That’s cruel even for a church.

Thanks I was about to write the same thing. It’s a holiday song. No offense to Sondheim, whom I love, but this was not an allusion to him (in fact I doubt Fox and Friends Broadway literacy extends to Sondheim).

On a brighter note, we have this. Although I will note the Republican Party has changed since the days of Watergate.

He couldn’t possibly be talking about the incessant Black Friday shit that started 2 weeks ago.

There’s a recent Time article talking about teachers trying to be more culturally sensitive to the realities of Thanksgiving. Could be related to that effort. One thing noted in the article, in reality we really only have two paragraphs written about the actual “First Thanksgiving” from two settlers who were there. It wasn’t really a big deal until 1863 when Lincoln was urged to make a call for peace and thanksgiving during the war. Everything we “know” about Thanksgiving really starts there, though it was further expanded in the 1920s.

There are a few things Trump has in common with Sylvester Stallone.
Both dodged the Vietnam era draft. Stallone went to Scandinavia to make soft core porn, so you have the porn star connection. Plus both had nominal ties to both political parties.

At the last meeting of Hillary Clinton Deep State Operatives, according to the minutes, there was no discussion to change the name of Thanksgiving. Now, we did discuss conspiring with Cobra and the Legion of Doom to sell yellowcake uranium to unwed teenage mothers though. Maybe Trump got the two issues mixed up?
Anyway, nobody better mess with Festivus! I already bought my gifts!

Yes. I was just thinking that kind of thing would make Trumpists angry. The name though? Just nuts!

Storming up Cranberry Hill would be a breeze if everyone used canned cranberries. And if we are lucky someone would know which can to pull so that the mountain would crumble.

There never was a war on Christmas. But there was a war on Hanukkah and other holidays being included in seasons greetings. That was packaged up as a war on Christmas since “Happy Holidays” which included Christmas also included those other holidays. I never saw a journo take that position. They just carped on about people wanting to ban Merry Christmas but never produced a single one.
Call it Turkey Day then.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
