Big ol' funky megapost with show information for tonight included

(Note: the following is snagged from shawnj)

Congressman John D. Dingell (MI-15) recited the following poem on the floor of the US House of Representatives concerning House Resolution 579, which expressed the sense of the House of Representatives that the symbols and traditions of Christmas should be protected. “Preserving Christmas” has been a frequent topic for conservative talk show hosts, including Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly.


Twas the week before Christmas and all through the House
No bills were passed ‘bout which Fox News could grouse;
Tax cuts for the wealthy were passed with great cheer,
So vacations in St. Barts soon would be near;

Katrina kids were nestled all snug in motel beds,
While visions of school and home danced in their heads;
In Iraq our soldiers needed supplies and a plan,
Plus nuclear weapons were being built in Iran;

Gas prices shot up, consumer confidence fell;
Americans feared we were on a fast track to…well…

Wait--- we need a distraction--- something divisive and wily;
A fabrication straight from the mouth of O’Reilly

We can pretend that Christmas is under attack
Hold a vote to save it--- then pat ourselves on the back;
Silent Night, First Noel, Away in the Manger
Wake up Congress, they’re in no danger!

This time of year we see Christmas every where we go,
From churches, to homes, to schools, and yes…even Costco;
What we have is an attempt to divide and destroy,
When this is the season to unite us with joy

At Christmas time we’re taught to unite,
We don’t need a made-up reason to fight
So on O’Reilly, on Hannity, on Coulter, and those right wing blogs;
You should just sit back, relax…have a few egg nogs!

‘Tis the holiday season: enjoy it a pinch
With all our real problems, do we honestly need another Grinch?

So to my friends and my colleagues I say with delight,
A merry Christmas to all,
and to Bill O’Reilly…Happy Holidays.



As for tonight's show, next weekend will be pretty well taken up for folks being Christmas weekend (or whichever you celebrate) so I'm not planning much of anything for then. Therefore tonight's show will be the annual Right Royal Pre-Christmas Pissup show. It's usually second in depravity only to the New Year's Eve show.

There shall be Much 80's and danceable stuff played as well as the usual mayhem. So gird yer loins, kids, because this is going to be a gooooood one.

It sounds like such a fun show! I've been missing your shows lately, but streaming slows down our whole network and I can't do anything else on the computer at the same time. Maybe tonight, though, I can run it while I'm sewing... that'd be good company!

Can I borrow the stream on Sunday for the Tap christmas party?

Oh, I don't see why not.
