A Great Post to End the Year

I'm thinking this will be the last post of the year, unless I think or find something creative as I drink my Bud Light. But I'm guessing I'll probably be heading to the bar...
I found the blog, Come What May via the Plains Feeder (as usual). One of their latest posts, as the author puts it, makes us proud to be Nebraskans. Its spectacular, to say the least.
Happy New Year, everyone!

Babe Got Black Flagged For Bump-Drafting Piglet

With Muslim tension rising even more since the execution of Saddam, this touching story comes out of Katy, TX. This fine gentleman, in response to the Katy Islamic Association's plans to construct a mosque next to his land, has decided to host pig races. Knowing that everyone who reads this blog is well-educated, I don't need to explain what this means. Apparently, the neighbor, Craig Baker, thought the Muslims were after his land. Now, although he doesn't believe that anymore, he continues to hold the races because he would "look like a total idiot" if he quit hosting them now. Don't worry, I think you are a total idiot anyway. I'm not mad, just embarrassed. The spokesman for the KIA said they didn't care what he did with pigs.

Well, wasn't that easy?

In an update from a previous post, it seems that Hawaii is smart enough to figure out how to get a tree and a menorah in the same place at the same time. Congrats.

What the?

I don't know what is going on in the TV world. Last night, on "What About Brian?", the main character finds out that his love interest had an affair. During a confrontation, Brain said, "You had an affair with my father." Tonight, on a rerun (I think) of one of the Law & Order shows, a character found out some information that would've been helpful a little earlier. That information caused him to unhappily discover, "I had sex with my sister!"
It's good to know that TV programmers are relieving children from having to watch primetime TV.

Ho, ho...aw, screw it

I think that it is highly ridiculous that Christmas trees are being taken down because someone else isn't a Christian. In the Seattle airport, a rabbi's request to add a menorah brought down the rest of the trees. I get so annoyed by having to take down Christian decorations because other people don't like them. I don't blame the rabbi in this case, I blame the airport. What's wrong with putting up the menorah? Or any other religious affiliation? Why not show that you embrace other cultures instead of being the party pooper and saying that, if you can't have what you want, no one should? You run a public place with millions of people from millions of backgrounds coming through every day. Not only are you showing that you recognize their religions, you may invoke positive curiosities about those religions. That's OK. Be a humbug. I wish we heard more about those who do spread curiosity by putting up multiple religious decorations instead of these pansies who take their ball and go home because someone new wants to play.
