Faux Wingnut Outrage: Xmas Edition

Former half-term Alaska Governor, wannabe celebrity, and brain-addled Fox News “analyst” Sarah Palin thinks the Obama White House’s official greeting card is “odd” because it fails to adequately highlight traditions like “family, faith and freedom.”

Evidently, Palin speaks for many rabid right-wing Obama haters out there… at least insofar as being shamelessly petty, hypocritical, and completely fucking ignorant.

Feliz Navidad

Beware the seemingly harmless fantasies you create – for you may come to regret them later. That seems to be the message of this intriguing short film by Alberto González Vázquez concerning a debate between a father and son about the existence of Santa Claus.

Warning: It’s in Spanish and so the dialog goes at a rapid clip, thereby making it somewhat challenging at times to keep up with the subtitles, so give it another run-through if necessary… it’s worth the effort. And for best effect, hit the full-screen mode on the clip.

To all my readers and most especially the good folks that elect to comment here on occasion, let me take this opportunity to wish you a very Merry Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of the year).

Happy 2010!

The spectacular fireworks display from Sydney, Australia last night, where of course, it’s already tomorrow.

Best wishes to everyone for a safe and happy New Year’s Eve celebration. Let’s all hope the next year/decade isn’t quite as massively craptacular as the last one.
