on my radar: christmas carol's

Ah, it's the most wonderful time of the year! Not yet December and I'm already sick of Christmas carols! As I was frantically reaching to twist the dial before another rendition of "White Christmas" could escape the woofers and tweeters, I found myself reinterpreting the lyrics to the classic, "Do they know it's Christmas?"...with a "current events" spin...

"It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid (unless you are an 88 year old woman in ATL or a groom-to-be in Queens, NYC).
At Christmas time, we let in Democrats yet Kerry's 2008 hopes fade
And with Iraq's bounty of oil, we can spread a smile of joy, as gas prices soar at Christmas time!

But say a prayer (cuz Britney's single again)
At Christmas time it's hard when your war has come undone
There's a world outside your window (for orphans being whisked from Malawi)
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of Falcon's fan tears
And the Christmas bells that ring are Kid Rock's wedding bell blues
Well tonight thank God it's Pamela Anderson instead of you!

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time (it's all in Seattle)
The greatest gift Iraqi's will gets this year is life
Where nothing ever grows (but our budget deficit)
No rain or rivers flow (except for in Seattle)
Do Borat's relatives celebrate Christmas time?

Here's to Clay raise a glass (and clean hand) for everyone
Here's to Kelly wondering where it's been
Does Rosie knows it's Christmas time at all?

Feed Nicole Richie
Feed the supermodels

Feed Nicole Richie
Let them know it's mealtime again!"
