President Obama May Take Over Prime-Time Television in Effort to Filibuster Christian Message

The mayor of Arlington, Tennessee, thinks that the president is timing his prime-time television appearances to subvert the Christian message of Charlie Brown's Christmas Special. Mayor Russell Wiseman wrote, "We sit the kids down to watch 'The Charlie Brown Christmas Special' and our Muslim president is there, what a load... try to convince me that wasn't done on purpose."

Okay, I will try, briefly, to convince you, sir. There were about ten or so networks covering the Obama speech. Think about it, Mayor. Other programming was interrupted by the president. Isn't it possible that the timing of the speech was designed to subvert some other message? Maybe he was trying to do us a favor by sparing us from watching another episode of the bloated corpse of the "Law & Order" franchise. Maybe he doesn't want to know how architect Ted Mosby met his kids' mother. Far more unlikely, but worth mentioning, is the possibility that President Obama's speech had nothing to do with television schedules or the message of Christ at all. Maybe he gave the speech to tell us what he's going to do about the big fucking war going on in Afghanistan.

Or maybe Wiseman is right. We must consider all options, right? Let's see what happens tomorrow night at 8pm when ABC airs Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Fox airs Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special. If the president takes over the airwaves again with some ginned up "speech" then we will know for sure. The President should pace himself though, because the Christmas message is splattered all over the prime-time schedule between now and December 25th.

Here's that secret Muslim, "Cenk Uygur" of "The Young Turks" with his two lira on this matter:
