While haven't had my normal Frogman fix in two weeks, I was able to finish up my Christmas shopping with some FrogFan Frog-wear and drinking vessels. Of course, I can't buy gifts without adding a little something for myself...so I threw in an extra Dissident Frogman coffee mug for use on the Cube Farm (office filled with cubicles). Great conversation piece!!

"Our peoples resemble one another, and they admire each other. And that is precisely why they have this strong bond, an impassioned relation which is not simple, but it is always beautiful."

Merry Christmas All!
Sophie, I love the quote, thanks for posting it. I'm always on the lookout for excellent quotes and am adding this one to my quote collection file.
P.S. I can't imagine anyone will care but I thought I'd mention this since hunting and hunting dogs are one of the topics on this blog - I love reading about them and seeing the photos. I got my dream-come-true black lab puppy for my birthday!!! Our elderly yellow lab died a few months ago, we buried her in our son's memorial garden on our property, since she was his loyal life-long companion. If my son was still alive he would train the new pup to hunt for sure, so technically she won't really be a hunting dog, but labs are labs and they will catch any bird, squirrel, etc. they can get their paws on as soon as they're old enough. She's so cute, she has my heart :)

Merry Christmas, floridasuzie. The quote is from President Sarkozy's gorgeous speech at the White House. You probably knew that, but I wanted to give him the credit. ;o) I was hoping to urge the Frogman to blog about his President.

God bless the dissidentfrogman. A Very Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thanks for standing up for what's right. You've got a lot of company.
The Left in America has seriously underestimated the depth and the extent of the anger that's been building against them. They've had it mostly their way since the early twentieth century. They are in for some very nasty surprises in this next year.
