I Have NEVER Seen Anything So Fucking Stupid! |
|
Edited on Wed Dec-14-05 07:54 PM by DistressedAmerican
The house debate on protecting Christmas symbols while people remain displaced by hurricanes and our men and women are dying overseas. This dumb bitch from Virginia should be hauled out of there and never allowed back in. This is fucking ridiculous! I want to puke down that repug skank's christmas sweater. Screw her and all asshats that go along with this Fox news shit. Our country really is fucked up. We should be ashamed of ourselves and our government.
These fools make me ashamed to be an American!

to the rhythm of "T'was the Night Before Christmas" basically mocking this attack on Christmas as a total non-issue, dropping in little tidbits about children displaced by Katrina and the war. He ended it with "Ho, Ho, Ho, and to Bill O'Reilly, Happy Holidays."

What is this "shpingle"?
It's certainly all borscht-belt sounding enough... :D
Edit: On second thought, if it "tingles", I can guess that it might also dangle. :blush:
Never mind.

7. I'm still a bit confused about this "war on Christmas" stuff |
|
I don't watch the MSM so I don't know what they're referring to. Is someone trying to end Christmas as a Federal Holiday? All our state buildings have Christmas trees on the front lawn, so that seems doubtful. Heck, I'm an atheist and I have a Christmas wreath on my front door and a nativity scene on my mantle; it's a family tradition and part of my heritage, but no one has tried to steal either the wreath or the ceramic baby Jesus. So, what gives? :shrug:

54. Extremists from the Religious Right started the "War" |
|
First, they complained about Macy's policy of having their employees say "Happy Holidays." Actually, the phrase originally meant "Merry Christmas, Happy New Year & Hope you had a good Thanksgiving." It morphed into a way to greet people without offending them if they didn't celebrate Christmas. Many cities have begun celebrating the season without saying "Christmas"--lots of people like the lights, the songs, etc. Nobody has EVER questioned the right of private citizens to use whatever greeting they prefer or to put nativity scenes in their front yard.
These extremists are good at letter-writing campaigns & at supplying material to dull-witted members of the media who'd rather not cover real stories.

Our reps are playing to the lowest common denominator, rednecks. These a$$holes don't realize Moosehead is a beer. They don't know the the difference between pumpkin and "pump kin", but to a man they stand behind their President. I wouldn't be surprised to see them start a "shoot a liberal for Christmas" campaign.

Which is why I won't feel sorry for any of them if the country collapses. You could have done something about the *real* issues, conservatives, but all you cared about was whether people were saying "Merry Christmas" or not. So if you suffer after the collapse, don't expect me to comfort you.

40. I thought this was Stewart's finest hour. I thought I looked like... |

a nude Ruth Bader Ginsberg -- but never was able to make an avatar of her!!!
Behind the robes, Stewart finds controversy (2004) By Bob Minzesheimer, USA TODAY
Page 99 of the best-selling satire America (The Book) by Jon Stewart and the writers of The Daily Show shows the justices of the Supreme Court as they have never been seen before: naked, as in full-frontal, sagging nudity. Wal-Mart canceled its order for America: The Book after learning there were naked Supreme Court judges lurking inside.
The photos are obviously doctored. The heads belong to the seven men and two women on the court, but the bodies are from ClothesFree.com, a nudist Web site.
The book also has cutouts of the justices' robes and urges readers to "restore their dignity by matching each justice with his or her respective robe."
Stewart's sendup of a high school textbook is No. 1 on USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list for the second week. (The list is published Thursdays.) But Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, isn't laughing.

this happened earlier. They went from the "attack on Christmas" which the Virginia broad widened to include "red and green colors, candy canes and Santa" (I kid you not, it's a quote) then on to making January "Jewish History Month", and after that, the pressing matter of congratulating Tony Stewart on his Nextel Cup victory.

stopped at store on way home from work yesterday. Wandering in the parking lot were a group of people with petitions - one asked me to sign it
The petition asked that town officials "officially" recognize Merry Christmas...
Not having time to argue and tell the person how freaking stupid it was - I just said no thanks
the person then says "have a Merry Christmas"
so I replied "and a Happy Hanukkah to you"
