Them Hippies Was Right

I've been contemplating a post about this lunatic 'Assault on Christmas' or whatever that the peabrains at Fox have been pushing down the gullets of their hordes like so much gruel force fed to so many veal calves; eventually, of course, destined for the dinner table of one of their overfed, slobbering corporate masters.

ooo, that simile went a bit farther than I intended. Too far though? don't try and tell me that while O'reilly or even worse, Brit Hume are on the screen.

Anyways.

So, I was hoping to summon enough bile and ridicule for the subject; but meanwhile, they had a post over at Sadly, No! that started by talking about the 'War on Santa' and sequed into a discussion about the creeping idiocy in America. At which point, I humbly submitted a comment, complete with a gratuitous poker analogy.

And a couple of commenters agreed with me! Holy Schnikeys! Not only that, the said I was right.

I WAS RIGHT!!

Alert the media, wake the neighbors, tell my wife...

I was right!


Yeah, I know, I'm astonished too.

I probably should have gone for more snark.


UPDATE:

Apparently, there is a War on Christmas after all. I'm Always the Last to know.

UPDATE 2:

Fox News Joins the War on Christmas: Employees forced to participate in Holiday Party, no Christ to be seen. Do as I say, not as I do, eh Murdoch?

UPDATE 3:

The White House Hates Christmas, joins 'Holiday' Forces; also kicks puppies.



Alright, I was kidding about the puppies.

    Dude, nice site! Good tunes BTW

    So - I thought this whole war on Xmas was all settled ten years ago in the first South Park episode of Jesus Vs Santa?

    Fuckin-A, war on Xmas is so 90s.

  2. Thanks for stopping by.

    yeh, the Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight has finally found a can't lose issue. After all their pet topics have been blown to hell and gone.

    If the manufactured issue is ignored, they get to define the ters and bang on it as long as they want, or as long as Hume, O'Reilly and Limbaugh can keep their yaps flappin'

    And if we respond, they get the war they're looking for.

    So the only possible response is snark.
