I know this is a political blog dedicated to electing better Democrats, but it is Friday night and it's time to blow off some steam.

On Facebook there is a group called We Dat Nation. It is a group for Minnesota Vikings fans whose name plays on the New Orleans Saints "Who Dat" saying. If you click on the link, you will see an image of Hurricane Katrina with a silhouette of the Minnesota Vikings logo as the eye of the storm and the text "Expected Landfall, 1/24/2010, 5:40 CDT".

It was about a year ago that I found out that I was going to be a father for the first time. From the moment I found out it has been one hell of a ride. A ride that continues to awe, and inspire me every single day.

My wife's pregnancy was fairly routine. The birth went smoothly considering she was in labor for roughly 24 hours before the doc decided that a C-Section would be the best way to get the baby out. My daughter did have the cord wrapped around her neck once but, it was not causing any adverse effects. At 7:10 on July 22nd, 2009 she was born. She was 21 inches tall and weighed 7lbs 3oz.

My wife has had two subsequent surgeries since, for complications after the C-Section, and despite what she says to the contrary, she would do it all over again. So 4 months and 4 days into parenthood, we have a happy, and healthy baby girl who is now 24 inches tall and weighs 13lbs 1oz.

So without further ado, here's a look at what I am most grateful for this Thanksgiving:

Yesterday I posted a diary about Noah Biorkman, a 5 year old boy from Michigan who is losing a battle with Neuroblastoma. (Google Health page for Neuroblastoma)

Yesterday's diary didn't get much traffic and slid down the list fairly quickly, but a special tip-o-the-cap to TexDem for bringing it up in the comment thread of Mojo Friday, to help direct traffic, and to all who dropped by and commented, and rec'd the diary itself.

So I'm trying this again. Below the fold is yesterday's diary with some new info added at the end.

Please spread the word on this.

I received Facebook status update from my cousin today that read:

PLEASE REPOST: Chad has a 5 yr old son Noah who is in the last stages of a 2 1/2 yr battle with Neuroblastoma Cancer. The family is celebrating Christmas next week and Noahs request is to get lots of Christmas cards. Lets get him some, please send cards to: Noah Biorkman 1141 Fountian View Circle, South Lyon,MI 48178-1568 Lets see how many cards we can get to this little guy. ~¿ó ®

So I decided to look into it a little further. Here's what Snopes has to say about it, and here's what Click on Detroit has to say about it. Link to video.

Yesterday, we had the second to last doctors appointment before the official due date of our daughter.

If you squint you can see my daughter Mara's face.

So I was just over at everyone's favorite tabloid site, HuffPo, and I happened upon an interesting little nugget. They linked to a CNN story about reading, and how President Obama has a lot of reading to do if he wants to keep pace with his predecessor.

The story here.

Have you ever found yourself in Minnesota, on a Sunday, in need of a bottle of your favorite spirit, or even an ice cold 12 pack of your favorite beer? If you have, you know it can be a daunting task to find a place to make your purchase, especially if you forgot to buy the booze the night before.

Well if State Rep. Tom Anzelc (DFL-Balsam Township)has his way, the drunks, and social drinkers of Minnesota will no longer have to worry about making it to the local liquor store on Saturday night to pick up the refreshments for the big game, birthday party, etc... Did I mention there is some good logic behind this proposed legislation?

More at the bottom of the glass...

For now, anyway.

My dad, and I were discussing the Economic Stimulus Package (ESP) today, and after reading the Re-douche-agains comments in the choice is yours' diary that's currently on the Rec List, I have come to the conclusion that we should let them vote it down.

I, like millions of other Americans, am still coming down from, the high that was, the inauguration. But, it is also a very nerve-wracking time for me, as I have been unable to find work for the past year, have been without insurance since last April, and have a baby due in July.

The job thing isn't a big deal, as I am able to scrape by doing odd jobs for cash, and my girlfriend has a job that covers the majority of our monthly expenses, and I have a few job prospects that look good.

I am not too worried about becoming a father, as well. Sure I have the same worries that all parents do, but, in the end, I am usually able to put those fears on the back burner.

I need health insurance.

On second thought, I'll pass. I prefer to stay somewhat grounded in reality.

Yesterday, my mom received a letter from the Republican Party of Minnesota, asking her to become a Sustaining Member. (Emphasis mine)

There are a few things, in the letter, that I found to be quite amusing, and I will attempt to dissect them below.

The one thing I know for sure is that they are barking up the wrong tree by asking my mother for money.

Check. Check. One. Two. Testing, One, Two. Bring down the highs a little bit, Jimmy.

I figured that since I don't have anything of substance to write about, I'd waste today's diary by telling a few jokes.

Feel free to add your own, there are no limitations. Clean or dirty, they are all good to me.

Now, let us make with the ha-ha.
