Reason First Casualty of War on Christmas
This story about the "War on Christmas" is really astounding.
What do we do as a country when belief in internet rumors is not dissuaded by actual visible firsthand evidence to the contrary? How can we ever have true participatory democracy when so many people can't be bothered with the facts?

Something Fun to do in Atlanta
Courtesy of Troy Bronsink:
Emergent friends, music lovers, activists, and city dwellers:
This there will be a garage concert, benefiting The Sullivan Center a southwest Atlanta non profit that has been around for more than 20 years. Capital Coffee is providing coffee and pastries, and a keg of beer will be tapped The proceeds of coffee sold, suggested $2 cover, and donations for beer (which will be "free" on tap) will go to the Sullivan center to assist families this Christmas who are in their homelessness prevention and vocational training programs.
There will be five great bands/performers:
Jade Hollow
The Cobalt Season
Michael Johnston (of Small Town Poets )
Troy Bronsink (with Bill Davis and Dave Stephen)
Beggars’ Guild
Come from 2-6 with friends to be generous this Christmas, get in some great music, and enjoy some beer and/or coffee!
Directions:
Capital Coffee is located in the Coeur d'Alene Lofts at the edge of Capital View and Adair Park. From east, north, or northwest go south on I 75/85 and exit two exits south of I 20 on "University Drive". Turn right (west) onto University Dr until you hit Metropolitan Pkwy (former Stewart Ave) Turn left (south) on Metropolitan, and turn right at traffic light onto Dill (Dill is called Manford to the left). Continue four blocks and take your second right onto Allene Ave (a red storefront sits at the corner, if you get to Sylvan you've gone too far). We are two blocks ahead on the left by the RR Tracks.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
