Merry Christmas!
There—I said it. Sue me.
Okay…in all seriousness, it happens every December: one of the most pathetic and sorry examples of Political Correctness out there. I’m referring, of course, to the effort to suppress Christmas in the public square—to the point of not even saying “the C word”.
When I was younger, we were worried about “X-mas”. Now…“X-mas” is technically much ado about nothing. Its roots are pretty interesting: see, as it turns out, the “X” isn’t really an “X”.

Mitt’s Mighty Message
Mitt Romney was the front runner for the Republican Presidential nomination for a while in 2008, but eventually his Washington-outsider credentials failed him.

Winners, Losers, and Undecided of the Week
by Ronald A. Rowe August 10th, 2011 | Political Humor, Political Opinions, Winners & Losers
Winners:
Vladimir Putin – The Russian Prime Minister is hugely popular in his home country. Now his biggest concern is whether or not to accept a second go around at the presidency or to maintain his current position and let his BFF Dmitry Medvedev hold on to the (technically) top spot. With an approval rating consistently near 70%, Putin can afford to keep his options open.
Foxconn Technology Employees – The 12 year old kids and impoverished grandmas in Taiwan who work for $.08 an hour to make your iPods, iPhones, and iPads have a seriously high rate of suicide –

Winners:
Apple - It was widely reported this week that Apple Computers has $76.2 Billion in cash and cash equivalents while the United States Treasury (pictured) has just $73.8 Billion cash on hand. When you've got more money than the U.S. Government, you're doing all right. Or the U.S. Government is doing really, really bad. Let's be optimistic and say that Apple is doing well.
Hugo Chavez - Venezuela's president turned 57 this week and vowed to

Without further exposition, here are the biggest winners and losers from the world of politics this week.
Winners:
Boneheaded Politicians - This was a good week to be a typical bonehead in politics. With 23.75 hours a day devoted to coverage of the Casey Anthony trial, politicians could get away with anything short of shooting up a McDonald’s with a machine gun this week.
