 Merry Christmas Ya'll It’s the most wonderful time of the year . . . Merry Christmas to everyone. As he reflects over this past year , he was truly blessed by God. So this ol’ bear’s wish is that everyone will have a new year full of blessings and peace.  PaPa Bear didn't sleep a wink Stop with all this rumble-rumble-rumble and bumble-bumble-bumble! With a disturbing and most unusual rumble in his head, PaPa Bear slowly returns to reality after reliving a “Noises and Mr Flibberty-Jig” like experience over and over and over. It was ere, ’twas a little bit scary; it wasn’t a peaceful nap, ’twas more like a nightmarish rap. The bear tried to escape, he tried to awake; but those noises, those ugly faces, those transparent rules, those useless arguments and scrambled promises invaded the sanctity of his dreams. Why did it happen? What in the world caused it? Was it real? Would it happen next year? The mystery had to be unraveled. Having reached a state of awareness and in control of his faculties, PaPa Bear begins to retrace those last moments as he prepared to bed down for what should have been a peaceful winter’s nap. Let’s see now, he vaguely starts to remember . . . finishing his evening meal, saying goodnight to his neighbors, hanging out a Do Not Disturb sign, arranging his bed and soft pillow, then turning off the . . . turning off the . . . did he? He did, he must have; he always did. Oh no, he didn’t . . . it slipped his mind. Suddenly the fog was clearing; it was starting to make sense. He had caused his own grief, a senior bear moment, he’d shot himself in the paw. It must never happen again. Next year he’ll plan ahead, he’ll make a ”Do Not Forget List” and the first item on the list will read . . . “TURN OFF CSPAN, YA DUMMY”. PaPa Bear has decided to start off this season with a positive air. And although it’s tempting to just dive in and examine the political events of the day, the bear has chosen to end his first posting with a bit of levity and offer what he hopes with be a helpful public service announcement . . . ‘Tis getting warmer these days cause summer is just ahead, so if you feel a sudden urge to remove your clothes & run around the neighborhood in exuberant celebration, try sniffing a little Windex first . . . for they say it’s supposed to help reduce your chances of streaking.
Excuse me Mr. Obama, I mean President Obama, Sir. Um . . I know you’re busy and important and stuff. I mean, running the country is very important and — ah — I hate to bother you, Sir. I’ll only take a minute. Ok, Sir? See, I have these missing pieces that are holding me up, and I was wondering, Sir, if you could take time out of your busy schedule and help me out. You know, no big deal, just some loose ends and things. Hey, you have a nice place here! The wife sees houses like this on TV all the time and says, boy, she wishes she had digs like this, you know? Is that painting real? Really? Wow! I saw something like that in a museum once. Oh, sorry Sir. I didn’t mean to get off the track. So if you could just help me out a minute and give me some details, I will get right out of your way. I want to close this case and maybe take the wife to Coney Island or something. Ever been to Coney Island Sir? No? I didn’t think so… Well, listen, anyway, I can’t seem to get some information I need to wrap this up. These things seem to either be “Not released” or “Not available.” I’m sure it’s just an oversight or glitch or something, so if you could you tell me where these things are I have them written down here somewhere — oh wait. I’ll just read it to you. Could you please help me find these things, Sir? Your Occidental College records, your Columbia College records, your Columbia thesis paper, your Harvard College records, your Selective Service Registration, your Medical records, your Illinois State Senate schedule, your Illinois State Senate records, your law practice client list, a certified copy of your original birth certificate, embossed, signed paper certification of live birth, record of your baptism. Why your wife, Michelle, can no longer practice law as an attorney? Why your wife has 22 assistants, when previous First Ladies had one? Why were you getting “foreign student aid” as a college student? Which countries “passport” did you have when you visited Pakistan in 1981? Oh and one more thing Mr. President, I can’t seem to find any articles you published as editor of the Harvard Law Review, or as a Professor at the University of Chicago. Can you explain that to me, Sir? Oh, but hey — listen! I know you’re busy! If this is too much for you right now — I mean — tell you what. I’ll come back tomorrow. Give you some time to get these things together, you know? I mean, I know you’re busy. I’ll just let myself out. I’ll be back tomorrow. And the day after . . . What’s that Mr. President? Who wants to know these things? Well, I represent the citizens of the United States of America! You know . . . the folks who vote . . . the folks you work for. PaPa Bear finds comfort in knowing that finally we have the right man on the job to solve the mysteries surrounding this case. The bear has always agreed that those who speak the words of transparency but practice not are but resounding gongs and clanging cymbals; therefore it’s extremely important that all of the facts in this case can be made visible to everyone American. The bear would like to thank Cuz RS aka “The Crooner” from KC town for sending him this late breaking news and he also hopes that his family and friends in that part of the country will receive there fair share of global warming real soon.
Papa Bear is wondering . . . was it too many martinis at lunch, was it his meds, was he tired from reading those lengthy Senate bills, was he fatigued after those long hours behind closed doors or was he just drunk with power? Or, could it be all of the above? In any event, this is not how a United States Senator should act. A true statesman doesn’t act that way. If he was thoughtful of the folks who elected him, he wouldn’t have acted in this manner. He should apologize. Maybe it’s time he thought about taking a leave of absence to sober up. Maybe it’s time to just retire. But, it’s doubtful he will do anything. On a lighter note, here’s a joke . . .  Team PaPa Bear First of all, PaPa Bear and his family wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas! Our saga begins in 2008 when Bryan Bear, PaPa Bear’s Cub #2, mentioned that there was a franchise available in the prestigious Carolina Super League. Bryan had been the owner “Swetnam Dynasty” since 2006 and already had one league championship to his credit, so he thought the bear might want to give team ownership it a shot. It seemed that one of team owners was calling it quits after finishing dead last in the 2007 season. The team had a combined record of 18 wins & 34 loses in the previous four seasons, had never won more than five games and it’s only claim to fame was that it held the leagues 3rd longest losing streak with eight. Acquiring this team would not only be an uphill battle, but one that would place the bear in a league with eleven very experienced owners who were all at least thirty years younger. Could the ol’ bear come out of retirement & be successful? PaPa Bear accepted the challenge, the league commissioner approved the acquisition, and “Team PaPa Bear” became a reality. Since it was a keeper league, the bear decided to keep Barber (RB DAL). With the first pick in the draft he chose Westbrook (RB PHI) followed by a good core group of players like Ward (WR PIT) & Witten (TE DAL). With a pretty decent draft & a few waiver additions along the way, Team PaPa Bear ended the 2008 season with a record of 6 wins & 8 loses and finished in 8th place. Not bad for year one. The 2009 draft went pretty well. PaPa Bear’s keeper was Westbrook (RB PHI), he drafted a solid core group of players which included Rivers (QB SD), Benson (RB CIN), Jackson (WR PHI), Gates (TE SD), Jets (DST), he picked up Rice (WR MIN) off waivers and made a few strategic trades along the way. Team PaPa Bear finished the 2009 regular season with a record of 9 wins & 5 loses, Low State Division winner and is currently tied for 2nd with the league’s longest winning streak at seven. The team won last week’s playoff game and will begin a two week championship series against a very formidable opponent team “WAD” to determine the league champion. PaPa Bear wants to thank Bryan Bear for thinking of him, Commissioner RS for giving him the opportunity to be a team owner, but most of all he wants to thank the other eleven team owners for allowing this ‘ol bear just to hang around & compete with a bunch of great guys. Will Team PaPa Bear be crowned 2009 Carolina Super League Champions? Maybe, maybe not, but either way it’s been a lot of fun. Stay tuned . . . In light of a recent blessing that PaPa Bear received, these two words have a special meaning for him during this Christmas season. After over a year of searching for full time employment he is about to start a new job. This was truly a God send at a time when life around the forest was getting pretty tough. For over a year, he had been looking for more hours or just any job with benefits, but without much success. Then about six months ago, he realized that he wasn’t relying on God’s leading as much as he should. He was in the driver’s set, but didn’t seem to be going anywhere, so he decided to let God do the driving and just be a passenger, listen, pray, follow directions, have faith and go along for the ride. Well, this last six months has been an interesting ride; so much so that he could probably write a book about his experiences. Then out of the blue, he was offered a full time state position. This was truly “glorious” news that he thought would be “impossible” to ever receive. God is good and PaPa Bear has been wonderfully blessed. This video animation was made to play behind the Prestonwood Baptist Church Choir during one of their concerts. The drawings were done by hand, scanned in, and then Photoshoped. The animated reveal was mostly done with After Effects, but the first two scenes were animated frame by frame. They took over 700 individual pictures to animate this impressive video. PaPa Bear says enjoy the video, let God be your GPS and have a Merry Christmas! PaPa Bear happened to see this commercial about a fresh new singing group called “Minnesotans For Global Warming”. They’ve just announced a new Christmas album entitled “It’s A Climate Gate Christmas”. PaPa Bear wanted to audition and sing with the group, but he was told that he probably wouldn’t survive the competition . . . something about fur bearing animals and open season, or something like that. Anyway, this bear has definite thoughts about this “Global Warming” and “Climate Change” business, but since we’re approaching the holiday season and since it’s almost time for his winter nap, he thought he would save his opinions for another time and let this musical group poke a little fun at the “Global Warming” crowd instead. PaPa Bear says enjoy the music, have a very Merry Christmas and may God bless each and every one. |

Well it’s that time of the year again, so PaPa Bear’s gonna take a little snooze. Not only is he a bit sleepy, but he’s a bit exhausted from all of the goings on this past year, and to boot his aka has decided to come back from semi-retirement and for some unknown reason go back to work. PaPa Bear can’t seem to figure that out but it works for him, so until either it warms up into the 70’s again or until 90% of the Congressmen decide not to seek office he’ll stay nestled deep in his cave just taking a few uninterrupted z’s while dreaming about what it might be like after the 2010 elections. Night all and may God Bless . . . Zzzzzzzzzz . . . .
