Until now I have been ignoring the "War on Christmas". It seemed to be based on senseless pandering for listeners or readers of arch-conservative morons like Bill O'Reilly.

I know that our Representatives like to introduce fluff bills like "A Tribute to Don Ho" or "Supporting the National Motto of the United States."  

But in the midst of Torture amendments, the Iraq War, the abandonment of Katrina victims, revelations of NSA spying, fighting cloture on the Patriot Act and various other issues this just took a step beyond ludicrous.
