Somewhere, Bill O’Reilly’s Head Just Exploded

You’d think that after all the huffing and puffing they’d been doing about the “War on Christmas” that Fox News would actually do as they said…

Chanukah, Night Six: "Give the Jew Girl Toys" by Sarah Silverman

This is a popular Chanukah download from this blog year after year, so I’m posting it again: Give the Jew Girl Toys by Sarah Silverman. I still have to see her film Jesus is Magic and her rendition of The Aristocrats from the film bearing the same name.
