First the Mitchell Report, now this
On December 11th the US Congress introduced a bill to the floor for consideration. The bill was to recognizing the importance of Christmas and Christianity. 9 Democrats voted against this resolution. And it gets even better, all of these 9 people voted to recognize the importance of Ramadan. I mean come on. One of the 9 is Alcee Hastings. Some may know him as an African-American Congressman from Altamont Springs Florida and others may remember him as the most recent federally appointed Judge to impeached and removed from office, if you care he was impeached for accepting $150,000 bride for a lenient sentence. This is ridiculous. I am also disgusted at the number of republicans and democrats who voted present, just a cop out. I hate people.

Separate of Church and State, anyone? Why the hell should they even give a damn about this? I sure don't, so don't even bother answering me directly.
*Separation*
I don't particularly like that I can't wish my customers a Merry Christmas, but I suppose the majority doesn't count since they aren't the ones bitching... I personally don't care if someone tells me Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays, or whatever, the thought is still the same. But I'm also not going to hide my beliefs when I don't have to. I don't know what my point is by the way.
I want to hear a comment from the token Jew friend...where is Josh??
What exactly was the bill proposing? I personally think we have much bigger things to worry about right now than the classic "separation of church and state" argument. Right now that means about the same to me as abortion.
Disclaimer...not saying those things aren't important...but we need to re-prioritize.
Stupid meaningless politics, debate an issue that isn't important and when your opponent says "hey remember the war, a crashing economy, plummeting dollar, and crumbling infrastructure," seems like we have more important issues to discuss than whether it is Kraft cheese and macaroni or macaroni and cheese you can call him a santa killing baby raper. The tactic is brilliant if your opponent votes against it, or just abstains you call him a terrorist loving anti-american who pees on christmas trees. Leave the holidays alone they are diversions in themselves they don't need the help.The people in congress need to get back on track, stop sleeping with hookers, stop taking bribes, offering sexual favors in bathroom stalls, and get back to running the country. I personally don't care if someone says merry christmas, happy chanukah, or happy kwanza because I get ham with one, potato pancakes with the other, and sweet potatos with the latter. I also like the chocolate gold coins wrapped in foil, we should have made a dreydl drinking game.
PS I also saw a funny shirt that said " MY LIFE IS A VERY COMPLICATED DRINKING GAME "
There he is!!!!
