War on Christmas...
Anyone following this so-called War on Christmas that right wingers are dragging out again? They are convinced that it's a liberal secular plot to get people and stores to say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. I posted a cartoon about it yesterday. Sam Seder was on CNN and was debating with some guy from some organization like "Americans Against Kicking Puppies" or "Americans for American Values" anyway this Sam Seder guy ( who is a co-host with Janeane Garofalo on "The Majority Report", a radio program on Air America) really put the whole thing in context
SEDER: Listen, as far as the war on Christmas goes, I feel like we should be waging a war on Christmas. I mean, I believe that Christmas, it's almost proven that Christmas has nuclear weapons, can be an imminent threat to this country, that they have operative ties with terrorists and I believe that we should sacrifice thousands of American lives in pursuit of this war on Christmas. And hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money.
PHILLIPS: Is it a war on Christmas, a war Christians, a war on over-political correctness or just a lot of people with way too much time on their hands?
SEDER: I would say probably, if I was to be serious about it, too much time on their hands, but I'd like to get back to the operational ties between Santa Claus and al Qaeda.
PHILLIPS: I don't think that exists. Bob? Help me out here.
SEDER: We have intelligence, we have intelligence.
PHILLIPS: You have intel. Where exactly does your intel come from?
SEDER: Well, we have tortured an elf and it's actually how we got the same information from Al Libbi. It's exactly the same way the Bush administration got this info about the operational ties between al Qaeda and Saddam.
This is a standard diversionary tactic used by the right wing when they start tanking in the polls. They bring out these 'Culture War' issues and try and paint liberals as egg headed academics who want to destroy everything American. We'll be hearing about a 'War on Apple Pie' soon.

I can't believe the people that are trying to do away with Apple Pie. It's absolute insanity. Who do they think they're fooling? And do they realize the damage they're doing? Taking an Apple Pie and mashing it all up with a meat cleaver to disguise its true identity? I mean, really? Anyone with half a brain could tell you that if you close your eyes and take a big bite it still tastes the same. Now, the people that are baking apple products without the pastry, they're being a little more clever but are taking a bigger risk. Baking an Apple Crumble or Apple Crisp is still quite close to an Apple Pie. The only problem is that by doing so they are manipulating a tradition that has been around forever. They're trying to be sneaky but to no avail. Again, close your eyes and take a bite. Still pretty much tastes the same. The action that is of most threat to us all as the human race is the lack of baking apple products altogehter. This is the beginning of the end of the Apple Pie tradition. It will change our after dinner and late night snack experiences, eternally. The death of Apple Pie is near but it's not to late to alter the course of history. Actually, the ones that started the War on Apple Pie are the ones trying to alter the course of history. It's out job to stop that from happening. So we won't be altering the course of history. We'll be altering the alteration of the course of history which is a major task and requires a barrage of troops. Who's with me?
