Speaking of Jewish songwriters composing so many great Christmas songs, there’s one Christmas song that’s not only written by a Jew, Robert Smigel, the comic genius behind SNL’s “TV Funhouse” and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog — it was written specifically for the Jews. “You grow up Jewish and you can’t help it,” Smigel said.

Trending – Trump to Quit and Receive Pardon from President Pence
People who have – “Trump will not last a full term” will win their office pool.
Trump’s recent tsunami of pardons of hardcore scumbags, traitors and losers makes it more likely that Trump will step down in order to receive a pardon from Pence.
Maybe he will try to pardon himself? I’m sure he’d prefer that route, but if a pardon from Pence is the one that Trump thinks will stick – he’ll take a pardon from Pence.
Predictions: Wednesday, January 20 Inauguration of Joe Biden 2021 – Tuessday, January 19 President Pence takes oath of office on 3:45pmm Issues Pardon of Trump by 4:00pm
Friedman’s NYT Editorial is Pure Bullshit and he Knows it
Friedman spends a entire column suggesting that Trump will “Force Principled Conservatives to Start Their Own Party” but acknowledges that there are no principled conservatives. As the Trump presidency heads into the sunset, kicking and screaming, one of the most important questions that will shape American politics at the local, state and national levels is […]
Song of the Day 12/23: Paul Simon, “Getting Ready for Christmas Day”
Everyone knows why there have never been any good Hanukkah songs — the Jewish songwriters were too busy writing Christmas music. From Mendelssohn to Johnny Marks, Jewish composers and lyricists have produced an outsized portion of holiday perennials, so it’s kind of surprising that Paul Simon, who used Christian imagery frequently throughout his long career, […]

Song of the Day 12/22: George Winston, “The Holly and the Ivy”
The words to this old English carol date to at least the early 19th century, possibly the early 18th, and the concept it’s based on, using holly as a symbol of Jesus Christ, goes back to medieval times (the ivy, though given short shrift in the lyrics, represents Mary). Like most true folk songs, its […]
