Santa: White, Black, or a Pickpocket?
Melissa Harris-Perry on MSNBC and Megyn Kelley on Fox are engaged in an epic philosophical battle over the race of Santa Claus. This crucial and critical question that affects the fate of all mankind and the future of the planet, has been covered thousands of times across all media platforms.
Meantime, in a rare show of bipartisanship, the GOP and Democrats in congress were able to pass a budget and forestall any more talk of government shutdowns for another two years. It makes cuts across the board on welfare, pensions, and investments in education, infrastructure, and research.. It does not cut tax loopholes, has nothing to do with jobs, or wages, or keeping people off of the streets. It maintains our theftocracy and transfers even more of the nation's wealth from the working and jobless poor to the wealthiest among us. It continues the lies of austerity and "job creators". And it is hailed across the media as, well, sort of a milquetoast compromise, but more or less of a good thing. Done deal. Not really news. Nothing to see here...The Ship of State sails on. Just ignore that another few TRILLIONS of dollars just got transferred again from the sweat of millions of working Americans to a handful of country club plutocrats.
But the real question of the day, the important issue, the one that most needs to be defended (whichever side of the issue you fall on), is the factual race of a fictional character. It's the Holidays, after all. Sorry, it's Christmas, fer Christ's sake!
Here's a pretty easy prediction to make. The budget will be settled law for the next two years. Two years from now, the powers that be will be busy making back-room deals to steal even more of the wealth created by hard working Americans (and slaves), and we will have a huge national debate on how many pinheads can dance on dreams of angels.
