I love Christmas trees, but...
Everyone's favorite Speaker of the House is currently engaged in a courageous fight to call the heretofore known Capitol "Holiday" Tree a "Christmas" Tree instead. Now, while I applaud this highly principled effort to defend liberty and uphold the constitutional principles upon which our nation was founded, couldn't he find something worthwhile to do with his time in office? Come on! A number one, I really don't care that much what it's called (or really whether they have one at all), and B number two, the people who do are the ones who will tie up our already overloaded federal court system with lawsuits about the Capitol Tree endorsing Christianity. So let's just save everyone a bunch of time and money and let it be called the Holiday Tree, and maybe Congress could focus on some actual governing. Because what the tree is called is just not important. But that's just me.

Can we please take a poll of congress to find out who thinks this issue is worth talking about so we can have a recall election and fire them.
Oh, and trot on over to Hastert's blog. He mentions this like he's proud of having wasted time over it

Looks like you can't avoid lawsuits whichever way you go. Jerry Falwell threatened to sue if it WASN'T a Christmas tree. Go figure.

Too bad I didn't go to Liberty Law School. Then I could have learned how to file lawsuits over THE NAMES OF TREES!!!
And I'll bet a certain pastor we all know would be very proud of you too. :-)
Maybe they should make this the test case for Alito instead of the abortion thing. It could be quite amusing.
Joni, I just want to tell you that I really like it when you say "B number two." I don't know why, but I do.
Good news, those nasty multiculturalism promoting liberals have been defeated and we officially have a Christmas tree in front of the White House. I still can't believe Hastert was bragging about it on his blog. Oi Vay!
but falwell is a dumbass..
Plus, as was pointed out on Colbert Report...Jesus was all about semantics. Then as he asked the question, what could better issue could Christians stake their ground on...as the word Darfur? showed up.
It is awesome when the media understand Jesus better than Christians!
Peace
Dusty, it's things like that that make just want to chuck the whole thing . . . arguing about a Christmas tree when there's genocide going on. I think I'm going to retch.
