You have got to be kidding

Certain aspects of Christmas are fun. This is not one of them. It's bad enough that we're going to have a story per day about PC v. religion concern (which a good part of the time is ridiculous) but now the PC crowd is going after Santa Claus. What the hell?
So if Santa can't say his catchphrase, we better change the name of the state that sits between Washington and Montana (can't have kids identifying themselves as "da prostitute") and forbid the practice of cutting weeds of loosening dirt with a flat blade on a long stick (can't let the kids get the wrong impression about gardeners).
Ponder this for a little bit: If we prevent Santa from saying "Ho ho ho!" are the kids really better off?
