THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS COMES EARLIER EVERY YEAR

ITEM: The Hussein Obamas declare Christmas illegal in the White House.

It says so in this anonymous chain email from a friend of a friend:

White House will not do Christmas

Thought you might be interested in this information from the White House. This isn’t a rumor; this is a fact.

We have a friend at church who is a very talented artist. For several years she, among many others, has painted ornaments to be hung on the various White House Christmas trees. The WH usually sends out an invitation to send an ornament and informs the artists of the theme for the year.

She got her letter from the WH recently. It said that they would not be called Christmas trees this year. They will be called Holiday trees. And, to please not send any ornaments painted with a religious theme.

She was very upset at this development and sent back a reply telling them that she only painted the ornaments for Christmas trees and would not be sending any for display that left Christ out of Christmas.

Just thought you should know what the new residents in the WH plan for the future of America . If you missed his statement that "we do not consider ourselves a Christian Nation" this should confirm that he plans to take us away from our religious foundation as quickly as possible.

So it must be true.

Mostly.

DEER TWITTER, I POLOGIZE THAT I HAS BOOBS, KTHXBYE

ITEM: Meghan McCain has apologized for posting this picture on her Twitter account.



Apparently she forgot that Red State America doesn’t handle boobs well.

Wait, I said that wrong.

I meant “public boobs”.

I don’t blame her for being miffed at the all the “slut” comments she got. What I don’t get is why SHE’S the one doing the apologizing.

I mean sure, she’s Republican. But it’s not like she’s ever really adhered to the party line on sex.

Probably one of those embarrassing phone calls from Dad again.

"I know, Dad ... I KNOW, Dad ... aw c'mon, it's not like I did a Janet Jackson or ... yeah but ... yeah but ... well it's not like they're YR ... well I AM 24 now ... yeah I know but ... aw geez, Dad ... okay, geez, you don't hafta holler ... fine ... okay, look Dad, I gotta go ..."

Cover up,

HOME TAPING IS KILLING MUSIC: A HISTORY

Seeing as how the RIAA/MPAA Copyright Infringement Freakout has reached the point where bringing a laptop into a cinema in the UK is forbidden because you might use to pirate the film (don’t ask me how) ....

AND seeing as how various countries in the world are negotiating a new international copyright law that only 42 people are allowed to read (after signing non-disclosure agreements) because the contents are vital to national security ...

Here’s a little weekend reading material for you: Ars Technica has put together a nice chronicle of the history of Established Copyright Status Quo vs New Technologies that threaten to undermine the status quo and kill off the music and movie business forever – from player pianos and gramophones to DVRs and digital TV.

Bottom line: the RIAA/MPAA party line (“if you allow this, the music and film business will die”) is a hundred years old. And yet they’re still here.

Going going gone,
