A Heathen's Perspective

From politics to media, from music to spiritual matters, and from obscure issues to the latest hot button topics, comes the blabber from a true heathen, without regard to the breaking wind of socially-acceptable attitudes, yet with an almost sacred devotion to humor in the face of today's polarized, shout-down-your-opponents climate of fear and intimidation.

Mary Christmas & A Hippie New Ear, Everyone!

I know, I know. Ya got yer basic Pat Robertson, yer Bill O'Really, and yer basic John Fibson at Faux Snewz tellin' us ALL about that nasty "war on Christmas." Did you happen to catch the Daily Show with Jon Stewart last week? When he showed O'Really's claim that both Plano, Texas schools and Saginaw, Michigan had banned Christmas colors or some other equally clueless thing? It got so bad in Plano that the superintendent of schools had to call all the parents to let them know Buh-Bill was talkin' out of his hat! And I hear it was Big News in Saginaw! Fake News...kinda like The Daily Show - Now THAT'S! what I call the XXX-Mas Spirit ~

From Nicholas Kristof's OpEd piece today, here's a prime quote from Mr. Bill:

-----

(I'm tempted to think that Mr. O'Reilly is actually a liberal plant, meant to discredit conservatives. Think about it. Who would be a better plant than a self-righteous bully in the style of Father Coughlin or Joe McCarthy? What better way to caricature the right than by having Mr. O'Reilly urge on air that the staff of Air America be imprisoned: "Dissent, fine; undermining, you're a traitor. Got it? So, all those clowns over at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the F.B.I. and just put them in chains, because they, you know, they're undermining everything.")
