They have been so wonderful to us. They can defend us better than we can ourselves, so I really appreciate what they are doing. May we be there for them when they need us.

Accent? what accent?

Nice, but the tide is already turning against this anti-Christmas bullshit anyway. Christians have had enough. You don't like Christmas? Piss off!

Oh, and have a Merry Christmas!

Jackie Mason fan here, but I'm a little confused on the name of his group.

I had a chance to listen to Jackie Mason's talk show on WABC just once. I really wan't expecting much; I thought he was sort of a shlocky Henny Youngman type over-the-hill Borscht-Belt comedian.

But you know what? He hooked me! He's very quick on his feet, very knowledgable and very clever.

I remember one caller in particular, who was a conservative Jew, and who was criticizing Jackie Mason for not being energetic enough as a booster of Israel. The caller based part of his argument on his understanding of the Talmud.

Mr. Mason refused to be drawn in on this point. He answered the caller's other points one by one, and when he came to the Talmudic part he said something like this: "As far as the religious argument goes, there's nothing I can say to you. Your position is based on faith, and faith cannot be argued. No argument based on faith can be supported or refuted by any information we have available to us, so G-d bless you and I respect you for your position, but it doesn't make any sense for me to discuss it with you."

Was Jackie Mason ever on the Ed Sullivan show? I seem to remember some wonderful Jewish comics from those old days, incl. Molly Picon.

Like he said the other day, do you get offended when I say Happy Hanukkah?

A very commonsensical Jewish secretary at my office reliably plops a little lighted Christmas tree on a file cabinet in her vicinity every year. Mention to her that this seems a little odd given she's Jewish, she says "Oh that's ridiculous. They're pretty!" Case closed. Given that she's Jewish, and that it IS pretty, nobody has ever been able to formulate an objection to her reasoning.

I am actually moved by this. I can not remember anyone ever standing up for me for anything. Being a middle class working caucasion man, I am the roots of all that is evil in the world.

I am truly honored. It is going to be a Merry Christmas.

Good, he gets it. Most Christians I know are big supporters of Israel and have a great deal of respect for the Jewish faith.

Jackie's a good guy.

He's got our back, we got his.

I love hearing of organizations like this that show a growing unity between Christians and Jews. Theological differences aside, we have a bond and we're stronger as a unit than apart.

Dottie Burman, a friend of mine who is a cabaret entertainer in New York, has a funny song that I think needs to become the newest Chistmas standard. It's called "Let's Have A PC Holiday (Where Everything's Politically-Correct)." Lyrics are here (BTW, the final word is done by the chorus, in place of the word "Amen"): http://www.dottieburman.com/pcholiday.htm
