Quick Shots: Santa is the anti-Christ, the Feds are taking over the Internet, and zero tolerance in the Catholic Church - Oh! And my big fat Greek surprise comment!

Disney is evil.

As thousands of my readers and followers know, I am all about Santa, St. Nick, St Nicholas - even when he is mythically represented in those relatively corrupted forms, such as Father Christmas, or one of those fat burgermeisters in a red pantsuit.  But last night I caught a glimpse of the Disney - Tim Allen version of Santa and it was heresy - new world order crap.  Santa was NEVER married - he didn't work in an office - EVER!  He didn't have kids.  NO! NO! NO!  He did not have to get married.  Disney is the anti-Christ and Tim Allen's Santa is it's prophet.  No wonder kids are so screwed up.

The Feds are taking over the Internet - we are all going to be sent to concentration camps.  You knew it was coming:
.
Tomorrow morning the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will mark the winter solstice by taking an unprecedented step to expand government's reach into the Internet by attempting to regulate its inner workings. In doing so, the agency will circumvent Congress and disregard a recent court ruling. - WSJ

The Pope is asking what led to the global sexual abuse crisis in the Church.
.
Pope Benedict said Monday the Catholic Church must reflect on what is wrong with its message and Christian life in general that allowed for the widespread sexual abuse of children by priests.
.
"The psychological devastation of children, in which human beings are reduced to a marketplace article, is a terrifying sign of the times," Benedict said.

.
He said the underlying ideology of such rampant excesses stemmed from the 1970s, when "pedophilia was theorized as something that was in keeping with man and even the child," where nothing was considered good or evil in and of itself but only relative to the circumstances.
.
"The effects of such theories are evident today," he said.  He called for a renewed sense of morality, stressing absolute good and evil, to guide the faithful. - Source

N.B. - Stressing absolute good and evil - I think the trads and fundies have that one all taken care of.  What?

Oh!  Oh!  The end of civilized warfare - look what happened in ancient Greece - and the Greek army still wears skirts to this day!

The debate over gays in the military has been settled with a historic decision to allow them to serve openly, but big questions lie ahead about how and when the change will take place, how troops will accept it and whether it will hamper the U.S. military effort in Afghanistan and Iraq. - Source
