There's no letup by the gateway theologians who are making war on those accused of making war on Christmas. As the tinseled authors of seasonal books, they have made it to the top of the best-seller lists under the trade names of Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, among others, producing screeds in time to increase their own mass marketing profits before Santa arrives.
That's smart business practice. Why would you complain about a war on Christmas in mid-summer when many Americans are preoccupied with making war on crabgrass?
The inspirational leader of these entrepreneurial tests is O'Reilly, who has found his groove in titles that begin with "Killing..." That, of course, thrusts his literary pursuits directly into America's passion for violence. In another five years or so, O'Reilly will have killed off more people than the Florentine plagues.
As a merciful writer, I have despaired of the war crimes associated with Christmas. So I chose my only option with a cue from O'Reilly. In a few hours I will begin writing my own book titled "Killing Macy's" and will have it on Amazon in 24 hours. Without apologies, my book will take it to the heart of the battlefront.
I hope the gateway theologians will accept my desperate enterprise in the spirit of the season with a holiday truce that could begin to fill my own Christmas stocking.
Fa la la la...

To digress: After watching OSU 's loss to MSU, it seemed reasonable to conclude that the Bucks stopped in Indy.

Let me close by assigning the Grumpy Abe Linguistic Lunacy Award (GALL) to Sen. Rand Paul in the unholiest sense. The Kentucky Republican asserted that the extension of jobless benefits beyond the Dec. 28 expiration date would be a "disservice" to the unemployed. Guys like Paul forever keep me guessing about their loose talk. But he said it on Fox News so it must be true.
