i watch bill o’reilly. i don’t like him, but i find him entertaining. not as entertaining as stephen colbert or john stewart, but he’s not a comedian. he’s just a misguided man with a very large audience of misguided misguiders.
over the past few weeks, he’s been “exposing” the war on christmas, where many retail stores have been using ‘happy holidays’ instead of ‘merry christmas’. i just thought it was another gimmick to get christians to hate non-christians. or maybe just to get people mad about something. that seems like all the o’reilly factor is good for. getting people riled up. you gotta rile ‘em up, billy.
then i started working in retail recently and got some pretty strange responses when i said “have a merry christmas.” things like “it’s refreshing to hear someone say merry christmas.” or “i’m glad someone is still saying merry christmas.”
so i guess it’s true. there really is a war on christmas. so i just have one thing to say:
i don’t fucking care.
