Well, you know Christmas approaches when Fox "news" rolls out its annual war on their imaginary war on Christmas, mixed with their predictable outrage that President Obama is taking some vacation time. You know, turning off the phone, going offline, recklessly disregarding all the duties and obligations of his office. The number of vacation days the America-hating black guy has taken is shockingly approaching a third of the number Mr Bush had taken by this time in his term.

That Daily Show clip is worth a watch: I hadn't known about the pilgrimoid views on Christmas.

Bereft of actual ideas, the right wing and their public organ disguised as a news network have become shamelessly dishonest to a level of laughability for anyone with a coma score better than fifteen. Really, you'd think even the sheep-like Fox viewers would get tired of this crap eventually, as Christmas propagation begins earlier and earlier each year and Christianity becomes ever more overtly embedded in our politics.

These are deeply disturbed people.

President Barack Hussein Obama reportedly spent time in the bathroom of the Martha's Vineyard estate at which he's vacationing, even as fighting raged in Tripoli, the capital of Libya. Sources close to the president conceded that after moving his bowels, he took additional time to brush his teeth and shower, as sounds of gunfire were heard half a world away. It's not known whether Mr Obama washed his hands immediately after defecating or if he waited until taking the shower. White House officials made no attempt to deny that while in the bathroom the president was out of touch with the Libyan revolution, the results of which he'd touted less than twenty-four hours earlier. Ignoring shouted questions from outside the window regarding the whereabouts of Moammar Ghadafi, President Obama spent several minutes in a cleansing process that some have speculated may have been a ritual related to Sharia law.

It's estimated that during the ten minutes Mr Obama was attending to personal needs, the world population increased by 1,500 people, many of whom were born into poverty.
