I added a new link under Watch Dogs. The Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington is a sight worth taking a look.

This Week the Idiot Wind Blowing goes to Fox News for there coverage of "The War On Christmas." Fox News has become News for People Who don't like News, or better yet, News for those who don't want to know. Now that most Americans have come to the realization that we were lied to about Iraq, Fox News and other corporate controlled competitors are trying to distract us with stories about missing white girls and this new Liberals vs. Christmas bull$#!t. There is no liberal attack on Christmas! However, there are some that are aware that we are a diverse society with many different faiths and ideas. Some may choose not to call it a Christmas Tree, or may instead wish one happy holidays. It is a simple right of speech and not an affront on anyone's tradition. Christmas was not a National Holiday until almost a hundred years after we became a nation. In some parts of the country Christmas was banned because it was seen as European and/or it offended Fundamentalist Baptists and other Christians. I suppose if Fox News was around back then they would accuse Baptist of hating God. The Christmas Tree has little to nothing to do with Jesus or Christianity and has become a secular symbol. But the Idiot Wind continues to blow between the ears of the Fox News enthusiasts.

I call it a Christmas Tree. Merry Christmas to you. Now can we please get back to 24-hour coverage of missing white girls from around the world. It's not like there is some major corruption or unethical war going on.

My Christmas tree beat up your "Holiday Tree."

That's all you need to know.

See Freddy-Fan's blog for a reminder.
