Is Christmas under Attack? Is "Seasons Greetings" a nefarious attempt by secular humanists to subvert the Christian holiday? Is Gl–gg a communist conspiracy to dilute our precious bodily fluids? Since the Republican Kulturkampf seems to be the enduring theme for all post-election news, expect to see more histrionic siege-mentality articles about creche thefts, idiotic Xmas vs. Christmas debates, and Mexican standoffs over holiday displays on public property. Damn it, Wes, give baby Jesus back, and take the funnel out of his back!
I don't get this new "Christian Majority." They own Congress, the Executive Branch, the Supreme Court; they have the ear of the national media--and they're still not happy. Despite controlling nearly everything, they still feel like they're an oppressed minority (NOW who's playing the victim card?). Is it simply a manifestation of the persecution complex inherent in Christianity? Or are they a bunch of powermad fascists bent on a theocratic state to rival Iran's own?
It's too late to prevent the secularization of Christmas, friends...the fat man in the red suit is the American avatar of the holiday, and the typical intemperance of the Christmas celebration is hardly a traditional Christian practice. If the bible-bangers want to look for the Cavity Creeps who are busily destroying the holiday, they ought to first look at Ayatollah Bush, who invokes Christ's words as he rules like a Caesar; Grover Norquist, who wants to destroy the programs that help those most in need; or Radical Christian Cleric Pat Robertson, who cozies up to sleazebag dictators for business deals. Ever read the Beatitudes, guys? The Sermon on the Mount? Hello?
Nineteen Marines died in the single deadliest day in Iraq yesterday--and people are getting upset about crap like this? Get real!
Merry Fucking Christmas.

the front page of the newspaper made my head spin this morning. i mean it really got me steamed.
there was w. wrapping the presidential medal of freedom around george tenet's neck. the presidential medal of freedom is supposedly the highest honor a u.s. civilian can receive. gen. tommy franks and l. paul bremer also got one.
colin powell was left out of this little pow-wow, but then again what is that prick going to do with a third presidential medal of freedom? i mean really.
but george tenet certainly does not deserve this illustrious honor. all he did was shovel a bunch of bullshit on the president's desk so he could start his little war. thousands of people came to a violent and tragic end over there in iraq, thanks to mr. tenet, and he gets the presidential medal of freedom.
the medal is supposed to be bestowed upon those for "exceptionally meritorious contribution to the security of the united states or other significant public or private endeavors."
that sounds like you have to at least do your job well in order to get one. but what saw tenet do was completely fubar his job, using decade-old information and simply not get his shit correct. i don't see how tenet qualifies for this honor, but i guess that's why the president gives these things away and not me.

Hey folks. In case you're wondering the Double Door show is still on for this Tuesday. Due to some, uh, errors, it isn't listed in most of the print ads and listings. Rest assured we're gonna be rocking it on Tuesday night. Come on down!
Also, I updated some of the bands on the links section. Holy slack Batman, many of the bands there had since broken up! However, the band list is nowhere near complete, and I know I'm forgetting lots of them. So, if you email knifeofsimpson@comcast.net you can call me a dumbass and remind me of who I have forgotten.

Allright, this is seriously fucked up...Dimebag Darrell was shot dead last night at a show in Columbus, OH, along with four other people. And on the anniversary of the Chapman murder, too. What the hell is up with the kids today?

This is the best photo I took in Denmark:

Ironically, it's a high-end men's clothing store. The Hennessey and Red Bull swilling, Crunk 4 Tha Kidz outfitter was across the aisle.
