Or Merry Christmas…you know…whatever…

He said that liberals and atheists and kittens were declaring a war on Christmas and now we have this news:
WASHINGTON, DC�In a sudden and unexpected blow to the Americans working to protect the holiday, liberal U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Stephen Reinhardt ruled the private celebration of Christmas unconstitutional Monday.

The odds weren’t good.
A second-class citizen in communist Vietnam, the daughter of a man who’d fought on the losing side of the Vietnam War, Xuan-Trang Ho was the youngest of a 10-member family that farmed to stay alive.
No electricity, no plumbing, half-days of school.
The family arrived in Lincoln [Nebraska] on a snowy December day almost [...]

Jen(nifer) posts her three choices for all-time worst Christmas song.
I don’t have a three worst songs. I have one song that I’d nominate for all three position. “Happy Holidays/It’s the Holiday Season,” sung (and written?) by Andy Williams, the robotic ’60s easy listening singer with the eyes of a James Bond villain. He’s a passable [...]

I have no idea what the hell this is, and it does cost $19,999.95…but I want one.

How many people heard an anti-administration type chortling over the “Bush served plastic turkey to troops in Iraq in ‘03″ story this holiday? I just heard my newsroom co-worker insist, without a shadow of doubt, that it was an absolute, incontrovertible fact that Bush posed with a plastic turkey, pretending it was a real one.
This [...]

Not that this day is ALL about food, but let’s face it…we eat more today than probably any other day out of the year.
I’ll be having green bean casserole, Cheezit corn bake surprise, turkey (of course), candied yams, cranberry sauce, mashed potatos and probably a glass of wine (or two).
How about you?

Me: So, what exactly is it that you do?
Kate Moss (with a thick British accent): Have you seen the video?
Me: You mean the one of you dancing around topless and then falling and hitting your head on a wind machine that isn’t safe to view at work?
Kate Moss: Yeah, that’s the [...]

Biscuits and Crisps, the adventures of “2 Irish girls who jacked in their jobs in London and Dublin repectively and traipsed off on a years adventure around d world.”

The singer is pissed, and rightly so:
“I do not have a child and all allegations saying so are false,” Jackson said in a statement released to the syndicated TV show “Access Hollywood.” A call to Jackson’s publicist wasn’t immediately returned.
On Friday, Young DeBarge, the brother of Jackson’s ex-husband, James DeBarge, told New York radio station [...]

Okay, this one is completely off-topic, but it’s so weird (like this post about David Copperfield) I can’t ignore it.
More on Janet Jackson’s secret:
U.S. singer Janet Jackson and James DeBarge, who were briefly married in 1984, had a daughter together, DeBarge’s brother Young DeBarge has claimed on a radio program.
Young DeBarge said the child, named [...]

He said: “Bull s**t! There is a great deal of new territory to conquer. In my next show I’m going to make a girl [...]

Archeologists excavating an ancient Chinese settlement turned over an upside-down clay bowl and found a surprise: this small pile of well-preserved noodles.
The bowl lay under 10 feet of sediment in the ruins of a small community beside the Yellow River that was destroyed by an earthquake about 4,000 years ago. That’s about 2,100 years earlier [...]

From the Glittering Eye comes the yum, yum, yum.
This one for Pickled Garlic looks extremely good, if you like that sort of thing.
Fortunately, I do.
I acquired a bulk tub of peeled garlic cloves at Samuel’s Society in the mistaken belief that the added convenience would mean that they would get used up quickly enough to [...]

R.I.P., M. Scott Peck, author of “The Road Less Travelled,” as memorialized by the London “Telegraph.”

Its opening sentence, “Life is difficult”, introduced a tome which argued, uncontentiously and sensibly, that human experience was trying and imperfectible, and that only self-discipline, delaying gratification, acceptance that one’s actions have consequences, and a determined attempt at spiritual growth [...]

This photo (online here) is labeled as an “undated handout combination image released September 27, 2005 by the Royal Society,” and is said to show “the first photographs of a live giant squid in its natural environment, taken by Japanese scientists in the Pacific Ocean.”
