Ladies and Gentlemen ... start your cameras!

Michele has opened the Tacky Christmas 2004 campaign and is soliciting all comers. Do you have neighbors whose display confuses lowflying planes in the area? Who mix in the display other holidays or weirdly inappropriate cartoon characters? Michele wants the pictorial evidence!

Heheheh. I have a candidate in my neighborhood all picked out. I'm just waiting for her to finish getting it all up and pilots in the area start to buzz her place.

In a related incidence of profound tackiness, I offer up this story from Eric at Classical Values.

As Black Friday shoppers crammed into the King of Prussia mall, a pro-union Santa stood vigil with striking Pennsylvania Turnpike toll collectors nearby on day three of their first-ever strike.

At 380 pounds, the bearded, 60-year-old retiree and friend of striking workers was the picture of Santa, albeit with a Teamsters shirt beneath his red coat and a picket sign shoved under his wide black belt.

"My deer will not cross a picket line," Drexel Hill resident Tom Anthony warned as he waved to motorists at the Valley Forge interchange. "It will be a sad Christmas if Santa cannot come to the Northeast."


I await the pro-union nativity scene where Joseph intones how sad it will be if the wise men can't bring their gifts since they won't cross picket lines and Mary is holding a sign that says Don't Make Baby Jesus Cry.
