How to Protect Yourself if Attacked with a Candy Cane

Well, it doesn't translate well.

Thanks to geekwife for this one.
[Sooner or later the Gs (Granted and the geekwife) will actually post something.]

Charles Krauthammer has a column on Christmas and the threat posed by its celebration. Everything from the secular PCness to views of various semi-religious types.

School districts in New Jersey and Florida ban Christmas carols. The mayor of Somerville, Mass., apologizes for ``mistakenly'' referring to the town's ``holiday party'' as a ``Christmas party.'' The Broward and Fashion malls in South Florida put up a Hanukkah menorah but no nativity scene. The manager of one of the malls explains: Hanukkah commemorates a battle and not a religious event, although he hastens to add ``I really don't know a lot about it.'' He does not. Hanukkah commemorates a miracle, and there is no event more ``religious'' than a miracle.
Nice article overall. For a true conservative I find Krauthammer to be a very reasonable person. [And He has a great name.]
