A neighbor contacted me the other day, all indignant

because he had heard somewhere that "they" (???) were about to "outlaw" retailers saying "Merry Christmas" to customers. Why? Because it's not "inclusive and PC". God, he was outraged. I did my best to convince him that this wasn't going to happen, that even non-right-wing people say "Merry Christmas", and that there's no way such a law could be enforced, let alone become a law in the first place.

Shook my head for awhile afterward, wondering where he had gotten such an idea.

Found my answer last night when flipping the TV dial and landing for a moment on O'Falafel's show. Phone Sex Bill was spouting off about how badly he's being treated for his noble stand against the Liberal Secularists about this whole "Merry Christmas" thing. Near as I can tell, Bill is the only one making an issue out of this.

My neighbor is a well meaning guy, but easily swayed.
