Slog - Comments on "On the first day of Christmas the liberals gave to me..." http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/on_the_first_day_of_christmas_the_libera Conservatives: They can't govern, they can't sing. Click on this, if you dare: Good God. My ears, my eyes. I may never recover. At first I thought it was the Westboro Baptist Church choir. But those delusional haters can at least sing. These delusional douchebags can't even keep the tempo--never mind the melody--of a well-known Christmas carol. And an end to secret ballots? Huh? What? Would someone put these assboogers out of our misery? And how can this crass and political appropriation not be seen as an attack on Christianity and Christmas? Blarph. Via Wonkette....

This liberal will give them a Christmas present they'll NEVER forget. Fuckers.

And since we're on the topic of the 12 Days of Christmas (a tune I usually detest) I was listening recently to a recording of Joan Sutherland's version. Stunning. It was a revelation to me that the song doesn't have to suck.
