OK, DU get ready to laugh...
Edited on Tue Dec-12-06 05:55 AM by JonathanChance
Here is the opinion columnist from Marinette County's local weekly paper, The Peshtigo Times. In her latest rant, she's on her annual "Bang the drums of the War on Christmans" kick. However amongst her bullshit there is a bit of entertainment...

On the Christmas controversy, there's good news and there's bad news.


Schools, even in our conservative northern Wisconsin communities, are brow beaten into going with politically correct "winter concerts", to replace the traditional "Christmas Concerts," though heaven knows what traditional music they can offer.

Oops. There goes that awful word again!


Kudos to Michigan! The big tree that stands on the grounds of the state capitol in Madison - the one with all the lights and decorations - is again officially to be known as a "Christmas Tree".


This is the same woman who once said that 9/11 was the first time in American History that the Mainland of the United States was attacked by agents of a forgien power (ignoring historically obscure events like Japanese rice paper baloons in WWII, Pancho Villa's raid on Douglas, NM, and War of 1812), that Mercury was dangerous because "it has so much Lead in it", and that children should wear Halloween costumes made from polyester and other synthedtic fabrics because they "Don't burn as easily."

Where is Lewis Black when you need him?

1. To be fair, the Japanese balloons are little known
:D

They sent some Canada's way too, but the things fell in January, so you can imagine the complete lack of effect. :D

2. The capital of Michigan is Madison?
Wonder what Lansing thinks about that?

3. Maybe she thinks that Wisconsin annexed the whole state...
I mean the UP is, and should be for all intents and purposes, part of Wisconsin.
