Season's beatings

Every year, it seems, one more locally placed Nativity scene is removed; one more Christmas tree becomes a Holiday tree or Winter Festival tree. Every year, we're supposed to be a little more afraid of offending someone by wishing them a Merry Christmas as we check out at the stores, or as we (in academia) leave for Christmas Break (whups! sorry! "Winter Break"). Political correctness, which seems to permit freedom of expression for all who aren't practicing Christians can fuck right the fuck off.

So can the killjoys that like to get to happy people by cutting "I hate Christmas" declarations. I might dislike celebrating the holiday with my family, but that's because of my family, not the holiday, and I try very hard not to ruin it for all. Those who are rude and self-centered enough to enjoy trying to ruin others' Christmas spirit can fuck right the fucking fuckety fuck off with those thin, pointy, glass Christmas baubles filled with high-proof eggnog.

On a more personal note, sinus headaches that devolve into migraines when you can't take anything besides Tylenol (and when coffee makes you sick) can also fuck off.

Have at it, and have a good weekend.

Damn effin' straight on the "We practice tolerance and diversity and celebrate religious expression...WAIT?!?@ You want to have a CHRISTMAS TREE UP?!?!?! No WAY! That might OFFEND someone!" attitude.

I swear, there will come a day when we are back to the Puritan mode of not being allowed to celebrate - though for reasons the Puritans would not recognize.

My for-real FTFO goes out to Charlie "Don't you censure me!" Rangel, though. Dude, just STFU already. You did bad stuff. You are getting what amounts to a slap on the wrist for it. Be grateful it wasn't worse. Don't contribute to the circus even further by getting up and whining about how you've been so greatly wronged by what is being done to you.(Be grateful you are not Tom Delay, for example...)

So, Fuck You, Charlie. Go away. You're a corrupt and obviously petty little man, and I'm tired of you.

Amen to all of the above. Also, fuck off to interminable meetings that go way overtime with no good reason. I hate it when people try to pack 10 minutes of information into an hour and a half.

Heh, that was going to be my FO, HH--we Philadelphians had a week of "the City is changing Christmas Village to Holiday Village," followed by average citizens' saying, "But we weren't offended by the name!!!", followed by, "We're changing it back and aren't we wonderful?" Give me a fucking break.

And I second what Ken said about meetings.
