It just wouldn't be Christmas without the man with the beard. And by that, of course, we mean... Mark Steyn. For the past couple of holiday seasons, Steyn has taken a break from making giggly and not-at-all-revealing gay jokes and warning us of the impending Muslim baby-tsunami that will wipe out all that is good in this white, Euro-derived world (things like show tunes and the National Review) to squeeze out a yule log in the form of a CD of holiday songs, co-sung by the man himself.
No, I'm not joking:
(And no, that's not Photoshop.)
He doesn't completely leave commentary behind, though. I mean, just look at how that swarthy, non-Xtian gingerbread man is leering at that innocent white women. He wants to make her one his virgins! Steyn may be off to the side, cramped up from all the 'nog, but you can tell by the steely look in his eye that as soon as he gets this last steamy cup in him, it's gonna be on.
And note that his previous collection of reindeer droppings was entitled A Marshmallow World. What colour, pray tell, is a marshmallow? There's nothing wrong with dreaming of a globe that is pale all over; after all, you just know those bearded fanatics – you know, the ones that hate Western-style civil rights and freedoms and seek to replace our systems of government with brutal, lawless, authoritarian theocracies... no no no, the other bearded fanatics – you just know those guys are hunkered down in mosques in Iran and Brooklyn, dreaming of a Hot Chocolate World. (Hot as in explosions! Praise Allah and pass the turkey!)
So we need someone like Steyn, sitting on guard next to the chimney. Cuz who knows might come down it?
(Those tights and boots, though – they seem a little, mm, flamboyant, don't you think, Mark?)

A hilarious post. Despite his repulsive views, I've always found Steyn a bit sexy. I'd put my tourtiere in his oven!
Admit it, Shawn – you'd have to be pretty loaded (for bear).
Even if possibly-maybe-closeted 'phobes are your thing, you can do better. Much better.
"squeeze out a yule log"
too, too funny
don't eat mah buttons 'til I tells you, bitch....
