Bing Crosby's White Christmas won a survey naming it America's all-time favorite Christmas song last week. However here in L.A., secular zealots are trying to get Andy Williams' Christmas recording of Do You Hear What I Hear banned from radio play. They say it's offensive to deaf people.

Jussie Smollett awaits sentencing in Chicago for hiring Nigerians to pretend to beat him up on the street and telling him that this is MAGA Country. It's not as big a hoax as it sounds. Don't tell Jussie Smollett, but Biden's approval ratings are so low they indicate this is, indeed, MAGA Country.

President Biden will go on television Today and address the abrupt spike in Covid infections due to Omicron variant. The president will do his best to coach us on how to survive a pandemic that won't go away. If I were the coach, I would send coffee to the bench and order alcohol to suit up.

Time magazine Person of the Year Elon Musk stirred the imaginations of GOP conservatives by winning a Twitter war with Liz Warren last week. Democrats quickly pointed out Musk can't be elected U.S. president because he was born in Africa. Republicans reply that's never stopped us before.

Kim Jung Un marked the tenth anniversary of his father Kim Jung Il's death by banning all laughter in North Korea for eleven days. That's a first. To help ensure no one laughs for eleven days, North Korean television will run the last five seasons of Saturday Night Live on a continuous loop.

Billboard noted a curious lack of songs in pop, hip-hop or country music that have any mention of the pandemic. I wrote a catchy country covid swing tune but I can't get anyone in Nashville to sing it. It's called, Hey Girl, Your Last Name Must Be Pfizer, Because You Just Made My Heart Stop.”
