Miracles do happen! Congratulations.

Zorro on December 25, 2007 at 8:51 PM

Merry Christmas, Allah!

bnelson44 on December 25, 2007 at 8:52 PM

Will it blend?

phile on December 25, 2007 at 8:53 PM

Apparently you were on the “nice list.” Congrats, AP and Merry Christmas.

looking4statesmen on December 25, 2007 at 8:53 PM

Awww. The true meaning of Christmas.

Nonfactor on December 25, 2007 at 8:55 PM

Come on Allah, give us the story!

Zorro on December 25, 2007 at 8:57 PM

Awww…I had to get the Kleenex box! Congratulations!

SouthernGent on December 25, 2007 at 8:58 PM

heh…I’m surprised you didn’t rip right through that shrinkwrap.

JetBoy on December 25, 2007 at 8:58 PM

Aww Great for Allah and his secret Santa

Sometimes wishes do come true even for robots

William Amos on December 25, 2007 at 8:58 PM

JetBoy on December 25, 2007 at 8:58 PM

He was too busy crying.

lorien1973 on December 25, 2007 at 8:59 PM

Wow….cool.

I agree, the story needs to be told.

Attila (Pillage Idiot) on December 25, 2007 at 8:59 PM

Woo!Hoo!

Santa knows Allah was very good this year.
Now at the neighborhood Starbucks Allah will whip out his Iphone and be instantly swarmed by the most beautiful chics.

Speakup on December 25, 2007 at 8:59 PM

haha, YAY AP:)

ThackerAgency on December 25, 2007 at 9:02 PM

Dude! Outstanding!

Wineaholic on December 25, 2007 at 9:03 PM

So does this mean you will shutting up about it now?

;-)

Merry Christmas, AP!

Good Lt on December 25, 2007 at 9:04 PM

Santa delivers!

baldilocks on December 25, 2007 at 9:06 PM

Our long national nightmare has ended.

JammieWearingFool on December 25, 2007 at 9:08 PM

SECOND LOOK AT THE IPHONE!

wccawa on December 25, 2007 at 9:10 PM

haha congrats man :)

trailortrash on December 25, 2007 at 9:10 PM

Why am I picturing the scene from “A Christmas Story”?…..

“Oh boy! That’s mine!!!”

TBinSTL on December 25, 2007 at 9:13 PM

Be careful what you wish for…you just might get it.

Of course, as we all know, the iPhone is just the beta phone to the Samsung Blackjack’s alpha phone.

flipflop on December 25, 2007 at 9:13 PM

Dude! No way!!!!!!

Ok guys, AP’s quanity of posts is going to drop for a while so he can break in the new toy, probably why Michelle has held off on getting him one.

Merry Christmas AP!

conservnut on December 25, 2007 at 9:14 PM

*Posted right before AP discovers he doesn’t have the money to actually call someone*

TheEJS on December 25, 2007 at 9:16 PM

Congratulations Allah! Santa had you on the ‘good’ side of the list for a reason. For peace and harmony block any google searches containing the word ‘grits’.

Merry Christmas!

Limerick on December 25, 2007 at 9:16 PM

lorien1973 on December 25, 2007 at 8:59 PM

We won’t hear from AP for about a week now while he figures out how to work that thing.

Merry Christmas AP! Merry Christmas everyone!

JetBoy on December 25, 2007 at 9:16 PM

TheEJS on December 25, 2007 at 9:16 PM

LOL you know thats right

trailortrash on December 25, 2007 at 9:17 PM

JetBoy on December 25, 2007 at 9:16 PM

I bet he’s curled up with it right now. Probably already has a name for it. Female, most likely.

lorien1973 on December 25, 2007 at 9:18 PM

Wow, I had no idea that they were that thick or that they look like a cardboard box from a certain angle…whats the excitment?

BL@KBIRD on December 25, 2007 at 9:18 PM

Woot! I’m glad for you, AP.

paul006 on December 25, 2007 at 9:19 PM

Grats man! We both got phones, mine’s a Blackberry though.

bj1126 on December 25, 2007 at 9:19 PM

Hmmm…why is my comment at 9:13 awaiting moderation?

flipflop on December 25, 2007 at 9:20 PM

Merry Christmas AP!

As someone cited earlier from a “Christmas Story”, so will I:

“Watch out! You’ll shoot your eye out with that thing!”

And don’t stick your tongue on it too long if your are out in freezing weather.

Words of wisdom.

SouthernPride on December 25, 2007 at 9:20 PM

Oh and AP this is for you. :)

bj1126 on December 25, 2007 at 9:21 PM

So, is it engraved, or just, ya know, slick

Wind Rider on December 25, 2007 at 9:21 PM

I’m seeing Allah in the role of Tiny Tim right now – “God bless us, every one!”

Of course, I have a very good imagination…

LB - the one that isn't LaShawn Barber on December 25, 2007 at 9:21 PM

Does it float?

infidel on December 25, 2007 at 9:22 PM

N0ow, do we get a video of you smashing your IPhone with a hammer? It’s all the rage, ya know?

Warner Todd Huston on December 25, 2007 at 9:23 PM

Red Ryder edition?

ronsfi on December 25, 2007 at 9:23 PM

Merry Christmas, Allah. How did she know?

stonemeister on December 25, 2007 at 9:23 PM

I heard they suck. :)

ctmom on December 25, 2007 at 9:24 PM

Congrats! Merry Christmas!

aero on December 25, 2007 at 9:25 PM

Heh – AP’s dream comes true, and the thread gets 500 comments cause the only other person to post anything today is Reynolds talking about his dive trip…

Wind Rider on December 25, 2007 at 9:25 PM

Your apartment looks nice enough that you could have afforded this on your own. Why’d you wait until now?

Its Tommy on December 25, 2007 at 9:26 PM

I can’t wait till you get the bill

Kini on December 25, 2007 at 9:26 PM

The beta phone from Apple quails before the alpha phone from Samsung.

flipflop on December 25, 2007 at 9:28 PM

SECOND LOOK AT THE IPHONE.

Bryan on December 25, 2007 at 9:30 PM

Um, it that…, Dudet? Dude?

Kini on December 25, 2007 at 9:33 PM

Merry Christmas, AP. Perhaps next year you can get one of those new “iPods” which everyone seems to be talking about.

wordwarp on December 25, 2007 at 9:34 PM

Hooray! Dreams do come true! There’s hope for us all!

frankj on December 25, 2007 at 9:35 PM

Your apartment looks nice enough that you could have afforded this on your own. Why’d you wait until now?

Its Tommy on December 25, 2007 at 9:26 PM

That’s not an apartment, just a well decorated cave far below the Manhatten streets where MM keeps him locked up.

Ah, I fear that now our beloved AP has become a mobile nerd and our favorite site will suffer accordingly.

conservnut on December 25, 2007 at 9:35 PM

Productivity drop in 3..2..1..

sweeper on December 25, 2007 at 9:40 PM

It’s a ~~Sad~~ Wonderful Life

You got an iPhone, look what I got.

Kini on December 25, 2007 at 9:41 PM

YAY

If it ever hooks up with Verizon, I’m getting one for myself, too!

Bob's Kid on December 25, 2007 at 9:44 PM

Come on Allah, give us the story!

Zorro on December 25, 2007 at 8:57 PM

He is too busy going through the activation process and down loading music and videos of humping robots.

tommylotto on December 25, 2007 at 9:45 PM

Sigh…more money for the leftist Steve Jobs and his lib-supporting corporation (with Al Gore on the board)

Congrats.

Spassvogel on December 25, 2007 at 9:46 PM

Congrats Allah, you’ve done a great job this year and earned it. I hope you didn’t open it to find it was just a child’s toy!

boomer on December 25, 2007 at 9:50 PM

Ohh wait it is a child’s toy either way yes?

boomer on December 25, 2007 at 9:50 PM

You must have been very good. When will you have time for HotAir now? You’ll be too busy playing with your new toy.

katieanne on December 25, 2007 at 9:51 PM

Now, instead of constant whining about not having an iPhone, we’ll endure constant whining about how awful AT&T is.

jgapinoy on December 25, 2007 at 9:52 PM

It’s a Festivus miracle!

ReubenJCogburn on December 25, 2007 at 9:58 PM

Merry Christmas, Allah! :) Glad you finally got the iPhone!

acleaver on December 25, 2007 at 9:59 PM

Miracles do happen!!

Remember, Allah. You may not believe in God, but he believes in you!

Hoodlumman on December 25, 2007 at 10:05 PM

Allah,

When Rush gave away the Iphones he included a check to pay for a year’s usage. Michelle probably gave you five years, right?

RW_theoriginal on December 25, 2007 at 10:06 PM

Dude. You’ve officially arrived. ;)

[Sidenote: My 84 yr. old inlaws repeatedly warned everyone all Christmas not to buy anything made in China or assembled in China and on and on. They told the story of "as they shopped they passed on everything with the 'made in China' label." If I heard it once I heard it 20 times. Kinda cute actually.]

Coolest thing about an iPhone? It doesn’t look like a camera.

Griz on December 25, 2007 at 10:06 PM

Thanks be to God Steve Jobs will have enough for a decent cuppa joe tomorrow morning. It was getting to be a near thing, cause foisting overpriced proprietary crap on Americans ain’t as easy as it once was, you know.

drunyan8315 on December 25, 2007 at 10:07 PM

F*#k technology. Get a life.

“Oh, sweet mystery of life, at last I’ve found you!”

Remember life?

thejackal on December 25, 2007 at 10:09 PM

God. Phone-blogging.

km on December 25, 2007 at 10:21 PM

Well deserved. I bet you’re feeling a little funny in the pants now.

ulyses on December 25, 2007 at 10:22 PM

See, Allahpundit. There is a Santa Claus!

hillbillyjim on December 25, 2007 at 10:23 PM

Heh. Merry Christmas, bro.

Jaibones on December 25, 2007 at 10:26 PM

Merry Christmas Allah, there is a Zeus. tehe
Seriously, my nephew got an Iphone and I loved it. Life is good!

d1carter on December 25, 2007 at 10:30 PM

A classic blogging moment, since you’ve been asking for it ever since the launch. Congratulations.

Baphomet on December 25, 2007 at 10:35 PM

iPhone and an autographed book?

Dude you made out…

Doogiesd on December 25, 2007 at 10:44 PM

*snif*

Chap on December 25, 2007 at 10:49 PM

If anyone deserved it, you did. Congrats Allah!

madne0 on December 25, 2007 at 10:51 PM

A SECOND LOOK AT THE BLEAKNESS OF EXISTENCE!

eeyore on December 25, 2007 at 10:55 PM

Congratulations! Yeah for iPhones. I can haz ur iPhone?

terryannonline on December 25, 2007 at 11:00 PM

Alright. First a signed copy from Miss Hirsi Ali, now an iPhone. Congrats dude, you are so lucky.

mram on December 25, 2007 at 11:03 PM

Merry CHRISTmas

jp on December 25, 2007 at 11:06 PM

Yes, today an iPhone. Tomorrow …. ? All us brats are never satisfied. Congrats for now, AP!

laelaps on December 25, 2007 at 11:06 PM

Another cult member recruited.

SPQR on December 25, 2007 at 11:08 PM

Congrats…and welcome to your new hell! Give us a review on how it works in a week or so AP.
Merry Christmas Bro!

lsutiger on December 25, 2007 at 11:10 PM

Wow, congrats, Allah!

“Ask, and it shall be given you.”

–Matthew 7:7

All right, I’m not sure that’s the right application of that Scripture, but we’re all pumped for you. You deserve it.

Merry Christmas!

marykatharine on December 25, 2007 at 11:15 PM

Allah getting his Iphone is already going viral.

Christmas Blog:Allah got his Iphone. From Jawa.

broker1 on December 25, 2007 at 11:20 PM

Like you have time to use that.

ej_pez on December 25, 2007 at 11:22 PM

Is that from Michelle or a follow-up “call me” gift from Hirsi Ali?
;-)

infidel4life on December 25, 2007 at 11:22 PM

This calls for an encore from the humpbot AP! Congrats, there really is a Santa Claus.

I wonder if we’ll hear from AP before Friday now that he has this. $20 says he’s up half the night figuring out how to use it.

Hammerhead on December 25, 2007 at 11:24 PM

That’s cool! I thought of you this morning :) Glad you got one!

Pam on December 25, 2007 at 11:28 PM

Grats Allah! Now the rest of us deal with the lack of posts while you figure out how to use it,,,

MalkinFan on December 25, 2007 at 11:30 PM

Congratulations. Great happy ending to this story. There’s Christmas movie potential here somewhere, if some dramatist can make the iPhone quest seem as spiritual and poignant as it was, instead of crass, as it would be likely to seem in the retelling.

I’m very happy for you.

And for me. I got one too, and it’s even better than I imagined, and very easy to get rolling with.

Splunge on December 25, 2007 at 11:47 PM

Ha..clearly whining and complaining will eventually get you what you want :) Merry Christmas. But the exit question is…does this “Christmas Miracle” make you reconsider your (respectful and sincere) lack of faith????

Dirthead on December 25, 2007 at 11:58 PM

And inside the box is a very tiny lamp shaped like a stocking-ed lady’s leg.

profitsbeard on December 26, 2007 at 12:02 AM

Congratulations, and Merry Christmas, Allah.

(”Merry Christmas, Allah” just sounds funny…or is it iAllah now?)

sulla on December 26, 2007 at 12:05 AM

My theory is that MM sent it “From: God” — just for the thank-you note.

Karl on December 26, 2007 at 12:07 AM

Congrats AP glad you got it, there is nothing better than new electronic gadgets.

gator70 on December 26, 2007 at 12:12 AM

Careful with that Allah. You’ll put your eye out.

(Good on you, man!)
