How Obama Stole Christmas From Charlie Brown


video

obama+christmasThere are certain rites (and arguably rights!) of holiday passage that no person grows out of (try though they might!). Stockings, Christmas carols, the Grinch, and Charlie Brown. I don’t even like Charlie Brown, never have, and yet every year I watch it. It sort of marks the unofficial opening of the holiday season. Not this year!

According to TVNewser, the president’s address on Afghanistan tonight that is being broadcast on all the networks is pushing the regular airing of A Charlie Brown Christmas to…next week. Phew. Of course, now that we have the Internet I’m not entirely sure the timing of anything matters anymore because I can just paste the entire thing in this post (part one below). Though sometimes it’s nice to be old school and watch things at the scheduled times, on actual TV.

    Don’t let it happen again, Obama!! Your speech was a DUD and I would have much preferred Linus’s message to the world. I’ll bet the Cadets would have preferred Linus too!

    Bill O’Reilly On Glenn Beck: “It Takes The Heat Off Me”

    Is Bill O'Reilly softening as others on Fox News go more partisan or attack stronger? It's a case made today by the Los Angeles Times' Matea Gold, who talked to the longtime cable news ratings leader about his role at the network - and Glenn Beck.

    Truth Or Fiction: Did 30 Rock Call Comcast A Porn Company?

    video

    30 Rock is a fictional comedy whose writers consistently have Escher-esque fun with real-life influences and characters. But one has to wonder if the disparaging depiction of the fictional cable provider "Kabletown," and its revenue dependence on pay-per-view pornography isn't reflective of Comcasts' business model, and perhaps a concern in the halls of NBC HQ? Video after the jump.
