Dateline: Fantasyland.
Item #1: Fox News, where faux news is the news,
has again started waging its yearly war against the imaginary War On
Christmas.
Angry Fox News pundit -- Bill O'Reilly, the
most successful pundit in all of pundit land -- has bravely stepped in to fight
the War On Christmas even though there is no War On Christmas. But it's good for ratings in O'Reilly's prime
demographic – people aged 61 to 81 who fall asleep in their recliners after watching Matlock reruns and having eaten their prunes.
O'Reilly is upset because some people say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. This is how insidious the fake War On
Christmas is. It begins with salutations
of benign greeting to strangers that haven't been approved by Bill O'Reilly. And ends with godless atheist pagans
devouring our newborn children.
Beware Christians everywhere, the heathens are
out to steal our holiday, sorta like the Grinch who stole Christmas.
Thankfully, O'Reilly is here to defend the indefensible.
Although a priest who was a guest on O'Reilly's
show said there was no War On Christmas and that O'Reilly was acting in an
unchristian manner by displaying such an angry, unforgiving spirit.
But what do priests know??
Item#2:
Carl Rove, Republican mastermind once given the title of Bush's Brain (a
title Rove has returned since Bush has an approval rating below that of
bedbugs), just got bumped from the Fox (Faux) News roster.
Rove was a BIG PLAYER in the recent elections, spending more than $300
million of OPM (Other People's Money) NOT getting Republicans elected. Rove had a fit of pique on election night
when Fox's own analysts called the election for Obama.
Rove insisted it was all a mistake. The election was supposed to go to Romney. Rove hadn't counted on 52% of the voters in
the country pulling the lever for O with only 47% for R.
Rove's other candidates in Senate and House races were also trounced. Rove earned less than 2% on his investment --- of OPM (Other People's Money).

But fear not, Rove – like a vampire rising from
the grave – will be back. No political
operatives in this country – Democrat or Repub. -- ever go away.
And that's part of the problem.
Item #3: Dick Morris, another Fox analyst, is also
getting the boot. Morris predicted with
an absolute straight face before the election that Romney would win by a
landslide. Hilarious.
Morris also predicted Repubs would pick up 10
TEN Senate seats (they actually lost a couple) including the seat held by local
hero – Sherrod Brown.
Item#4: No announcement yet, but one suspects Sarah
Palin's fifteen minutes have about run their course, too.
How long will it be before Palin goes back to Alaska … PERMANETLY?
