I’ll still be posting, just a little less often, and with a little less analysis. I’ll be using the time not only to rest and hang out with my family, but to do some WHD thinking and planning.
Also there’s a Honeydo list.
I hope everyone has a great week, and I’ll be back up to full time after the New Year’s holiday, on Tuesday.
Keith
Thank you Keith, I love reading your posts and articles. Blessing for you and your family.
Resting, huh? Well, you do work harder than you know who and he rests constantly. I am sure we hyper types can think of something to write about or against.
Much deserved break. Enjoy. Thanks for a great year.
You will be missed but I really think you deserve a break from monitoring we
folks. As the saying goes we will talk amongst ourselves:). Enjoy and thanks
a million times over may 2012 be a very good year!
I know, I love that there’s a little community here. It’s very gratifying and fun to watch.
Have a good week, Keith, and thank you.
Mark Twain believed that so-called fallow times were actually necessary in the way that a well must be left alone for a time so that the water in it can be replenished by the natural action of groundwater. In other words, quiet produces inspiration and therefore good work.
I haven’t heard that one Anonna, thanks.
A quiet mind is like a fertile garden. There, the greatest ideas sprout, grow strong and bear fruit.
Are you going to try and get in some golf? The President might need an extra for his foursome. Wouldn’t that be a hoot!
He’d cancel if I showed up. Actually, maybe not, he likes golf too much.
Last time you said you were taking time off, you just continued posting pretty much like normal.
I know.
Oh no! I have withdrawal symptoms already!
My honey has one of those lists, too, Keith. I think it is a rather common end of year occurrence.
Enjoy your break. I am looking forward to your future writing.
Thanks MJ
Oh, my. Don’t you remember what happened that last time you left us without supervision? Oh, well, we’ll try to behave.
Have a nice time with the family, refresh, and get ready for 2012 which may well be a doozy.
We will:) ?
Nobody will behave.
Hope not anyway.
Maybe a litte:)
Enjoy your time off, I expect you will need the rest before 2012 begins
It will be quite a ride.
Oh Noes! who will keep track off golf outings? He must be playing today as he skipped Christmas. It will be the 90th time with only ten more to go to get to 100.
I suggest a guest blogger: moi!
The blog will be in good hands. If you are persona non grata now think what I could do to your standing.
Have a nice time off.
Hope you enjoy a little R&R and spend some quality time with your family Keith. Next year will be a momentous one in the future of America, and we need you well-rested and ready for the battle of ideas.
Janice has a great idea about the guest blogger spot. In my opinion nobody is more in tune with the Obama’s comings and goings than she is.
Thanks Susan. I was only kidding. This will probably be a quiet news week. The WA PO had a good article on Obama and Solyndra yesterday and how political considerations trumped everything. A Christmas day news dump from them,
Janice, I already added you to the payroll and spoke with two of your previous employers. Oh well.
You know cats lie.
i’m beginning to get the idea now. The cat is out of town so the mice come out and play. Really, what will you get to report on any way? Just set the blog to auto post with a round of golf every other day and a Mooch sighting in between.
Enjoy your time off!
Not so fast–there will be homework. I wrote today on how we need to learn how to be poor– http://hopeycopey.blogspot.com.
I’m now your devoted follower.
Great article and blog Star. The only difference is what you call poor, I call frugal.
Semantics. What I call poor, I would rather call broke, which sort of indicates it’s temporary–but I am not sure anymore…
Know what you mean. I’m sure hoping it’s temporary, but who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Yeah, I know.
I hope you have great family time! You will be missed. I think you should think about how you can bring Obama fans and the liberal media over to Liberty’s side because the US is screwed if Obama and democrats/liberal republicans are reelected.
Have nice week, LRod.
Keith using the “Obama daily schedule” for a week -LOL
Restful.
Time off? Bucking for a presidential position, eh?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year…….
(Hopefully you won’t sue or reprimand the mighty Boa for using the word Christmas)…..
Thanks Mighty Boa. Mighty nice of you.
Enjoy the week–we all need to rest up to make certain we are at our best for 2012–now more than ever, all Americans need to come together for the survival of our country and the most important thing we can do is to vote and to vote BHO out of office–that is the first step towards getting our country back on track and with your continued excellent reporting Keith, we are confident Americans will be educated and do what’s right and best for America–God Bless You, your family and America–now, more than ever.
Thanks GF – doing my best to keep everyone informed of what’s really going on.

Mark Knoller: After hiking for an hour with the family, Pres Obama is back on the links for a round of golf – 2nd of the trip.
Hiking for an hour, an HOUR ? Oh well, family time card punched, now off to play golf for FIVE HOURS :D
He played again at the military base so no one can take pictures. Inconvenience our soldiers in order to avoid a golf photo op. That’s our president.
I bet the private country clubs won’t let him play during a holiday week. Can you imagine the greens fees loss? Not to mention ticking off the members who pay HUGE dues amounts. We’ll see…..where else he shows up this week.
He did to go to ultra exclusive private clubs Christmas week in the past in Hawaii. People took cell phone videos and photos because he can’t close a private club.
No one says no to the president. It’s a real coup. Fox News agreed with me that he doesn’t want golf photos taken this year so he’ll most likely play most days at the base.
I just did a quick check, the private courses are pretty booked up at greens fees up to $200 (each) player. That may be on top of membership fees that can run up to thousands a year.
Who are these people who take photos of the Prez on their cell phones? I see that all the time when he’s in public. There must be some cachet to having his mug on their cell because we all know what he looks like.
As for private golf courses; surely management would make the POTUS an honorary member and allow him to play without fees or membership dues.
Spoiled any Christmas Eve and day after Christmas golf plans for a good many military members who more than likely waited months for their tee times. What a guy…
Best be getting that honey-do list taken care of first things first there, Sir. A well deserved respite with your loved ones will be the refreshing tonic you need to continue the exposure of the lunacy of inside Washington D.C. as we know it..

Thanks Knothead. Honeydo task completion indeed makes for a more restful holiday.
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is also reported to be in Hawaii (Kona) for the Holidays.
Hawaii Reporter reports that she’s staying in a suite that rents for $10,000 a night.
The Obama’s $3,500 daily rental in Kailua appears to be a bargain in contrast.
Happy Holiday$!
Unbelievable.
We have the Kwanzaa covered ! :D

Gosh – did I miss the message sending our warmest wishes to those celebrating Christmas? Or Easter? Who is advising this guy? I become more afraid each day.
Good catch. His “Christmas” message felt more like a campaign ad to me.
Thank you Mr. Koffler for your hard work and dedication in maintaining WHD, one of the best places in the internet about American politics. Everyday your good journalist work and skills brings to us first class information together with down to earth common sense analysis on Washington’s dealings, a rare commodity most needed in these trouble times. Enjoy your well deserved vacation time with your loved ones, wishing you and your family all the best.
Thanks Jack, I appreciate the comments.
Have a great relaxing week Keith. You deserve it. I hope you really enjoy your time with your family and get a lot done from your Honeydo list. Happy New Year! LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog!
Thanks Kathy.
Happy New Year! Thanks for the nice website :)
By the way, the drudgies also have taught me things–like what FOAD means–you can google it, I don’t want to nasty up the joint.
