    In the first clip there's a typo, when the lower-third says "Giant Media Star" it means "Giant Douche". It's a common mistake.

    This might be the year Dad shows up to Christmas Eve dressed as a man. If not, the doctors say you probably have one or two more chances.

    I watched the trailer with the sound off, which made it even more creeptantastical. And it more than ever proves that Glenn Beck should be on some sort of "watch list." I'm thinking hand grenades and crossbows hidden in his storm drain. Also, remember this cult indoctrination set of videos? Yeah. Beck is trying to take us all to Xenu.

    OK, I think it's time for the heathens to take Christmas back from the Christians. Taking this festive season from the infidels that invented it and larding it up with paternalistic Abrahamic bullshit is a privilege not a right.

    @Perhaps Not: There's a war on the winter solstice going on: the Christians are taking a perfectly fine celebration of life, family and friends and fucking it up.

    So when I see these right wing idiots with all this War on Xmas horse-shit, I think to myself:

    Christ advocated tossing out the moneychangers, giving away all one's belongings and devoting one's life to the sick and poor. He praised a prostitute and condemned a banker. He said the meek would inherit the earth. He told people to stop judging others. He one of the biggest advocates of the Golden Rule.

    That's hardy the same stuff being puked out by all these self-righteous pseudo-populist dick-wads on teevee screaming bloody murder because a waiter at Applebee's said "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas."

    So Merry Winter Solstice or, if you prefer: Happy Birth of the Sol Invictus!

    Does the preview remind anyone else of the terrifying faux Christmas special preview in Scrooged with the nukes? "This year it's important to remember the TRUE meaning of Christmas. Your life may (cue explosion) depend on it."

    Twas the 'night before Christmas
    And over on FOX,
    The dittoheads in the green room were holding their cocks.

    Demographics were hung by the teleprompter with care,
    In hopes that rating (and money!) were to be found there.

    The audience, farting from Corn Nuts and Schlitz,
    Prayed for Obama to die, the dumb racist shits.

    With Lurleen in her Snuggie, and hound-like dewlaps, Bubba scratched at his scabies (or maybe the clap).

    When out from the teevee there rose such a wail, they thought it was a siren: tornadoes and hail!

    To the painted-shut window ol' Bubba did jiggle, and Lurleen found it so funny she just had to giggle.

    When what to their glazed over eyes should appear, but a crying man in a suit, like a gay-bashed queer.

    He was dressed all in tacky, from his head to his shoes. And you could tell he was once a big fan of the booze.

    His eyes! How they leaked!
    His speech! Smarmy and smug!
    Libruls made him look like he had swallowed a bug.

    He gave not a word, but like Republitard elves, set out to make Bubs and Lurlz admire themselves.

    Gays are bad, said our Beck, and those with skin of brown, should be put in a sack like kittens to drown!

    Book larnin' sucks! It's a big waste of time! But I hope you'll buy mine for just $9.99!

    Bubs and Lurlz nodded, they like Beck a lot. But Lurlz has an IQ of 80, and Bubba's a sot.

    And they heard him exclaim as he rode out of sight: "If you're white, vote Republican, you'll be all right!"

    Dear Baby Jesus,
    All I want for Christmas is to not be subjected to the inner working of Glenn Beck's psyche any more. Remember how I went to all those years of Sunday School? I would like to cash that in now, please.
    Happy birthday,
    Katastic.

    So Glenn regrets being hateful toward his mother and, apparently, in her memory crafted a treacly story whereby he could somehow impart the message he learned from experiencing real loss. Then Mr. Beck hops on the television at night to mock black people. Guess his mom never read A Christmas Carol to him before he killed her by being a monumental prick.

    One of the best Christmas gifts I ever received was The God Delusion, from a Catholic. Giving gifts you know the recipient will enjoy trumps all dogma, regardless of the source. Score one for the god of presents!
