ron Russell isn't buying the Administration's "al Qaeda's only got 100 guys left in Afghanistan" line. He's right, unlike the way our media counts homeless people (they magically disappear right after a Democrat is elected), knowing how many al Qaeda nutjobs are out there shouldn't be a partisan issue.

The Ruby Slippers Blog likes Jon Stewart's take on ClimateGate. "Poor Al Gore. Global warming debunked via the very Internet you invented." Heh.

The Anchoress has compiled a one-stop ClimateGate linkfest. It should be mandatory reading before any delegate sets foot in Copenhagen next week.

DynamoBuzz is even more of a procrastinator than I am. And he asks, with apparently a straight face, "what's the story with all the acorns?" Two words, dude. Hannah Giles. Check her out!

Donald Douglas asks "what did the president know and when did he know it?" Executive privilege for the White House Social Secretary? Gimme a break!

Doug Ross captures the essense of the Second Amendment.

Monique Stuart found a Pennsylvania college where you can't graduate if you're too fat. Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

Serr8d enjoys a good laugh at the expense of libtards who are vying to go on a cruise sponsored by Airheaded America Radio (now on 3 stations!) so they can hobnob with Obamabot Bimbette extraordinaire Rachel Maddow. Does that sound like fun to you? Because it's sure to be a barrel of laughs with all those priggish progglets tut-tutting at how much food they don't dare eat. I heard that instead of tipping their cabin boy they just pat him on the head and explain they've made a donation in his name to Emily's List.

National Review throws a helluva cruise each year. If the progglets went on that they might even learn something!

Garden State Patriot is skeptical of the NJ legislature's motives in wanting to do away with special elections for Senate vacancies. Gee, ya think? Frank "Weekend at Bernies" Lautenberg should retire before Chris Christie takes office; then Corslime can appoint himself back into his old seat!

Carol has a little photoshop phun with Barry's Stimulus, and reports that it hasn't actually "stimulated" very much of anything. Well, except ridicule, it seems to have stimulated quite a lot of ridicule. Too bad you can't eat that.

Little Miss Attila does not understand that engineers don't do marketing.

Jimmie Bise believes that Mike Huckabee's goose is cooked. I'd say "burnt to a crisp" is more like it.

And with that, I'm off to lunch. Click the links! See you next week.
