For today's Saturday musical selection, I turn to the Ramones and they're should-a-been-a-hit (as all of their songs were) "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)."
As you can see in the video, this is an interfaith performance, and that is fitting. Joey Ramone was Jewish. And the legendary band's first drummer, Tommy (Erdelyi) Ramone, is a Jew.
President Obama is not Jewish, which explains how he botched the White House Hanukkah menorah lighting. Not only did he do it two weeks early, it is not appropriate to light all of the candles at once.
And finally, The Lid, who lives just east of Ramones-land on Long Island, has already had his fill of a multi-cultural December. He writes: It's That Stupid, Politically Correct Holiday Season. Again.
