They've got Spot's number

Here are some of the things Spot got for Christmas this year.

From his pups:

"The [George Bush] Out of Office Countdown" calendar for 2007. It contains some pithy Bush quotes and some of the more memorable things the prezinut has done. A franchise that has, obviously, a limited life, but it should be a big seller for the next couple of years.

"Worse than Watergate" by John Dean.

A pair of socks by "The Sock Guy" that have beer steins on the cuffs and the following is written on the sole: "Beer is Proof that God Loves Us and Wants Us to Be Happy," a quote from Ben Franklin. Franklin was, incidentally, one of the Founders that we can put squarely in the Deist camp.

From Mrs. Spot:

A book "The Word Museum: the most remarkable English words ever forgotten" by Jeffrey Kacirk. You can look forward to many obscure and archaic references in the future, boys and girls. Whether you want them or not.

It is Spot's wish that you all have friends and family that know you so well. Merry Christmas!
