This morning I heard a brittle-voiced neocon talk show host, if I do not repeat myself, called Tammy Bruce. She was allegedly telling a Christmas story to children. Do not worry, she said, about Santa being taken down by terrorists, even though he also visits Christian homes in Afghanistan and Iraq, because USAF jets follow him everywhere, perhaps pausing for the occasional wedding party. What's next? US military figures for the manger? Three Wise Men from the CIA?
