The President will then spin this wheel and whatever religion (including humanism and its variants) the pointer indicates will be the religion to celebrate for that year. So one year it might be Taoism and the next Sciencetology.</p> Here’s what we do–starting January 1, 2007 we put all the known religions on a big wheel, like the Wheel of Fortune.

Your SPEAKER PELOSI link scared the crap out of my dogs.

Mine, too. Had to take him for a walk before I could continue reading. But…I’m nervous, too, until November 8th.

not believe in the war on christmas! you might as well not believe in the war on terror. you might get your papa to hire men to watch all the malls during december to catch godless communists trying to force people to say “kwanzaa hannukah ramadan,” but even if you didn’t see anybody try to wrestle christ away from the true believers at the gap, what would that prove? nobody ever sees secular heathens actually try to drink the blood of christian children, but that is no sign there is no war on christmas. the most real things in the world are those that neither logical men nor rush limbaugh can see. did you ever see jesus ride a dinosaur? of course not, but that’s no proof that he didn’t. nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are available only to the truly faithful, who shall delight in watching their enemies be smitten down in flames when the lord takes his rightful place in the mall.

claymore mine that I made myself out of papier-mache and brussels sprouts.

I’m going to be giggling all day about that one.

Facts BillO don’t want you to know:

Christmas not a federal holiday till 1879.
In 1790s, you could be fined in Boston for celebrating Christmas.
George Washington’s signature on the Treaty of Tripoli is right below “the United States is in no wise a Christian nation” (not an exact quote).
Sunday mail delivery only ended in 1910.
Most of the founding fathers were Deists, not Christians. Nine were FreeMasons.
No way that rubbing a falafel on a girl’s naked, wet body will get you laid.

anjinsan – you are on it – I very much remember being inspired by and rooting for the students in 1984 – I hope to goodness they prevail again.

back to T Rex’s post – these folks and their projection – they’ve actually messed with one of our holidays: Halloween – plenty of communities and schools have been pressured to stop celebrating with fests, costume parades and fund raising haunted houses !
