Junk Activism

Ah, the smell of Cinnamon candle is everywhere, I’m hear Jingle Bells 5 times a day.  Parents are frantically clawing at Wal-Mart shelves and standing for hours to get an iPod at an exciting $10 discount.  We’re called by distant relatives we only talk with once a year.  Families adorn their yards with plastic snowmen and crapola that would be acceptable only by Rednecks any other time of year.

….it all reminds me of thing, the Ulitmate Question:  Will I get the pony I’ve been asking for since I was 5?

My “Christmas” brain says YAY, but my “Junk Activism” brain is very, very disappointed this year.  Christmas protest news is so dry that I would trade that pony for something spectacular, like a thousand gay Santas marching on Washington, or PETA protesting turkey carving in Christmas Vacation by standing nude, in the snow, in Chevy Chase’s front lawn, or those Atheists with their boring sign getting run over by a bus filled with a church choir singing “Deck the Halls”.

I’ve been really busy with holiday-related things and gearing up for 2009.  I know I suck with posting lately, it’s been a little sparce with all of the holiday goings-on.

I have however been reading the news, and while I cannot possibly write a full on smart ass perspective on everything that goes on in the world.  Twitter makes me life much easier, and will help fill your itch for protest laughs & gaffs until after the holidays.  I encourage you to visit the Junk Activism Twitter page!
