STAND YOUR GROUND!

Los Angeles -- Tis the season to rewrite Xmas again.  Jon Stewart of the "Daily Show's " destruction of Megan Kelly's White Christmas complex is both a very funny yet sad commentary of our time.  As a Greek American I was proud of the acknowledgement of the Greek roots of Santa Claus, yes his real name was Saint Nicholas, Biship of Myra in Asia Minor or Anatolia, present day Turkey.  But unfortunately in the sanitized world of commercial television  what sells ads is the fluff and the occasional well managed controversy that seems to have spun way out of the control of the spin doctors, back fired and took a bite out of Fox News' ratings. Whether planned or by accident Megyn Kelly really stuck her foot in her mouth big time with her take on Jesus, begrudgingly, truth or dare a historical figure but definitively and definitely white; people of color get over it!  And I am being super polite.  

If she is attempting to be crowned the top blonde bimbo TV pundit mouth piece that she seems to have become, she went further than any programming chief dared to go.  Thanks to her thoughtless cutesy commentary, high profile television personalities like Jon Stewart have jobs. And people like me have  the windfall of boosting online visits on their e zine.  Well for the record here is Stewart's take.  Most of you have seen it. But hey the first time is a whimsical farce the second a tragedy and the third...well let's just say your left red in the face.  And it ain't shyness.  Go figure.  Follow the link and check it out:

Ok here is the Jon Stewart shredding of Megyn Fox's spin on Christmas and Santa Claus on his "Daily Show."  Have a paternal sigh on me.

Oh and Happy Xmas Holidays!!  Kala Christougena in Greek Megyn Kelly!!  Now go play with your reindeer.
