I am going to switch gears now and rant on a subject that pisses me off each year around this time. It is how everyone has to be politically correct and say happy holidays instead of merry Christmas or happy hanukkah or even happy kwanzaa. I am Jewish and now I am a born again Christian and I never had a problem with Christmas, either did my family. It seems in the past three or four years it has gotten very bad.

Corporate A-holes are spreading this garbage. Basically what they are trying to do is take Christ out of Christmas and its getting ridiculous already. Just the other day I was drinking a can of coke and took a look at a picture of Jolly ol’ Saint Nick on the can and there it is. A BIG OL HAPPY HOLIDAYS 2007. Now correct me if I am wrong but didn’t it say Christmas 2006 on Coke cans last year? Same thing with office parties when I used to work for the man we would have a Christmas party each year. Now its a Holiday party and there are no more Halloween parties that is now called a Autumn Party or Fall Party.

Now when did all of this start? probably the past 5 years I think don’t get me wrong. It just gets worse each year for all things. Everyone is afraid to not be politically correct, well I can care less I call everything as I see it and you can ask anyone who knows me that I am not afraid to say whats on my mind.

So here’s a big
