A Krauthammer Christmas! Help!

[editor's note, by daria g]/Update [2004-12-17 10:44:19 by daria g]: OK, a preface. I'm being really flip here, and I know that. At the heart of my disgust, which some replies have made me realize, is that I'm getting ready to go home and celebrate Christmas with my family - and yet now everywhere I turn I'm finding it turned into a massive political football by the right, and I wish they'd take a break, frankly.

Yet another conservative scold is complaining about alleged complaints about Christmas.  One can only wonder why these people don't prefer to take a holiday themselves from all the complaining.  

Sure, there are some disagreements on the local level going on out there.  But really, I find this whole round of right-wing fretting over an assault on Christmas so transparently calculated, so gratingly predictable, the usual howling cacophony of fake outrage seems oddly reduced to a single flat, plodding note that was first sounded by Fox News and just goes on and on and on and on...  

Just Leave Christmas Alone

It is Christmastime, and what would Christmas be without the usual platoon of annoying pettifoggers rising annually to strip Christmas of any Christian content?

[editor's note, by daria g]To which I reply.. it'd probably be quite pleasant if there weren't a very loud platoon with a nationwide megaphone sweeping all these small, local stories into one giant ball of political anger.

I figure there are only two ways to deal with this story.

One, wild speculation.  What will be the hot target for the right wing whine brigade's next round of baseless trumped-up outrage?  A lack of fair and balanced McCarthy biopics?  The fact that some people in Louisiana still speak French?  Project Runway?  The state of Rhode Island?

Two, adding insult to injury.  I'd really like to annoy Charles Krauthammer and other conservatives more, if that's possible.  Actually, since I regard all these complaints to be entirely bereft of the least bit of sincerity, I'd like to at least do them the favor of giving the outrage a shade of authenticity by annoying them for real, for real.  How can we do that?  Ideas welcome.  

Take the poll.
