Happy Holidays From All Hat No Cattle

Let's try something a little different today. I want to pet your soul during this holiday season, and slightly step back from the ugly world of politics that permeates even our police system.


I have a little youtube, meme selection for you, of some religions or no religion, and a few funny quotes.



SONY is going to show THE INTERVIEW. I guess they got the courage after North Korea's computers were hacked. Thanks Obama! - AllHatNoCattle

Trying to explain to the child sitting next to me that a country version of Jingle Bell Rock is by definition an oxymoron. - John Fugelsang

Want to feel young again?This is when I fell madly in love with Joe Cocker because of this song. A young Leon Russell is tickling those ivories throughout the video. Wow. RIP Joe. Thank you.

For my Atheist Friends! 

It's time to put Christ back into Christmas. And fun back into funerals. - Jeff Tiedrich tweet

For My Christian Friends!

Ayn Rand helped the FBI investigate whether ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ was commie propaganda. - RawStory 





For My Jewish Friends!

Fox News viewers who lost the channel on Dish will never hear today's great economic news. The same is true for people who still have Fox.- LOLGOP







I Got You, Babe. My Favorite Rendition.






And for my Totally Political Friends!

Seeing "The Interview" is neither a patriotic act or an act of defiance against a brutal dictator--it's saving a Sony exec's ass. -  JC Christian Tweet

Insanity

New York Times calls for Cheney, Bush officials to be investigated and prosecuted for torture
In a blistering editorial published in the Monday edition of the New York Times, the editorial page editors are calling upon the Justice Department to open an investigation into the torture practices committed during the administration of President George W. Bush with an eye towards prosecuting those who “committed torture and other serious crimes,” along with former Vice President Dick Cheney and other major administration officials.

Now we just need to fix the damage W. did before the financial crisis in time for his brother to ruin everything- LOLGOP

• Jordan hangs 11 men after eight-year death penalty moratorium
• Palestinians seek UN resolution to end Israeli occupation
• Exclusive: WHO says Syria opens Aleppo, other troubled areas for medical aid
• US Navy chopper crashes in Kuwait, minor injuries

I miss when we had a leader like Reagan who knew how to stand up to an oppressive regime by secretly selling it anti-aircraft missiles.- LOLGOP

North Korea Took Their Ball And Went Home
 An angry North Korea, now on the defensive over a U.S. accusation of hacking, is refusing to take part in a groundbreaking U.N. Security Council meeting Monday where the country's bleak human rights situation will be discussed for the first time.

Republican Shenanigans

• Sarah Palin shares tips for keeping ‘Christ in Christmas,’ which include buying her book
• Bill Kristol: Liberals owe dead cops a protest movement because unarmed black teens got one
• Dish Network dumps Fox News, setting off social media war on Facebook
• Fox News psychiatrist: Body cameras, de-escalation training are ‘an insult to police officers’

Gas falls below $2 a gallon! Tune into FOX to not hear more!- John Fugelsang

Well, One Less Racist Cop.
An  auxiliary officer with the Fairview Park Police Department, who had written that black people should be “exterminated,” resigned from the force last week.




A lot of the same guys calling Sony cowards for pulling The Interview were quivering over Ebola and hungry kids showing up at the border.- LOLGOP

Rock The Voter News

• How President Obama unwinds
• Secret Service report: White House needs a taller fence and more, better-trained agents

Some people wanted more decades of US/Cuba hate; and they would've gotten away with it, if it wasn't for this meddling Pope.- John Fugelsang

I Love This Pope More And More
Pope Francis lambasted the Vatican’s bureaucracy on Monday, saying some within the Church had a lust for power, were indifferent to others and suffered from “spiritual Alzheimer’s”.

So, The CIA Is Accountable To No One
 A panel investigating the CIA's search of a computer network used by U.S. Senate staff will not recommend disciplining the agency officials involved in the incident, according to the New York Times.


Business/Tech News

• North Korea's internet appears to be under mass cyber attack
• China Offers Russia Help Shoring Up the Ruble With Currency Deal
• U.S. Economy Pulling Away From Rest of the World
• In North Dakota, countdown looms for $5.3 billion oil tax break

First full day without Fox News for Dish viewers. When the DTs set in, the only relief is to yell at BET for trying to get you health care.- LOLGOP




Federal Reserve
When the U.S. Federal Reserve ended its quantitative-easing program in October, it also ended the primary driver of U.S. stocks during the past six years. So long as the central bank kept flooding the markets with money, investors had little reason to worry about a broader economy limping along at 2 percent real growth.

This year: 2,506,000 jobs created and 9+ million gained insurance.
8 years of W.: 1,282,000 jobs created and 7.9 million lost insurance.- LOLGOP

Thank you so much, Mary!
