I heard last night on t.v. that 1,000,000 political ads aired this political season. I know it. Here in Ohio I saw every one of them. The ads weren't just polluting the television airwaves; they were contaminating the radio airwaves, as well. Finally, today, knowing I wouldn't have to put up with any more political ads, I turned on my favorite classic rock station, only to hear Brenda Lee singing "Jingle Bell Rock," followed immediately by Eartha Kitt singing "Santa Baby." Oh no, they've started Christmas caroling already! I can't bear it. How can Christmas be as toxic as politics? And how did Thanksgiving get crushed between Election Day and Christmas? The only way to counter all the noise is to count your blessings, like Willie, and remember, in thought and deed, those less fortunate. Here's a video of that traditional Thanksgiving hymn, "We Gather Together."
