Question Why does Laura Bush hate Christmas?

Wow! Wait till Bill O'Reilly and Jerry Falwell hear about this!



MRS. BUSH: Well, all things bright and beautiful is the theme this year. I think it will be really bright and beautiful with this fabulous tree. But thank you all very much. Happy holidays. I know this is the real start of the season, the Monday after Thanksgiving, and so I want to wish everybody happy holidays. And we'll see you later this week with the White House decorations.

Thank you very much to the Deal Family. Thanks for coming.

Not once did she mention the word Christmas. She didn't even call it a Christmas tree!

Looks like Jerry Falwell and Bill O'Reilly were right. The Godless secularists have taken over and they're forcing everyone to say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." I wonder if Mrs. Bush is aware of Rev. Falwell's Ho, Ho, Ho, Friend or Foe Campaign? I think he threatened to sue anyone who said "Happy Holidays." And Bill O'Reilly threatened to mention their name publicly on his Fox News show.

Didn't you mean to say, "Lady of the evening, lady of the evening, lady of the evening" instead of "Ho, Ho, Ho."? ....and I thought you'd be a little more politically correct than that!

No, the Ho, Ho, Ho part was a reference to Rev. Jerry Falwell's "Friend or Foe Christmas Campaign." You can sign up for it on his website. Rev. Falwell has threatened to file lawsuits against anyone who tries to interfere with the celebration of Christmas. Target Corporation is a 'target' <groan> of his wrath because they have supposedly instructed their sales associates to greet customers with "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas."

As you can see from this search using "Jerry Falwell's Christmas," Ho, Ho, Ho, Friend or Foe" is the heading for an article in the San Francisco Chronicle about Rev. Falwell's campaign. http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q...NH&srch_type=0

Whenever schrocat or I use the phrase "Ho, Ho, Ho" in a non-Christmasy sort of way, we are talking about the real White House Ho, Jeff Gannon (aka James Guckert).

As far as Bill "Falafel" O'Reilly is concerned, he has annointed himself as the defender of Christmas. He says he's the only one willing to stand up for Christmas. Anyone who says "Happy Holidays" is liable to have his name announced on-air by Bill "Loofah" O'Reilly. (Mr. O'Reilly seems to confuse loofah and falafel when making his unwelcome, obnoxious, sexually explicit telephone calls to his hapless female employees. However, $10 million seems like reasonable compensation for the verbal abuse he inflicts over the phone.)

I *HATE* when it send messages automatically!

...now, as I was saying,

Dear Ninong,
I really did know what you were referring to. I was making a joke about how absurd the politically correct set can go. By the way, my canine-american ("dog" is so derogatory) does celebrate a non-sectarian mid-winter holiday.

Happy Holidays!
Bubba

Happy Hanukkah!

From now on, I'm going to assume everyone is Jewish and wish everyone Happy Hanukkah! I mean, after all, we've been wishing them Merry Christmas for years and they just smile and bear it, so it's about time we turned things around and wished everyone Happy Hanukkah instead.

I'm sure Jerry Falwell, James Dobson and Pat Robertson would agree that turn around is fair play.

So, Happy Hanukkah everyone. And a very special Happy Hanukkah to Bill O'Reilly!




P.S. -- Jerry Falwell has threatened to sue anyone who tries to interfere with the celebration of Christmas, Bill O’Reilly told a Jewish man who called in to his program to “go to Israel” if he was uncomfortable with the barrage of Christmas cheer, and Pat Robertson said that people who didn’t celebrate Christmas should “go back to Saudi Arabia.”

Bill O'Reilly is a courageous soldier in the war on Christmas. He's on the side of Christmas! Using the phrase "Happy Holidays" in your Christmas advertising goes against everything Jesus taught.

Bill is also serving in the war on terror. He's on the side of the terrorists. He has invited them to come over and blow up San Francisco. He promised they they would be welcomed as liberators with flowers and kisses. He said it would be a "cakewalk."

Visit Bill's website to register your vote in his poll calling for a boycott of San Francisco. So far 82% of his viewers agree with the proposition that they should stay away from San Francisco. That's GREAT NEWS for those of us who live there, or used to live there, and are thrilled that so many Factorheads have promised to stay away. Far, far away. Maybe they'll all move to Idaho and join a neo-Nazi group or something.

If you're having a hard time trying to find the 'right' Christmas present for that hard to please person on your Christmas shopping list, try Bill's fine selection of Factor Gear. I'm sure that special someone will be thrilled to receive something that identifies him as a Factorhead.



P.S. -- Which is worse, a Factorhead or a Dittohead? Or is that an oxymoronic question?

Proper etiquette

Ninong,

Bill O'Riled Up talks in Jax soon. I'm giving my 2 tickets to a friend.

Question.

Does my friend wear a custom made Loofah trucker hat?
Or...
Take a Loofah and a Black Sharpie and get it signed?
Or...
maybe get this shirt and have it signed?

Have this pic silk screened on a T-shirt:

Billzilla destroys San Francisco.

Carry a secret audio player of some sort and at an appropriate moment in Mr. O'Reilly's presentation, blast away at full volume with his own voice screaming "Shut Up!" and "Cut his mic!"

Anarchist Rabble Rouser!
That suggestion could cost someone a night in the Duval County Jail and 700.00 bail.

Not sure if you can even bond out without a first appearance on that one...

My friend is just looking for Bill to come across the table with his "Fire Engine Red Christmas Face"(tm) and clinched "Punching Action Leprechaun Fists" (tm). He doesn't want the Tazer to the groin thing our State champions.

Poor Mr. O'Reilly. It was little consolation that he won gold, silver and bronze in the Worst Person in the World Contest on the same day that his loofah shower scene was passed over in favor of some British food critic's shower scene in the 13th annual Bad Sex in Fiction award today in London. Obviously the Brits were biased in favor of British kinky sex.

It's a pity that there is so little appreciation in the liberal media for the passionate conservative kinky sex of the kind championed by the likes of Mr. O'Reilly, Mr. Libby and Mrs. Cheney.

Maybe I'm being too harsh on Bill...

What is the origin of the word Holiday?

Is it Latin for secular.

I see where Jerry Falwell is upset that the City of Boston is calling their Christmas Tree a Holiday Tree. He's threatening to sue them.

I looked and looked but I couldn't find a reference where Jesus said anything about what to call your Christmas tree. Maybe it's in that hidden passage where he says that you should not use Happy Holidays in your Christmas advertising?

I don't understand why it took us so long over here to realize that Jesus wanted us to set up Christmas trees? I think it was the Germans who figured this out first but it took them some 1500 years after Jesus' death before they figured out what he wanted them to do. Then when King George III married that German woman, Charlotte something-or-other, she brought the pagan tradition of Christmas trees to England with her. The tradition didn't really get going over here until the 1850's.

As any good fundamentalist Christian will be quick to tell you, Christmas trees have nothing to do with the pagan celebration of evergreen trees representing a renewal of life. In fact, those trees were the first Holiday Trees and not true Christmas Trees. The pagans decorated their Holiday Trees with food and flowers instead of nice gold and silver ornaments like you will find on a true Christmas Tree.

In fact, I think the first mention of Christmas trees is found in Jeremiah 10 1:5 --

Jeremiah 10

1Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel.


2Thus saith the LORD: "Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

3For the customs of the people are vain; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.

4They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

5They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not; they must be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good."

I noticed you quoted the King James Version... that is the edition of the Bible that Jesus carried, by the way. ...or at least that's what I heard once.
