It's Recess-time Somewhere

Ho! Ho! Ho!

As y'all probably have heard, Bill O'Reilly has been on a crusade against folks that try to be politically correct and wish others "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings" instead of "Merry Christmas." Not everyone celebrates Christmas, so I think it's awfully thoughtful to wish all folks a season of happiness regardless of their religious beliefs. Other conservative-religious types have also jumped on the bandwagon. This whole "stealing Christmas" thing has gotten quite a bit of press lately, with folks on both sides of the issue yip-yapping about it.

Now, I would think that Mr. Bush would be aware of this little contraversy, and be extra careful how he words his holiday greetings, but.....

in his news conference today, he says:

Good morning and happy holidays to you all

I guess he really doesn't read the newspapers, watch the news, or read news on the internets.
