WaPo seems to have mastered the art of talking about Winter Solstice religious festivals without ever mentioning, you know, Wiccans, Druids, Pagans, or neo-Pagans. It's as intellectually dishonest and as cowardly an abdication of the truth in favor of placating the xians as I've ever seen.

damn that's bland
Here I thought the reason for the season was the tilt of the earth's axis (which so upset the aliens after they bought the earth from Calvin for 50 extra-terrestrial leaves).
FWIW, Bay Buchanan says she is more afraid of pagans than she is of Muslims (OK, it is stupid for anyone to fear another because of religion, but what do you expect from a winger who not only converted from Roman Catholicism to Mormonism but managed to rationalize her divorce as well?)
Hecate --
Didn't see you at Atrios yesterday (after his resurrection, that is) -- I assumed you were busy on the solstice roasted Christian babies or whatever it is you do to have a good time.
Seems to me that there was a certain lack of feeling and passion in this article's tone...is it just a journalist who would prefer to be writing an article about something more exciting; or is this a reflection of what happens when religious frictions and mundane stress spill into the joy of the season?
