Yeah, but my point is why are Brits wearing hats that say *Merry* Christmas?

Because it is close to Christmas? 

You don't really expect People's Liberation Army Political Reeducation Hat Factory Number Three to crank out a separate "Happy Christmas" line just for the Brits, do you?

This made me think fondly of CdM.  :(

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Very brave of her to do things that offend basically no one.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I'm sure her news sources inform her that countless millions of left wing Americans are incredibly offended by any or all of this. :P

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I noticed that my sisters only find entertainers relevant if they share their political views.

Sure. I mean there is nothing incorrect about that. It is just not a very interesting or controversial take, especially not one demanding I ponder it complete with random WORLD capitalized.

Right about what? Underpaid doctors? Farmers who don't get subsidies? Poor plumbers?

What does need have to do with who we consider important?

It's a bit fundamentalist, at any rate. "We can do without entertainment."

I think they tried that in Afghanistan. :hmm:
