A mostly lighthearted look at the Right Wing's favorite fantasy. Which is: that "secular progressives" have declared a "war on Christmas"--part of their larger war to destroy Christianity, promote drug use, etc., etc.
We'll hear ravings by Bill O'Reilly, a funny rebuttal by Jon Stewart, personal reflections by KD, and a short history lesson. (The only real wars on Christmas were fought by the Puritans.) We end with selections from a fine comic audio *collage* on the subject by Scooter.
The full, 30-minute version of Scooters collage is available as innerSide #419. It is available on radio4all.net and from Scooters Web site, www.aksisofevil.org. Many thanks.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "nihil obstat") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
