A few words at this point about cultural cross connections….
In my neighborhood there is a yard display of epic content and ambition… It has all the usual trees encrusted in lights from base to twig tip, the flashing sidewalk side lights showing the passerby the way to the front door.. It enjoys the truly majestic roof cloaking of possibly a couple of thousand twinkling tiny sliver lights and of course a life sized sleigh and reindeer…. There is no chimney but that hardly seems to matter…
AND ,…..as the “coupe’de grace” as it were,... a life size diorama on the lawn of that historic event that took place when SANTA brought the BABY JESUS some gaily wrapped presents!!!!!!
YES !!!
Just like it happened in the Bible!!!
Why I remember when that took place myself…it was right after Santa bravely defeated the Nazis at Pearl Harbor and flew to Europe so that he could prevent Al Queda from starting a Nuclear Summer. This enabled Santa to quickly race back to Trenton , New Jersey and with the help of his elves produce and hand out enough Ice Skates to equip each of George Washington’s Revolutionaries in a truly professional fashion . Thus George and friends managed to skate across the Potomac River and save Francis Scott Keyes from the Japanese and that allowed the Poet Keyes to branch out and write our national anthem…the Battle Hymn Of the Republic…
Thanks again SANTA!!!!!!!!

Most of you have figured it out I'm sure....
All I've been up to is an attempt to enlighten by shining a bright light on behavior that regardless from whence it springs, it is as reprehensible, as evil , as mindboggling stupid as anything can be.
I'm heartened by folks like Colbert who do the thing they do so well that the butt of the joke actually thinks they are in fact the good example...not the joke.

So......
Well I guess you are all aware of the historic happenings lately...
NO.... I am not talking about Obama...

I AM TALKING ABOUT THE Feast OF Crispianus..
Did you all remember to take your used shoes to the houses of the wealthy???

I do hope so but at the same time I am quite sure that the Almighty would excuse you all this year due to high gas prices...

Well, I must close ( I think I hear a vestal virgin calling , looking for some...absolution) so I will be going now...
Goodnight Children...
