    It's also highly possible that she couldn't stand the thought of being in a state populated almost exclusively by non-Americans with phony birth certificates.

    Show us your real birth certificates, Hawaiians!

    ...that or she wasn't considered hot there. Happens when you leave a state with a 6 to 1 male to female ratio and venture into a multi-ethnic paradise.

    In other words, Alaska-hot but not Hawaii-hot.

    Speaking of dads, my own wingnutty one (god bless him--he once told us kids that Bill Clinton had killed lots of people...) went to the Palin book signing in AZ and observed that only white people were there.

    Also, when I expressed outrage that he went in the first place, he tried to hang up the phone on me.

    @Banjo-Sea Kitten: He tried, but couldn't successfully hang up the phone? Sounds like you should get your dad a duck phone for Christmas.

    (If you don't get the reference, please watch Jersey Shore. You will thank me later.)

    @misslinda: he tried to abruptly end the conversation and hang up, so I changed the subject a bit and then softened my tirade. (This is the typical dance with him.)

    I will try and catch JS.

    @misslinda: ah. We were already grown and debating him at a family gathering. You're always "the kids" with your parents I guess. (Yes, I still need lots of therapy when it comes to him.)

    "lover"...hee hee. I love Bill even without the pun intended. :-)

    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.

    My racist sister-in-law and her also racist husband were stationed in Hawaii while in the navy and before my husband and I went on vacation there, they warned us that the locals were really nasty towards white people so other than the main tourist areas, it's a miserable place. Needless to say, the locals were perfectly lovely, and it was the military who were particularly nasty towards the locals. Funny how that got all twisted around in their heads.

    What's fun is how he thinks after all of the send-up his foray into daytime television that there was a disruption of suspension of disbelief.

    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!

    Likewise, when I wear green makeup and fly across a rooftop in "Spider-Man 3," I'm working as an actor, but were I to do the same thing on the subway platform, a host of possibilities would open up

    By "host of possibilities" I'm assuming he means 1) try to fly, get cape stuck, land on third rail, die, hold up trains or 2) get mobbed by teenage girls, flee, land on third rail, die, hold up trains, or 3) just hold up trains.

    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."
