Further Evidence that the Editorial Voice of the WSJ is Nuts

When the implosion of the American economy is blamed on the "war on Christmas," the culture warriors have nothing left in the tank:

You got that? Mortgage lenders engaged in questionable lending practices because they could no longer wish people, "Merry Christmas." AIG backed up dubious loans and sent their executives to expensive resort- and spa-based conferences riding first class or on company luxury jets because they could no longer wish people, "Merry Christmas." GM made some stupid purchases of foreign car companies with they were raking in huge profits instead of investing in green technologies of the 21st Century because they could no longer wish people, "Merry Christmas." The federal government deregulated instead of defending the welfare of Americans because we could no longer wish people, "Merry Christmas." And no one misbehaved when wishing "Merry Christmas" was popular.

It all makes sense to me now. Why couldn't I see the connection earlier? Probably because I'm not nearly as wacked out as the opinion editors at the Wall Street Journal.
