Track Santa
I wanted to pop in for just a minute to provide a very cool link. (You'll like this one, Ethne.)
I think I linked this last year, but I want to do it again, because it's just So. Very. Cool. And fun!
Track Santa.

Call me a fundamentalist or a John Birch Society member, but I'm not going to begin to let my children believe in Santa. It removes what Christmas is really about, and helps implant redistributionism.

OK. I'll defend to the death your right to feel that way.
A Pagan, I'm still going to spread the joy by:
a.) Saying Merry Christmas to my Christian Friends.
b.) Sitting down with my FIL in the hospital to hold his hand on Christmas Day.
c.) Celebrating all 12 days of Yuletide.
d.) Watching my two-year-old daughter's face light up with wonder while she's still young enough to enjoy the idea of magic.
See, "Santa Claus" is an ideal of the generosity of the spirit.
I'll let harsh reality and the world epidemic of small-spiritedness impinge on her awareness when she's much, much older.
But you have a Merry Christmas, a Joyous Yule, and a Happy New Year.

Media Bias Analyzed
(Tip o' the hat to Blackfive.)
IRAQ Now is calling out mainstream media in regards to General Mattis' oft-repeated quote, "I don't have to apologize for the conduct of my men." Jason first presents us with a link to the verbatim transcript of General Mattis' press conference, and then shows several examples of mainstream media's distortion of the facts.
Violating Journalism's Code of Ethics means that the reporter has ceased being a detached, objective scribe of human events, and has become in its place, a mere writer of fiction.
I prefer to get my fiction in the bookstore by people who are good at it.
Also of interest is this from The Truth Laid Bear: the DNC is issuing press passes to bloggers. The process appears to be somewhat involved -- it'd be interesting if any of Civi-Call's readers are planning to go for it. From an quick update posted by TTLB, it seems that the RNC will be looking into doing the same.
I wonder if the DNC will actually issue credentials to any conservative bloggers?
If you know the answer, please sound off!
