songs for the season

The Hotline Carols are presented without attribution of any kind. We claim absolutely no credit for them whatsoever, except for those you like. The Hotline is an equal-opportunity publisher, providing holiday sneer regardles of party. This is an unusual year, and some of this year's carols will include a more serious tone than in past years. But even amid our grieving, we firmly believe there should be room for levity as well as reverence.

one thing we can all wish for during this and every other season is for peace and understanding. but like so many other gifts that come up short i will settle for the ineptitude of terrorists who light fuses on planes with matches. apparently the idea of using a lighter while in the privacy of the bathroom never occured to him and we are all the better for it. but i can only wonder what kind of "malfunction" this plane would have encounter had it been blown up. theres a merry dose of cynicism for you to ring in the holidays.
