Naughty or nice?

Damn it! I woke up too late. I thought I was going to get up early enough to see the big guy. Wanted to see if Megyn Kelly was right.

Oh well, the mystery will have to continue for another year.

Enjoy the day everybody.

A reminder from Megyn.

"You know, I've given her her due. Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to change," [Megyn]Kelly said. "Jesus was a white man, too. It's like we have, he's a historical figure that's a verifiable fact, as is Santa, I just want kids to know that. How do you revise it in the middle of the legacy in the story and change Santa from white to black?"
 
Lord have mercy! And Megyn is the "straight" news reporter over at FOX.
 
Anyway, we knew Santa wasn't black, because all of their [Fox] viewers would have shot his big behind the moment he started crawling down the chimney. Besides, the whole "I saw mama kissing Santa Claus" thing... Not a good look. But Jesus? Come on now, Megyn. Dude was definitely not white. He had a posse for crying out loud.
 
From what I hear the J man was pretty cool. He used to walk around on earth dropping pearls of wisdom and being the life of every party by turning water into wine and all. Not to mention feeding a whole bunch of people with just a loaf of bread and some fish.
 
Can you imagine having a friend like that? "Yo dudes, you hungry? Yea, but we only have enough for a two piece order of Popeye's. No problem, I will just turn that bad boy into a family pack."   
 
And now Megyn Kelly and the folks over at Fox want to claim the J man as their own. Unbelievable! The fat guy in the red suit isn't enough? Personally, I think the J man must have looked more like Bunny Wailer than Brad Pitt, but maybe that's my own cultural and racial bias kicking in.
 
People like Hadas Gold are trying to get all historical and accurate on Megyn. But it all boils down to Megyn's own prejudices and belief system. A belief system that was ingrained into her at an early age. In truth, Megyn is no different than most other folks in the majority population who believe that Jesus and Santa were created for them and no one else. By making this declaration on Fox, she was just preaching to the faithful.
 
"I'm a straight news anchor, I'm not one of the opinion hosts.."
 
So there you have it. What Megyn just declared to the world is not her opinion; it was a fact.
 
There are a lot of biblical scholars who would disagree with her facts. But hey, Megyn works for Fox news.

"The Donald" rethinks a run and we rethink Santa.

Oh ohh, could Mr. Bad Hair cause the republicans to lose the next election because of his big ego?

"NEW YORK (AP) — Billionaire businessman Donald Trump has changed his voter registration in New York state from Republican to unaffiliated.

A spokesman for Trump says the businessman and television host changed his affiliation to preserve his option to seek the presidency in 2012.

Special Counsel Michael Cohen said Friday that Trump could enter the race if Republicans fail to nominate a candidate who can defeat President Barack Obama.

He said Trump probably would use his substantial wealth to even the playing field with Obama's re-election campaign.

Cohen said Trump's commitment to hosting TV's "The Apprentice" will keep him from doing anything until May, when the show's season wraps up.
He said Trump filed his voter registration paperwork Thursday." [Source]

I wonder what makes Trump think that he can defeat Obama? That man has been getting some bad advice from somewhere. Donald, stick to building casinos that lose money and tacky television shows.

Finally, as we approach Christmas eve, I have some uncomfortable thoughts about Santa: With all these sexual abuse scandals hitting us one after another and shattering our perceptions of institutions and individuals that we previously held in high esteem, could it be.....noooooo, I don't even want to think about it.

Santa, we will still have milk and cookies out for you; we just won't allow little Johnny to give them to you by himself.
