makin' your list

in case you're at a loss for what to give that person who has everything this year, here's a few suggestions culled from mark morford's morning fix column in the sfgate.com. (a good site for all kinds of things, mostly making me wish i lived in san francisco.)  but my question is:  how does he find these things in the first place?

so, first and foremost, to play barbie to your gwbushinflightgear action figure's ken, we have: the ann coulter talking action figure.  talking, mind you.  of course she's talking.  you can see a sampling of what she says before you order. (don't forget extra batteries!)

any expectant parents on your list?  or new parents?  well, here's the very thing to help them get that little one off to the best possible start. (or, as they say in the copy:  think of the impact this could have on a young family's life!) chew on that, junior.

this next gift is for your jet-setting friends or relatives who'll be taking off for The Islands during the holidays, it'll be way too cold to enjoy these in chicago or philadelphia or even dallas.  but those happy beachbums will thank you as they undertake their "beach evangelism and mission trips."  how beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good news!

the holiday shopping season officially opens a week from today.  my students who are new to this country are actually all excited about experiencing their first "black friday."  they're planning to go to malls.  you now have a headstart on shopping, from the privacy of your own homes.

p.s.    in another dickensian coincidence, at the happy chica's aol blog she too has a gift suggestion for you.

ah yes, instead of starting them on a cosmo bible (http://journals.aol.com/musenla/Amused/entries/240), why not start them from infancy?

oh yah. i liked your piece on the so-called christian way to teach girls how to be subjugated repressed lost souls on the order of my mother's generation. i'm going to try to send you the same mark morford's piece on this "new testament" in mag form if i can find it. he practically had a stroke writing about it.

I still want to know when they're coming out with the George W. Bush Texas Air National Guard AWOL action figure? Maybe with a six-pack in each hand?
