Wisecracks, that is. I told myself that I should just forget it and not be one of those bloggers that uses their blog to blast Fox News and voice their Pagan opinion on the comments that (unfortunately) surfaced on national television the other day. Then again, why should I not?
I've mentioned before, in passing, how I've felt about bringing my Pagan-self out into semi-public view. It was never an idea I was completely over-the-moon with, but coming out of one's shell is something that must be done when the time comes to advance in almost anything. Pushing yourself to go beyond your limits is the only thing that will enable you to show yourself just how capable you really are. So I'm more out there than I used to be now, and I'm still happy. I'm still the person I want to be and I like how other people see me, so, in a word, I have advanced. Hurray for me. Now Fox News, in their delightfully denigrading morning talk show, has spoiled some of my advancement into the big, bad world out there. I use the term 'some' because I honestly think they were just being their usual un-informed selves and not intentionally trying to be malicious. One would hope, anyway. I cannot fault them for their stupidity- it's not like they know any better. But really, they should. For the sake of their viewers, and social equality, they should know what the hell they're talking about. To say that Wiccans (Pagans in general, really) have 20 holidays is just absurd. Would they care to reference where they found this information? Even a quick glance at Wikipedia would have given them a pretty accurate answer. So shame on you, Fox News. I don't watch your morning show, and if this is the kind of quality of information I'd expect to hear on anything- morning traffic included- I will certainly not be watching in the near future. Or ever.
How's that for a Dungeons-and-Dragons-playing-twice-divorced-incense-burning-midwifery-loving Pagan?
You dolts.
If you are interested in listening to this drivel, you may find it here. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Okay, I'm done.
