"Annual December massacres"

Glad that Carl Ballard's back in the blogging fold, I was taking a peek through his new blog, EFFin' Unsound, and stumbled upon this, the greatest paragraph in the world:

It’s a known fact that if you say, “Merry Christmas” ... anywhere in America you’ll be shot. If only the Republican party had some control over the means of government, the annual December massacres could be avoided.

Thanks, Carl.
