I’ve long thought that all the Christmas music on the radio, earlier and earlier every damn year, should convince everybody that there is no Jewish conspiracy to run the media. 😛

[Here’s a Christmas carol by Tom Lehrer](http://members.aol.com/quentncree/lehrer/xmas.htm) for everybody who’s already sick of Christmas music.

Au contraire. It proves that it is a plot. Every time you have a potential convert to Christianity, they realize they are about to convert to a religion that fills a quarter of the year with some of the worst, sappiest, crappiest, most cloyingly disgusting music imaginable, and Bam!..Buddhism gets another believer! 😃

We had two stations playing christmas carols starting Nov. 1st. One stopped after two days, but the other will play through Jan 2. I think the first one stopped because they got a ton of complaints. It’s kind of a rock station (pearl jam, nirvana are two big bands) and the carols were not appreciated.

We have TWO stations in Indianapolis playing all Christmas all the time. The suckiest part for me is that they are the only two stations my car radion receives with any clarity!!
