Judge OKs subpoenas of Limbaugh doctors

Ah, Christmas time again...time for Peace, Brotherhood, and Good Will to Men...and some more intemperate, insane polemics from everybody's favorite drunken Irish racist Bill O'Reilly about what the queers are doing to our soil...I mean Christmas!
Never mind the pagan origins of the Christmas Tree...and forget about the Roman Saturnalia that Christianity appropriated. This is just the same silly shit the culture warriors at FOX fling every year at this time, like so many XX WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR SEX LIFE!!! stories in Cosmo every year. Just change the numbers around, and you have a new article.
A lot of people seem to be buying this outrage of the month, too. I just got an earful from a co-worker about how THEY'RE TRYING TO RENAME CHRISTMAS TREES "HOLIDAY TREES" that sounded remarkably like O'Reilly's bilge. I really had to hold my tongue when she got to the "Political Correctness indoctrination" part...isn't that like so 1992? Come on, Patriotic Correctness is the new PC. If you don't have a yellow ribbon somewhere on your tree, we are turning you in, citizen.
Anyway, this is one "problem" you can't blame on those know-it-all Bordeaux-sipping liberals. What store would want to limit its customer base by wishing a "Merry Christmas" when it could pack in more shoppers with a more general, inclusive catch-all like "Seasons Greetings?" It's simple economics, really--and unless the COMINTERN has infiltrated the boardrooms of corporate America, it's pretty preposterous to claim that this is some kind of nefarious liberal plot. Hell, even O'Reilly's employer, FOX News, sells, um, Holiday Ornaments. Talk about mixed messages. Why does Bill O'Reilly hate America and capitalism so much?
And in the next second, this co-worker spouted how much she HATES, HATES the whole Xmas season. Really nice. That's what makes me think that Bill O's entire viewership is composed of the clinically insane...people just like him.
It's really Charles Dickens's fault that the Western World's Christmas is an observance that's paradoxically sacred and rife with secularism. Before "A Christmas Carol," Xmas was a pretty bawdy holiday, celebrated mostly by drinking and singing ribald tunes (in that respect, it still hasn't changed, thankfully). The Puritans and many Protestants shunned it entirely, not only because of the mode of celebration, but because--oddly enough--there's no mention of the exact birthdate of Jesus anywhere in the New Testament.
And speaking of "A Christmas Carol," Bill OhReally should lay off his obsession with George Soros, especially during the Christmas Season. There's enough latent anti-semitism in Dickens's story already, and Bill's constant perseverations about a wealth Jew who "wants to destroy Christmas" are pretty fucking racist. Blow it out your ass, Bill.
Hey, let's just agree that everybody has their own way of celebrating life in the midst of the coldest, darkest days of the year...and looking forward to the life and warmth of spring to come. Have a Happy Saturnalia, Mithras, Christmas, Hannukah, whatever you want. Have a good time, and shut up about how others celebrate it.
