Sunday funnies
Another Bigfoot sighting (hey, I'm now convinced).
Police make arrests in exotic "Got milk?" conspiracy (H/T: Captain Heinrichs).
Henri the cat passes along some observations on dogdom:
Who wouldn't want a leaf-blower converted into a flame-thrower? Watch as this obviously well-adjusted person demonstrates his invention:
The marketing division of Paco Enterprises is staffed by highly talented people who were hired based on their colossal success in the global advertising business.
Back to the drawing board.

Ingrates!
Sixty percent of Republican voters would prefer for Speaker John Boehner to be replaced (My first reaction was, “only 60%?”. Well, big tent and all that…).
That’s only voters, though, and we all know they don’t count. If they did, we’d see an energized GOP majority in both the House and the Senate gearing up to put the brakes on the designs of our imperial president, which is what voters thought they were supporting when they heaved a bunch of Republicans into Congress back in November. Guess the joke’s on them.
Boehner might be reelected Speaker with a smaller majority than usual, but reelected he will be. And then we’ll all be treated to the continuing disgusting spectacle of Boehner and his do-nothing allies in the Senate standing around outside of Fort Obama, banging their spears on their shields and occasionally yelling invective, while shrewdly keeping a lookout over their shoulders to make sure they have an unobstructed path for fleeing back into the forest as soon as Obama fires the government shut-down cannon. Because as we all know, nothing – not principle, not honor, not individual liberty, not the Constitution, not even a fair chance of success – is worth running the risk of shutting down the Washington Monument for a couple of weeks and getting unfairly blamed for it. So (we are assured), if the establishment just cruises along on auto-pilot for the next two years, the GOP will be in great shape for the next general election – by which time the RINOcracy will no doubt have some brand new reasons for doing nothing to reduce the size and scope of government, and we might legitimately begin calling it Oboehner Care.
Update: Here's one Republican congressman who will be voting against Boehner.

Happy Feet Friday
So sue me; I never heard of Australian musician Andrew Winton until yesterday. The man does play a mean slide guitar, so let's ring in the new year with Numbers Down.
Enigmatic portent or the result of too much Peri-Peri sauce in the hamburger casserole?
After 59 years, the exact moment of the new year's arrival has pretty much lost its ability to fascinate, so I turned in last night shortly before midnight. I had the most peculiar dream.
In the dream, I possessed a full mustache. I was standing in front of the mirror, studying my face, when I decided that what I really wanted was a little Hitlerian brush mustache. I commenced trimming the extreme flanks, and then suddenly, in an act of spectacular and inexplicable incompetence, with one swipe of the razor, I completely cleared the real estate located between my nose and the center of my upper lip (consisting largely of what I believe nose specialists refer to as the philtrum). The result was that I now had not one, but two Hitler mustaches, each one positioned slightly to the off side of its respective nostril.
What does it mean, Holmes?

Time for...butterball diplomacy?
Good lord! What happened to Henry Kissinger? He looks like he just received a helium enema.
