They can't stop being assholes, even on Christmas Eve.
Look what some self-righteous doofus posted to the Usenet group, rec.music.rock-pop-r+b.1950s:


Well, it's come to this...

Holiday greetings from me.and my corporate attorney.

Best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most joyous traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, but with respect for the religious persuasion of others who choose to practice their own religion as well as those who choose not to practice a religion at all;


Additionally, a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2005, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions have helped make our society great, without regard to the race, creed, color, religious, or sexual preferences of the wishes.

(Disclaimer: This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others and no responsibility for any unintended emotional stress these greetings may bring to those not caught up in the holiday spirit.)


And my response:

Another non-issue designed to distract people from the important problems facing our world today. Fuck you very much, neocons!

5. this has been around for, what, 10 years now?
It's hilarious.

Democrats just can't help themselves - we take the bait every time they wave it in front of us, and even when they aren't waving it in front of us, we'll go looking for bait anywhere we can find it.

8. Well, I've been called an asshole before, and worse, but
I think it's funny, too. Saw it last year and still think it's funny.

9. Curses...Foiled Again...
Our LIBERAL conspiracy to ruin Christmas has failed!!!
Mid-Night Mass was CROWDED, and I saw some happy children with some new toys....so it looks like our plot failed.

Well, it's not too late to ruin Easter.
Y'all LIBERALS meet me at the secret hideout to help with the sinister plan to kill the Easter Bunny!!!!
