Sunday Tidbits

Once again Focus on the Family, always a reasonable and sensible group, has announced their annual defense against the (imaginary) War on Christmas.  Categorizing retail stores as either naughty (says “Happy Holidays” BOOOO) or nice (says “Merry Christmas” Heart, Heart, Heart) a “Christmas Friendly Shopping Guide” has been issued so all good little fundies will know who to take their Christmas bizness too.  Can someone give these people lives for Christmas?

Like cute cat videos?  (Of course you do.  Doesn’t everybody?)  Check out this vid of cats conversing then check out the translation.  Funny stuff!  H/T to kcindenver (yes the daughter has logged on and is now leaving me comments.)

More after the fold.

Does the media still refer to us as a Center Right Country?  Steve Benen muses and references Dave Sirota’s chart of times the term has been used since the election to conclude that “yes, they do”.  MSM - get over it.  We are not center right anymore, we are center L.E.F.T. left.  Leftleftleftleftleft.  Oh yeah, and we WON too.  Suck on it!

I thought it was already official but apparently now it really is.  Robert Gibbs is officially Obama’s press secretary!  (Hugs self, does little dance of happiness remembering how Gibbsy smacked-smacked-smacked down Sean Hannity that day.)  Couldn’t immediately find a link but I’m sure somebody could dig one up?  So we could watch it again?  Mostly just for pleasure.

The guvmint is now poised to hash out some kind of bailout for Citigroup.  Holy Jeebus - how many more of these will have to happen?  And wasn’t Citigroup on the verge of buying Wachovia just a few weeks ago?  That would’ve worked out well - we’d be rescuing two more banks now instead of just one.  Is there an end in sight?

Welcome thoughts on these and anything else.  Throw in any other tidbits you may have seen the last day or two.

Fuckus on the Family is no doubt pleased to know that because no one has any money, fewer people will suffer the aural assault of hearing a heathenish “Happy Holidays.”

Me, I’m just glad these asshats continue to shout “Lookit Us! We’re irrelevant!”

Saves me the trouble.

Hate is not a growth industry: http://www.denverpost.com/commented/ci_11006669?source= commented-news

Guess the Kill Fags for Jeebus Crowd will have less disposable income to spend on Baby Jeebus Consumer Frenzy-Fest this year.

I don’t feel badly about this in the least. When your life’s work is based on hating and hurting others, you deserve pain in return.

Crap!

My prayers for money, oops I mean prosperity were largely ignored by god this year.

Lord, please forgive me for the urge to file down the end of a candy cane to a point and then shoving it up James Dobson’s ass for Christmas.

at danger of being attacked,

I actually saw that video on the PUMA site….

Hate is not a growth industry:

Heh.  And no organization could deserve it more. 

kcindenver:  Never reveal your sources.  And isn’t it your bedtime?

Has SpongeDob or any of the other Ficus On The Family creatures ever realized that by posting a list for all to see, others can just use it to frequent the “Happy Holidays” stores to offset their little semantics crusade?

Love it!

Re: the link that Kerry Reid provided, I think one of the commentators on that post said it best:

Maybe those laid off will find real work.
Important work.
Work in which they make a contribution to the world.

Couldn’t have said it better myself!  I hate to see people lose their jobs, but I’d be happy to see the “hate industry” shrink as much as possible and go back to where nutjob extremists belong - marginalized and on the fringe and not taken seriously, no matter how loud they whine.

I can only hope that we are moving towards a new era - where people are focused on real problems and getting real work done instead of trying to stir up hate-mongering and divisiveness.

Unfortunately Focus on the Family (an oxymoron if I ever heard one) does not seem to be heading in that direction.  They seem to be pretty “focused” on continuing their message of “think like us or go to hell.”  Sad.
