War is (not) Over ... if you want it
I'm apparently feeling "share-y" today.
So, apparently Sarah Palin is writing a Christmas book. I know! Exciting news, isn't it? But not just any Christmas book, no! She's writing a book about the War on Christmas, and her book is titled "A Happy Holiday IS a Merry Christmas." Cleverboots!
Alexandra Petri over at the Washington Post wrote an amusing column about it but this is my favorite bit:
I was hoping the book would be aimed at children and would be some sort of variation on How The Secular Grinches Stole “Christ” Out of Christmas. But, alas, it apparently isn’t.
“Why are you taking my Christmas tree, why?” Cindy Lou Palin-Who? would ask, looking sad, and the Grinch would reply that it was because Harry Reid had given him specific instructions to do so and that later he was going to come back with first lady Michelle Obama, take away Cindy Lou’s candy canes and force her to do jumping jacks. The one bright spot in an otherwise bleak story would be Cindy Lou’s discovery of Clean Coal in her stocking. Everything would end with the Whos holding hands and feeling benevolent toward all men (except the Whos outside the circle who did not celebrate Christmas and found this whole thing kind of awkward.) I could picture it being very heartwarming. I would read all the copies of it you put in front of me. Heck, if she doesn’t use this idea, I might pitch it myself. Or at the very least, rework it for my Put Thor Back In Thursday campaign.
For the record, not only would I buy that hypothetical book (well not technically buy if Palin wrote it, but I'd totally read it!) I am completely on board with the Put Thor Back In Thursday campaign! Someone should start a White House petition for that!
