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.

    Nice Article

    I feel you Wil.

    It's tough having Republicans in the family.

    At least my family has managed to move beyond the anger and suspicion. We just mess with each other now...I had a "Another Democrat for Bush" bumper sticker placed on my car. It was answered with a generous donation in that person's name to the ACLU, which was answered with an Ann Coulter poster (she's hot, in an Eva Braun kinda way), which was very recently answered with a copy of Al Franken's latest...ad infinitum; I would suppose.

    The point is, we've all come to the understanding that you can't change a person's beliefs no matter how stupid and counter to their own interests they appear to be.

    Really great piece. Happy Holidays!
