No time to write much of anything today, so I give you instead, just in time for too late for Memorial Day, a proxy for the insightful, witty commentary you normally expect from me: Kung Fu Monkey’s John Rogers discusses the term “chickenhawk” and the convenant the U.S. government — and all American citizens — have with our troops fighting overseas. It’s exactly the kind of impassioned, articulate, persuasive post I hope I have somewhere within me. Go. Read.

I was going to get around to ranting about this whole bullshiteriffic “they’re trying to take away our Christmas!” pile of hooey FOX News has undertaken, but someone already did it for me. Warning, for you sensitive sorts: the word “fuck” appears, no lie, fifty times in that article. If you think that FOX News is totally justified in this “hate crime against Christians” crusade…well, first off, you’re wrong; but second off, you probably don’t want to read that article. Though you probably should.
