Orlando crazies at it again: Trying to make "Merry Christmas" official.
Anyone know Stephen Colbert's hotline? This place is ripe for plucking.

TALLAHASSEE, Florida— An Orlando lawmaker doesn't want to hear "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" on December 25 — just "Merry Christmas."

Florida Sen. Gary Siplin filed a resolution (SR 320) this week that would recognize "Merry Christmas" as the state of Florida's official greeting for December 25.

In the resolution, the Orlando Democrat writes that Christmas is a holiday of "great significance to most Americans" and that "many Christians and non-Christians" recognize the holiday as a time "to cherish and serve others."

It's not likely that a state employee would be punished for giving an alternate greeting. A resolution is often ceremonial and does not have the effect of law.

2. A Democrat did this? Has he been watching too much Bill O'Reilly or something?
That shit will shrink your brain.
