"Barbara O’Brien’s wide-ranging account of Zen history is conveyed with a master storyteller’s ability to keep the forest from getting lost in a myriad of trees. Wearing her scholarship lightly, she blends just the right amount of skepticism about her hagiographic sources with a deep appreciation for the Dharma." — Barry Magid, author of

I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!
SPARE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are there no video’s of little drummer boys from Union regiments being shot right after midnight on Christmas Day for being spy’s, to the sounds of “Oh Hole-y Night” with a “Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum” backbeat?
Or a pack of Christmas Carolers, lost in the woods, being devoured by a pack of rabid wolves to the strains of the Renaissance classic, “Down in Yon Forest?”
How about a picture of a melting glacier losing a huge chunk of itself and sinking a cruise ship off the coast of Alaska, with all aboard lost, to the tune of “Frosty the Snowman?”
NO?!?!?!?!
BAH HUMBUG!!!
Where’s that damn Ssssssssssssssssnake video again?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has any creature from Noah’s ark been omitted from the holiday tribute?
I couldn’t find a video with rabbits that really worked for me. A lot of people seem to make Christmas videos with their pet rabbits, but most of them consist of watching a clueless bunny eating Christmas wrapping paper off a box while its person (holding video cam) is saying, “Ooo, Mr. Snugglepants, what did Santa bring you?” Maybe next year.
How about a video of the Gingrich that stole christmas? Or perhaps the Gingrich who committed adultery…The Gingrich who racked up $ 300,000. in ethic violations?
This sure beats all the singing parrots the GOP has sent to clutter up my state..at least this one HAS a point
