Generic Holiday Wishes Upon You From pfutt.com

We have no particular opinion regarding which holiday is the best. At this time of year we wish to pass along the very warmest of generic holiday wishes and remind you that when things look bleak look backward and realize that someone else has it worse. As an example, our editor heard a lot of talk this year about a bronze statue in Milwaukee of a popular 70's TV character. Unfortunately, he thought the name of the character was Ponzi. Had our humble editor been allowed to watch television as a child he never would have mistaken given money to Bernard Madoff. On the bright side, his money brushed greatness as it was lost along with Steven Spielberg's.
