Victory In The War On Christmas

Pew found that given the choice between “Merry Christmas” and “Happy Holidays” most people didn’t care which greeting they got. Don’t they know that “Happy Holidays” makes the baby Jesus cry?

Accommodate This.

How Obama Ate Republicans’ Lunch On START

Lindsey Graham is rapidly becoming the go-to Republican for whiny quotes. He is upset with the productivity of the lame duck session (ignoring that all this was pushed to the lame duck because of Republican obstruction). He said this about the collapse of the unified GOP blockade:

Serious Presidential Contender Haley Barbour

Haley Barbour is one of those politicians who is inexplicably popular with press. Despite his many years as a DC lobbyist, his 2 terms as governor of the state of Mississippi make him an automatic GOP contender.

He helped the poor without one government program. He healed the sick without a government health care system. He [...]
