Doops

On blog comment sections, it's pretty common to see a comment, then an identical comment, then an "oops, sorry" comment after it.

I'm going to start calling that a "doops" (double-oops). Feel free to join me.

Happy War Against Easter!

Here, go read this foolishness:

Each passing scene on my tour confirmed the cultural obliteration of Easter — that most sacred of Christian feasts — in a society whose members still define themselves overwhelmingly as Christians. The “war against Christmas” — the campaign to force everyone to say, “Happy Holiday!” and banish the crèche from public places — is still ongoing and met with considerable resistance, à la Mike Huckabee and his in-your-face December campaign ad reminding viewers that Dec. 25 celebrates the day Jesus was born. The war against Easter, by contrast, seems sadly over.

Remember: Peter Rabbit dyed eggs for your sins.
