The real war on Christmas

It's actually being waged by Bill O'Reilly and other right-wingers. I should know: It almost ruined my family's holiday dinner.

    A desperate last stand

    The Christmas season has always been a time for otherwise closet bigots to show their true nature. In the past it has centered on having nativity displays on public property.

    This year the stakes are higher. The shills of the conservative wing of the Republican party have become thoroughly discredited by Iraq, torture chambers Katrina,and Terrie Schizo. They must appeal to the lowest natures of their political base who accept the belief that a war on Christianity exists.

    —Michael Heilman
