Santa Claus Now a ‘Politically Incorrect’ Pundit on Fox News, Ruins Christmas for Everyone [Video]

For all their talk about how “confusing” it is for children to see gay characters on television (lest they grow up thinking that was normal), Fox & Friends had no qualms about bringing a very busy Santa Claus all the way down from the North Pole to explain why the liberal media is waging a war against Christmas.

Which just makes you wonder … who is this shtick for? (Besides Brian Kilmeade, of course.) Read More

Is This Thing On?

ALBANY—It seemed the only people working at the Capitol on Black Friday were crews from the Office of General Services stringing lights around the state's official holiday tree.

The Freakin’ Popper

Christmas is done, and I can’t say I’m displeased or anything.

The Eight Day Week

Wednesday 21st

He’s Alda’t! Yes, firefighters are nice when you need to be swiftly plucked from a burning building, but ladies, think about it for a sec-what kind of fellow do you want to steer you through the emotional horror of war-torn New York?

Drop the Poker, Unhand the Kid, Call a Therapist

Frankly, there were times, when my daughters were in their teen years, that I, too, thought one or another of them had been possessed by a demon. What else could explain the dark looks, the shadows under the eyes, the smell of nicotine, the empty beer bottle found under the bed, the curfews broken, the Read More

What to Ask For for Christmas? One Word: Yamamoto

What are the most wanted holiday presents for 1998? “All the Balthazar things,” answered no less an authority than Katherine Betts, Vogue ‘s fashion news director, when we met on Madison Avenue between Brooks Brothers and Paul Stuart the other day. “The mood is Wall Street. Everyone is rich. It’s O.K. to be greedy again,” Read More
