I don't think there's enough time left in Festivus for me to air my grievances. 1) The presidential election of the "unknown" Barack Obama by a coalition of the most poorly educated and the educated who were, willing to suspend disbelief". 2) The Republicans nominee McCain "the lame". 3) Media treatment of Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber. Our major news outlets never investigated Obama and his "Chicago Politics" associates, but they turned Wasilla, AK upside down looking for dirt on Palin, and corrupted public officials to destroy JTP. 4) The inability of Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, etc, etc, etc to accept any blame in the sub-prime mortgage meltdown. I'm not they are solely responsible, but surely they own a portion of the blame. 5) I have to leave for Christmas Eve Dinner at my mother-in-law's. What could be more grievous than that on Festivus? Merry Christmas, or Happy Whatever Alternative Holiday You Wish to Celebrate (including none), Warm regards, An Average American P.S. And a Happy New Year (including to those of you whose year doesn't coincide with that of us Zionist, Western, oppressors) ... (Heh, including you Zionists 8^) Airing of Grievances?

Merry Christmas, or Happy Whatever Alternative Holiday You Wish to Celebrate (including none),
Warm regards,

I'm out at the video store and happen to mention that we have a festivus pole set up in the front yard. The video girl ask me "what is festivus?" As I am explaining the video guy [hensforth to be refered to as Mr buttinski] interupts by saying "It's a pagen ritual". When I hear "pagen ritual" I think of scale covered demons with biforcated tails dancing lustily around naked female hostages, and while all of that might be fun for a while it is not in keeping with the spirit of festivus. I was quite taken back by Mr buttinski's characterization of my holiday of choice. Where does he get off? Christmas trees are a vestige of a Pagen ritual. The Festivus pole is if anything (and we strive to keep it as meaningless as humanly possible) the polar opposite of the Christmas tree, and therefore a refutation of all things pagen. I'm of the mind to introduce Mr buttinski to the contest of strength. MY Grievance is the conflation of the festivus pole with a pagen ritual called maypole dancing.

I didn't know you could move gasoline that slowly without it turning back into dinosaurs or something.
