(22,666 posts)Sarah Palin was on book tour this week, telegenically spewing some of the stupidest nonsense weve heard since she announced she could see Russia from her house. Wed like to ignore her, but the fact is shes hugely popular among a certain segment of the population, and her book about the war on Christmas, Good Tidings and Great Joy, is destined for best-sellerdom. Just dont wish her Happy holidays! That is waging war, my friend.
2. Pat Buchanan: The Pope is bordering on moral relativism. The horror!
Pat Buchanan is another conservative who is very upset that the Pope is not willing to use the Catholic Church to bully people anymore. Specifically, he misses license to bully atheists, women who use birth control and have abortions, and gay people. In his refusal to berate or convert atheists, and tell LGBT people that they are going to hell, Pope Francis is bordering on cue music of dread moral relativism.
3. Pat Robertson: Ask your gay son if he has been molested.
Ever the dispenser of sound parenting advice, 700 Club host, evangelical bigot par excellence Pat Robertson advised a caller to be understanding when talking to her gay son. By being understanding, he meant asking her son if the reason he is gay is because he was molested. Because that is always how people become gay.

Fruitcake, mince pies and christmas pudding all like things to yearn for next year, in moderation.

I can't blame you. Not being able to have your favorite foods SUCKS!

(3,151 posts)There's lots of reasons I'm grouchy but the intransigence of the 1%, the GOP, the climate deniers, and the god-damned churches that insist on us living their way instead of ours all have a hand in it.
This is my second extended period of unemployment in 10 years and at 57 I'm getting more and more scared that my retirement may occur 12 years earlier than I'd already resigned myself to.

(22,666 posts)...I've got the same gripes (and more) and am very fearful that I might end up in the same situation! I totally understand your fear in this situation.
I'm sorry. I hope something comes up for you SOON!
