Happy Holi... Christmas

Bill O'Reilly sure is funny. He is talking about the War On Christmas while his online store is selling "O'Reilly Factor Holiday Ornaments". Heheh.

But of course, in all dorky feel-good activist movements, you get one example of people getting a little bit carried away: In Sapulpa, Oklahoma, overzealous defenders of Christmas are demanding that their Chamber of Commerce change the name of the "Winterfest Christmas Parade" because... well... it doesn't focus on the word Christmas quite enough. No really. The Chamber of Commerce says they have no plans to join the insanity at this time.

Well, Christmas Merry to all of you in Sapulpa.

Oh... and just in case Bill O'Reilly is reading my blog:

EASTER: Originally a Saxon word (Eostre), denoting a goddess of the Saxons, in honour of whom sacrifices were offered about the time of the Passover. GO GET 'EM BILL!
