God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay.

Remember Christ the savior was born on Christmas Day

To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray.

Oh tidings of comfort and joy. Comfort and Joy

Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

In Bethlehem, in Israel,
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which His Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

part of a wonderful and very old Christian Christmas carol!

From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed Angel came;
And unto certain Shepherds
Brought tidings of the same:
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by Name.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Merry Christmas!

While the GOP house is home on their,[PUT the screws to the needy and middle class], maybe Boehner will take the time to look at himself on his TV speeches. He stands there licking his lips and Running his tounge in and out of his mouth like he needs another drink. Most of the time he comes off as if he is Drunk while his next in line buddy CANTOR stands there with big eyes thinking this position may become his. You MR Boehner are a disgrace to be representing a group of people that are making decisions that affect 300,000,000 people.You have already reached your final judgment as the most incompetent,disgraceful ever to hold that position which at one time was an honorable position. You have disgraced what it is supposed to be. Hopefully you and most of your tea party partners will be job hunting in 2012, you have earned it.

    Oh God of earth and alter,

    Bow down and hear our cries,

    Our earthly rulers falter,

    Our people drift and die,

    The walls of gold entomb us,

    The swords of scord divide,

    Take not thy thunder from us,

    Take away our pride.

    --Iron Maiden
