Hey Doug, bein' an effin' liberal Democrat I resemble that comment! I also found it humorous and take no offense. The way I sees it though, once I login all that partisan political stuff should fall by the wayside. We all come here for the same reason...
That being said, I'm all for coal-fired steam and have absolutely no problem wishing everyone a hale and hearty Merry Christmas and the best for the coming year!
