This is the most frightening Christmas Flash card I have ever seen. (And so my Jewish friends don’t feel left out, here.)
MacUpdate decided they wanted to take the opportunity to convert everyone.

As John Lennon said it:
So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Xmas
For weak [...]

Andrew: Then what? You think your Li’l Witch buddy’s gonna stop with us? You saw her! She’s a truck driving Magic Mamma. We’ve got maybe seconds before Darth Rosenberg grinds everybody into Jawa burgers, and not one of you bunch has the midichlorians to stop her.

Well, it has been a while since I’ve written an entry of a personal nature on this website, any sort of status update, and I suppose one is overdue. In short, the latter half of this year has been tough for me, but things have made some abrupt turnarounds for the better beginning at [...]
A FOX News affiliate has run an overwhelmingly lighthearted puff piece on a racist website.

The video of the news segment is online here.
Okay, I have to admit, even I wasn’t expecting that out of FOX News.
