From Hawks Nest says From The Hawk's Nest: Its Christmas!!!:
What kinda Liberal Monkeybuttism is going on here?? I hear on the news that stores and such have been replacing the word "Christmas" with "Holiday"! They have said it is more multicultural, and that it fits with today's society better. I say Bull$hit. Christmas should stay Christmas. Hannakuh can stay Hannakuh, and Kwanzaa can stay Kwanzaa. Why the hell do they have to be the same? They are not the same! I have never spun a top thingy and sang a little ryhme thing, but I am not Jewish. I have not done any Kwanzaa things, because I am not African. I am sick and tired of having to change for everyone else to fit in. Kwanzaa has not been around long in the US, so I do not know anything about it. Hannakuh has, so go ahead and light your Menorah, sing your songs, and spin that top. Me, I am gonna celebrate CHRISTMAS, not X-MAS, or HOLIDAYS or whatever else they can think of!! I wish all my readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Remember Mardi Gras is right around the corner! Throw me somethin' mister!!!
Philomathean has From Russia With Love:
This week Russia announced that it was fitting its strategic bombers with a new long-range cruise missile similar to those already deployed by the United States. The missile has a range of about 3,000 miles and is designed to carry a 1,100-pound conventional warhead, although it can probably be converted easily to carry a nuclear warhead.
AmbivaBlog has Eat that word!:
I tell my friends and family that the real reason I have a blog is because it gives me an excuse to say "BLOG!!!" a lot -- like I can't tell if I love Shiraz because the wine tastes good or because the word does.
On Hold: Tales of an Almost Successful Writer has Note to Self: Your Digits are in Danger:
if I was to hazard an opinion on what made me think I was stressed (besides the thumb-sucking), I might add that my eyes are like two live coals boring holes through my skull, my gut is full of broken glass, my teeth are clenched so tight I could have bitten a rebar in half, my muscles are twitching like Muppets on crack...and I'm sitting here in front of the computer. Trying to convince myself that now is a great time to get some writing done...They promise that all winners will be notified by...
March 31, 2005.
What was I thinking?! Now I have to wait for them to crush my measly, pewling aspirations, and it's going to take much longer for that! To quote Gir: "But I need tacos or I'll explode! That happens to me sometimes..."
[Okay, that quote had nothing to do with my rant. But Invader Zim rocks, and Gir is the bomb track, yo!]
Philomathean says A Pox on Their House:
“It’s all true – it just hasn’t happened yet.” That’s the tag line for “Smallpox,” a new two-hour movie scheduled for broadcast on the FX Network sometime in the next few weeks. The film, set several years in the future, is a pseudo-documentary that tracks a hypothetical smallpox attack on New York and London.
