Deer are pretty normal in my neighborhood. Not drunk as far as I know.
I have no deer in my neighbourhood. I did have a kangaroo turn up on the front lawn of my old house the day we sold it. That was pretty neat.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
We used to have a mullberry tree and the birds would get so drunk that Mom had to keep the cat inside for a week or two or our back yard would have been an abattoir.

Ugh. Nice to know they think I should be second class citizen. Oh well, this is why I never talk about religion with family.
And, as usual, just about every one of his examples of America's "Judeo-Christian" heritage is actually just Christian.

Look, we're not blaming you for the death of our Lord. Just be happy with that.

I particularly liked the bit where he mentioned a Supreme Court case that said that the US was a Christian nation with tone and phrasing that clearly said, "See, not just Judeo-Christian, but just Christian! Even better!"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Of course. "Judeo-Christian" actually means one or more of:
1) We're just the same, so STFU about how we should recognize your stupid hard-to-spell holidays.
2) We're just the same, so we all hate the muslims, right?
3) You people know perfectly well that Jesus really is the messiah, you're just being stubborn about admitting it.
(why yes, I hate the term, are my issues showing?)

Historically, "Judeo-Christian" means "Okay we're still mad about the whole killing Jesus thing, but at least you're not Communists. You're *not* Communists, right?"

(I have the same issues with that term, amych.)
Except you missed one meaning.
4. Jesus was Jewish, so Christians really are Jewish too! Anything that's changed about the Jewish religion since 2000 years ago? Oh, that's not real Judaism.
