The traditional Minnesota Atheists’ Winter Solstice dinner will take place on 21 December in Minneapolis, with FtB’s own Ed Brayton providing the entertainment. I think I’ll be there. You could be, too! Register now!
I would consider traveling overseas to this if Ed can guarantee there will be a guest appearence by the non-traditional Santa Glenn Beck wants to make a film about. You know, the one who rides a camel through the snow to protect baby Jesus, and hunts wild boars by hiding inside big fake Trojan boars (undeterred by what wild boars do to rivals who trespass on their territory).
And if you can find Bad Santa (the son of the Devil who was coerced into being nice to children for a thousand years) for the occasion I promise I will pay for his gig myself.
That would be delightful to meet Ed Brayton. His blog is recommended for those who have a dearth of bruises on their forehead from facepalming.

I gotta say, reading Ed Brayton’s blog causes serial explosions of my head. He digs up more wacko wingnuts than I ever thought could exist.

But I was told that PZ and Ed hated each others guts with a passion that burns hotter than a thousand suns and Ed would drop PZ like piece of fine china if only he didn’t generate all the sweet, sweet clicks for FTB! LET THE BATTLE OF THE BEARDS COMMENCE! There can be only one…
…bearded blogger at FTB that is.

Is it time for the War On Christmas yet ? I have the jello cups and confetti bombs.

Oh wait, tell a lie, there are naughty words. But no naughtier that regularly pop up on here anyway.
