With the Christmas season ending, people are taking stock of their gifts - those to keep and those to return. And they?re thinking about all those holiday sales and specials.  One ?special? in particular ? Rep. Jo Ann Davis?s drama about poor little candy canes ? has got a lot of people talking. And not in a good way. I?ll start posting the reviews for your reading enjoyment.

After a little breather, here comes our fourth review.  Now, if you've been thinking that our past reviews were just the biased blatherings of leftist Santa haters, here's a treat for you.  Some reviews from the biased blatherings of rightist Santa haters!  That's right, some folks at RedState.com take aim:

Truly a giant waste of time  and taxpayers money.  You know its really time for the christmas break when bills like this come to the floor.

And another:

I agree that the bill introduced by Jo Ann Davis (R-VA) was an absolutely collassal waste of time.  An embarrassment.  It's offensive to think that our tax dollars are paying for such nonsense. . . .  [Rep. Dingell] did make one important point that folks on both the extreme Left and extreme Right should try to remember more:

"At Christmastime, we're taught to unite.
We don't need a made-up reason to fight.
So on O'Reilly, on Hannity, on Coulter and those right-wing blogs.
You should sit back and relax, have a few egg nogs."

The holiday time is a time to reflect, relax, and rejoice. It's truly a shame that our country has got to a point that people can get angry and outraged and yell at each other over something as manufactured as this.

When your base is calling your actions an embarrasment, that ain't good.
