Over at The Blaze (don’t judge me!), my “war against christmas” verses (collection at link) failed to even get a mention in their round-up of this season’s war. But billboards and banners and nativity scenes and humanlight (which I had not heard of) and the sort did. More importantly, there is a poll! “Who won …

I *Told* You I Have The Best Commenters…
As a public service for those who read the posts, but don’t look at comments, I want to show off some of the songwriting abilities of commenters “badgersdaughter” and “zekehoskin”.

What Did You Do In The War (Against Christmas)?
I don’t have time for this… but this song jumped into my skull earlier today, and I couldn’t focus until I chased it out. So here it is. It does have a tune, but it’s a very simple one and I suspect you can come up with a better one on your own (it’s in …

Christmas VS Christmas
Over at The Zingularity, they’ve discovered who the real enemy is in the War On Christmas. And it’s not the atheists (although we are still the ones on the propaganda posters)!

The steps are the same, the music is the same, the dancers are the same… only the date has changed. Dammit, if Billo can do it, …

More On The War On Christmas
The latest silliness from Pat Robertson and from Bill O’Reilly has been making the rounds–Lawrence O’Donnell offers a simple counter-example (video at link) to the claim of the bitter, hateful atheist who wants everybody to be miserable at Christmas the end of December. That counter-example? Ricky Gervais. In a 2010 article in the Wall Street …

In Which I Agree With The Pope… A Little
Away in a manger, no crib for his bed The pope says believers are being misled The stars in the sky look down where he lay The pope says it didn’t quite happen this way The cattle are lowing; the poor baby wakes The pope says the story is full of mistakes I love thee …

Santa (Monica) Won’t Let Jesus Come To Town
“The atheists know how the game’s s’posed to go; That’s the only reason they won it” You see, all good fools know that reading the rules Is the best way to solve a whodunit Now this ruling means our nativity scenes Are in violation of laws! But I’m filled with doubt— could you point the …

An Atheist’s Christmas…
It must be mid-November; I’m starting to get lots of hits for “Atheist Christmas” and related terms. So I thought I’d make it a little easier, and bring this one back to the top of the stack for a bit. I’m working on one (which, by the way, is very strange for me, but I …
