And so the Christmas-related idiocy begins...

The song was pulled “because it had the word Christmas in it,” said Rick Holliday, assistant school superintendent.

A Jewish mother, who didn't want her name published, objected to what she called "religious overtones" in the song. So the principal agreed to pull it from the program.

I'll leave it to you to click on the link to find out what the offending song was.

OK, more than a shiny bauble.

President George W. Bush bestowed Presidential Citizen Medals on a figure from the Watergate scandal, the librarian of Congress and the actor known as Lieutenant Dan in the 1994 Academy Award-winning movie "Forrest Gump".

DPUD was ranked #24 in Right Wing News' list of the top 40 conservative blogs for 2008.  We ranked higher than smart people blogs like The Next Right, Power Line, Hugh Hewitt, and Jihad Watch.

Thanks, John!

If so, I merely call it "Tuesday Night".

Police say a man damaged five vehicles and urinated on other cars at the Volkswagen dealership.

A suspect was arrested after a bystander called Halton police. No clear motive has been determined for the attack.

“He was not a customer,” said Sgt. Brian Carr. “This was not directed at the dealership. It was just a random act.”

He added there are no signs that drugs, alcohol or mental health problems are connected to the case.

Police say a man drove into the dealership and rammed vehicles with his 2007 Mazda pickup truck, then drove through the front entrance way and began urinating on other parked vehicles.

He returned to his truck, grabbed a bottle of champagne and a glass and climbed onto the truck’s roof.

While there, the man was observed committing an indecent act and proceeded to throw objects at a witness.

Police arrived and arrested a suspect without incident.

A 36-year-old Hamilton man is

It turns out that Kentucky is third most corrupt state in the nation.

It’s the individualistic states, where there is an ethos that encourages people to be out for themselves, where corruption most easily takes root, argue some political scientists. Just look at the states that make up the group: “That’s the corruption rogues gallery,” says Colgate University political science professor Michael Johnston. “Every state has its own flavor,” he says, “but they all have a very high level of risk for corruption.”

But the regional theory has one big flaw: The most corrupt states aren’t in the “individualistic” part of the country.

In 2007, the publication Corporate Crime Reporter crunched Department of Justice statistics to rank the 35 most populous states of the nation by corruption. The top three? Louisiana, Mississippi and Kentucky – which can be better thought of as broadly representing the “moralistic” states. Illinois didn’t even break the top five, coming in sixth on the list

CC Sabathia is going to the Yankees.

Nooooooooooooooo.  Like all true Americans, I hate the fucking Yankees.  My only hope is that he'll totally fail.  Or, like, start dating Madonna or something. 

I wish I had a cat to kick.

If I know you all, and I think I do, I know that the Val-u-Rite vodka is plentiful over the holiday season.  And, while I know nne of you will admit it here, sometimes there are a few cases of the stuff left that you just can't finish.  Here are 18 things you can do with that leftover vodka besides drinking it or throwing it at neighbors.  Some examples:

Spray vodka on vomit stains, scrub with a brush, then blot dry.

Add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo. The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair, and stimulates the growth of healthy hair.

To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.

With the American auto industry apparently in dire need of bailouts to stay afloat, it's nice to see that the Politburo here in the Soviet of California are doing their part to help out.

While the state is wallowing in a $28 billion deficit over the next 18 months, newly-elected lawmakers got new cars. From $32,000 hybrids to $46,000 Cadillacs, their new rides will cost taxpayers an estimated $1.3 million.

It is a perk included lawmakers' six-figure salaries.

"The California Legislature has the highest-paid members in the country. So they're very well compensated. So I think a threshold question is whether or not they should even get any car allowance or cars at all," said Jon Coupal of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.

Lawmakers also get their gasoline and maintenance paid for by the state.

Can someone please remind me again why I still live here?

I'm pretty sure this is sort of what hell is like:

The 30-bed Hau Sheng Hospital in Yuanlin in central Taiwan is reportedly the world's first Hello Kitty themed medical establishment.

From blankets and birth certificates to cots and uniforms worn by staff, every aspect of the Hello Kitty hospital is emblazoned with the feline motif.

Patients are welcomed by a statue of Hello Kitty dressed in a doctor's uniform, before travelling in a Hello Kitty elevator to a pink examination room with Hello Kitty posters on the wall.

Apparently, while Joe the Plumber was on the campaign trail, he asked McCain "some pretty direct questions" about the financial industry bailout plan and was "appalled" by some of the answers he got. I know, shocking. But it turns out that he held his nose and voted for McCain for pretty much the same reasons as the rest of us.

While Wurzelbacher was critical of McCain during the interview, he had nothing but praise for his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. “Sarah Palin is absolutely the real deal,” he said.

Find them on TCOT.

Unfortunately, Huckabee's on there.  Other than that, there are some quality, stalk-worthy conservatives on the list.

Namely, depriving kleptocrat Rep. Don Young of a few committee chairmanships.

One informs us that in a meeting this afternoon, Boehner told Young that he would not support his bid to remain Ranking Member on the House Natural Resources Committee, and that it was unlikely that the Steering Committee would either. Another tells us that although he did not officially request the Resources post, Rep. Doc Hastings (R-Wash.) is likely to get it because there will be no vacancy for the Rules committee post he was seeking.

I'll believe it when I see it.
