I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Our first winter storm of the season has started here in Niagara. The thermometer is sitting at 20F, it's windy, snow is falling, and it's our Annual Santa Claus Parade....brrrrr. I really feel for all the band players and the float sitters and the walking clowns handing out candy canes, and most of all for the folks watching! Supposed to continue snowing until early tomorrow morning. Something tells me we'll be having a "white" Christmas...you know....to go along with white Santa and white Jesus.

Speaking of Ms Kelly (and our cable does not carry Fox, so I'm depending on what I've read), why would she even mention a tongue-in-cheek article in Slate by an AA writer and then INSIST that Santa and Jesus were both WHITE? Unless........ Frankly, Santa is whatever colour your father or mother is, right? And Jesus, born in the middle east, is quite unlikely to have had fair skin, blond hair and blue eyes.

Hmmmm, I ran over to that other place far away from here to see what was up.  As I suspected, mainly NOTHING.  I just can't be bothered "chatting" about people I don't know.  I see I do exist because I LOVE.LOVE,LOVE what comes through FACEBOOK -- and you know if it is mentioned, you've struck a nerve.  Still, I don't care to get my 'kicks' from taking apart individuals who have a different viewpoint from mine.  I may mess with the viewpoint -- that is all over out there and up for grabs.  Individuals well that is for people who can't do anything else.

Hey....I love that the Easter Bunny is white but then ask any kid............no one cares as long as this fantastic animal shows up with the goods.  Probably just like all the other "whites" for the most part.  I do agree though that it is whatever your race is that would best portray these characters for you.  Ms. Kelly remains for me 'out to lunch' an likely not coming back.  Faux News being mainly a place to go to for the absurdities rather than anything else, is a perfect venue for her.  God forbid she should be allowed around real thinking individuals.

A nice FACEBOOK picture from me:

the Faux News Dipsy-Doodle

People who feel compelled to go around saying that mythical figures are white are racists. No doubt about it. And Yeshua ben Joseph was most certainly brown-skinned, black-haired, brown-eyed and Semitic. But what does that have to do with his message, anyway?

They want to put the "Christ" back in Christmas? How about putting the "Christ" back in Christian?

Bren - LOVE IT re: the Easter Bunny. Wonder about The Great Pumpkin, though.

RL - LIKE, LIKE, LIKE, LIKE, LIKE, dark skinned, and Jewish, you forgot that part

Ok, I confess. I LOVE snow. Yup, I really do. Esp. living here where it stays so white ( no pun intended) on all the open land, and you can see the prints of the animals who have been about. Not as happy about the COLD, below 0 on the thermometer in the am, windy, and well, cold, only up in the teens during the day. Will be interesting to see what it looks like tomorrow morning, if the stone walls are covered, we consider it a "good" snow! Still giggle with the Federal gubmint closing down for a few inches, but then our roads are plowed here immediately, could be weeks in the DC area! While the town does the regular plowing, so many have snow plows on their trucks, it all gets done fast.

OMG, its a FaceBook thing.....

and the lying Dipsy Doodles would really be finished.

Blue - thanks for letting me know E is ok - I was worried.

You hang in there and hopefully things will improve ((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))
