The Duplex by Glenn McCoy for December 22, 2014

A sad commentary on our times, sad, sad, sad. Ting

That was then. This is now.

there is no “war on christmas”

Unicornstar: this is a reference to a much loved film, It’s A Wonderful Life. The main character, George Bailey, is shown what his community would be like if he had never been born. An angel named Clarence helps him, and tells him that “Every time a bell rings, an angel is awarded his or her wings.” At the end of the movie, George’s little girl says the same thing after hearing a little bell ring. George knows that this means his friend Clarence has finally gotten his wings.

This film is shown every year at Christmas time in the US. It is something of a holiday tradition.

Hope this helps.

RE: the alleged “war on Christmas” – this is a bunch of troublemakers just looking for a reason to complain. People have been saying Happy Holidays for decades, and no one minded. Now this ultra conservative faction is trying to make it EXclusive instead of INclusive. As a family that celebrates any holiday with good will and good food, I find the whole thing ridiculous.

Unless, of course, you say “Merry Christmas” in the wrong place and get sued for it.

Explain, please, why the ACLU would file a lawsuit against an imaginary school because a student came home and made that statement.

Merry Christmas, and if you don’t like it, you have my permission to kiss my arse, so puckerup!

Back to new episodes after 2 weeks of December 2009 reruns!

It isn’t easy being Christian…

The ones with money.

I see it just as there are a lot of bells in (Elementry) school… First BellSecond Bell etc. A lot of bells and wings.

Merry Christmas!!

The ACLU defends the rights only of those who undermine society.

I didn’t get it either….and I AM American.

Ah, a good omen. The yellow polka dot undies are featured today.

I still don’t get why something called ACLU would sue an imaginary school set in the old movie “Its a Wonderful Life:”and what is ACLU? Why does it not have a sense of humour or even common sense?
