DECEMBER 3, 2007 – HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Here we go again. The war on Christmas returns, and it seems the only ones that care are journalists that have nothing better to write about. Originally made popular by America’s favorite pundit (puke) Bill O’ Reilly, it pretty much was under the radar for the mainstream press until I opened Bill Janklow’s favorite ‘Alternative Press’ yesterday. Please. These are stories reserved for cable news stations that are named after forest critters and grocery store tabloids.

The greeting Happy Holidays, which has been around for over 60 years in America, refers to this time of year when several holidays are next to each other, like Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Years. The greeting isn’t meant to offend. I say Merry Christmas ON Christmas.

So put your guns away, and let’s try to get the media to concentrate on the REAL wars that are going on.

Last I checked South Dakota was a right to work state. An employer can fire an employee without just cause and an employee can resign without just cause. I don’t think our politicians should be any different. Curt, maybe the citizens of Yankton don’t like you? Maybe they think you smell funny? Shouldn’t matter. Stop crying and tying up our legal system. Who do you think you are? Bill Janklow?
