Oakley the Amazing Weimaraner and Annie the kid sis send their very best holiday wishes to everyone.

I'm heading to California today and then to Carson City, Nevada -- and wish everyone a terrific holiday and new year -- though Michael Schiffer and I will be commenting on the political goings-on over the next week on a daily basis.

A couple of things before I go. . .

First, some of you keep asking to be put on the Blog List. The best way to get a nice "daily" unobtrusive, single email that makes it easy to click to any of the posts that day is to sign up in the box on the left side column of my blog -- where it says "Subscribe to The Washington Note RSS feed!" Just put your email address in there -- and then when you get a confirmation email, click the link. . .and then you'll get everything I do here in a neat, ordered way that you can read or easily delete.

Secondly, remember TWN this holiday season. Your financial support -- which you can send via Paypal or send to me directly is most appreciated and keeps the blog growing and experimenting with new formats, and research staff. The Paypal button is in the upper right hand corner of the blog -- and my mailing address which some of you have requested is:

Steve Clemons
The Washington Note
1630 Connecticut Avenue NW, 7th Floor
Washington, DC 20009

Thanks again for your support, whether it's posting constructive comments on the blog, just reading, or supporting with tips and ideas -- all of that is appreciated.

More soon.

-- Steve Clemons

Oakley: "uh, Dad, I'm a little bored and miffed with you that you haven't paid more attention to Ron Paul and what he stands for...come on, forget that Hagel guy..."

Annie: "Dad, I'm looking right at you...are you gonna make a New Year's resolution not to endorse Hillary?...I here she kicks dogs if things don't go her way!"


Steve, another great dog picture! btw, what's your camera? Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the hinterlands!

Damn good work, Steve! You are good for America, and, Merry Christmas! (am an athiest, but, I love Christmas...go figure....)

Merry Christmas Steve...and everyone...including the incomparable Annie and Oakley. Great picture! Thanks for all you do...and for keeping us informed, Steve. Enjoy!

I must agree on the disappointment Hagel has been.

As to who look good to be the next president, it is unfortunate, REALLY, that there is not a spot on the ballot that says, "None of the above".

I think to include that would give a truer picture of how Americans feel about their(?) government rather than the usual trial of "chose between Mutt and Jeff."

But government is afraid of a true picture.

Happy holidays to the good people of this world.

You don't have to be a blind conservative not to see it, just an ignorant one to deny it.

Steve, thanks for all you do in this and so many other forums. I appreciate your common sense and open mind, grounded in a desire for a more peaceful and rational world. Christmas blessings to you and yours!

Boy, Steve, that one critter looks shellshocked. You oughta stop feeding them gophers, and let them chase an elephant or two. Its good for the 'ol canine esteem.

Merry Christmas, Steve. Keep it up man, I really do realize there's an elephant or two in your agenda, although at times it might not seem so.
