via Jesus’ General, who is outraged to find himself nominated for a Weblog Award in the “Best Liberal Blog” category. Outrage! They will soon see the error of their ways and reinstate him in the Conservative category, as befits such a manly heteropublican warrior in the fight against Democrats and all they stand for. Like democracy.
In any case, the blogosphere and Fox news are abuzz over this War On Christmas. Captained by a shadowy cabal of nameless lefties, the War On Christmas seeks to eliminate as non-PC this glorious Christian celebration. Well it seems that the evil jihadi masterminds have decided to capitalize on their notoriety by issuing this book on Lulu.com, thus revealing their nefarious scheme to the entire world. Let’s just take a look then, shall we?
The nefarity! The outrageous daring of these secular liberals! Whodathunk Woody Allen, Keith Olbermann et al would be so confrontational? Their shrinks musta put them up to it!
All nefarious lefty plots have a manifesto. It’s the only tradition they’ve ever known.
Ah, Bob Marley. I knew there would be drugs involved somehow. There always are with these lefties!
Bill O’Reilly, our hopes and dreams rest on your broad shoulders.

Stole this from Curtis @ Can’t See the Forest, obviously another sadist, albeit more closety about it than me. Apparently if you shake it just right, the little girl vomits.
You know, there are some jobs that just don’t pay enough. Iain Dale thinks being a British MP should entitle one to a cool hundred thousand a year, but name me one MP who routinely gets peed on (Oaten‘s not still an MP, is he?) as well as screamed at, and who is forced to wear such ridiculous and overheated gear. If they made them dress funny, THEN it might be worth paying them more. I think Bozo outfits would be appropriate, don’t you? The Brits only make lawyers dress up like that nowadays, and I am sure the opportunity to dress like a relatively sane member of society circa 1986 is what attracts so many lawyers to the service of their country through politics.
Yeah, that’s what it is.
In any case, looming large among jobs you couldn’t pay me enough to do is this: Shopping Mall Santa.
And why? Let’s examine this Chicago Tribune slideshow of over 60 photos dating back to the Fifties. It’s entitled Scared of Santa, and for obvious reasons. Enjoy.
As for me and my sibling-unit, the only time we had such an incident was one time my sister, a mere toddler in a velvet miniskirt, misunderstood the way the deal worked and demanded her present before she would leave Santa‘s lap. This was, naturally, refused. Through the sonic firestorm that ensued, my father had difficulty making the actual terms understood, and finally resorted to the old trick of picking up something shiny and throwing it off-camera, so she’d scamper off in pursuit. Worked like the proverbial charm, of course, as Santa and I exchanged confidential winks.
To this day I understand that she treasures this length of tinsel, but I do not believe that her appreciation of it at the moment of gifting was as great as Santa‘s, my father’s, or, indeed, my own.
Look! It’s V for Santa! She must be a fascist!
Watch out, fatman; she’s got a mean left hook!
and sometimes it’s simply unanimous!

Normally, I don’t like Christmas stuff before December 1st, but this year and particularly this Fall have just been so spectacularly crappy that I feel the need. I’ve gotta have a hit of the beautiful freakery that is the Vestibules‘ song Christmas on Acid, accompanied by bizarre out-takes of classic Christmas cartoons. My only regret is that this video is 100% Davy and Goliath-free.
Christmas on Acid
A family gathering with presents and fun
Another Christmas and this one’s wonderful
Presents and cheer, candy canes and gingerbread men
But wait, the gingerbread men have come alive
They’re moving round the room and now they’re on fire
They’re moving round the room and now they’re on fire
Why do I see these things?
It’s not the rum and egg nog
It’s not the holiday fun
It’s Chrismas on acid
Christmas on acid
My stocking’s full of spiders and snakes
My little cousins have become walking talking fruitcakes
The whole family’s looking at me cause I’ve got the shakes
Why do I see these things?
It’s not the rum and egg nog
It’s not the holiday fun
It’s Chrismas on acid
Christmas on acid
The turkey’s dancing on grandma’s head
And her eyes are a devil red
Santa’s dead, oh Santas dead
Why do I see these things?
It’s not the rum and egg nog
It’s not the holiday fun
It’s Chrismas on acid
Christmas on acid
