Texas elected official Sid Miller is asking for it...

Some people are taking this "War on Christmas" thing way too far. Take Texas agriculture commissioner Sid Miller for example. The Republican elected official recently wrote this on his Facebook page: "People must say Merry Christmas to me or nothing at all. If one more person says Happy Holidays to me I just might slap them. Either tell me Merry Christmas or just don't say anything." With these comments, he included a picture of a cowboy on a horse, with pharmacy sign reading, "We Will Never Take Christ Out Of Christmas."

No, the pagan roots of the holiday wasn't taking "Christ out of Christmas." Jesus' birthday not being on December 25th wasn't taking "Christ out of Christmas." The holiday becoming increasingly more commercialized by the year wasn't taking "Christ out of Christmas." Yet people telling one another "Happy Holidays" has been ultimately responsible for taking "Christ out of Christmas." Riiight... As a matter of fact, Mr. Miller's comments and picture are ironically hilarious, for while the Longhorn state's agriculture commissioner insinuated that saying "Happy Holidays" as opposed to "Merry Christmas" was ultimately responsible for taking "Christ out of Christmas," he goes on to say, "If one more person says Happy Holidays to me I just might slap them." That's right, ladies and gentlemen, saying "Happy Holidays" is anti-Christian, but slapping someone across the face for saying "Happy Holidays," well, it can't get much more Christ-like than that, right?

So, since Sid Miller laid the temptation before us, I suggest we take him up on it. To wish the Texas agriculture commissioner a very sincere "Happy Holidays," you contact him at the following links:

Happy Holidays, Sid Miller! Now, do what Jesus would do and slap me across the face...

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
