Yes, Barry, go f*ck yourself

Barry weighs in on the pushback of people against the effort to de-Christmas Christmas*

This week in Washington, D.C., the “Capitol Holiday Tree” was renamed the “Capitol Christmas Tree” at the request of House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill.

It was called a Christmas tree until the mid-1990s, Hastert spokesman Ron Bonjean said. “The Speaker thought it was important to reflect what Americans call their trees, which are Christmas trees,” he said.

Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said using the term “Christmas tree” excludes people of other faiths and backgrounds.

Barry, don't you have some lawsuits to file? You know, like keeping The Chronicles of Narnia out of the hands of little kids?

Shhhhhhh. . . for pity's sake, Darleen, don't give this guy any ideas!

(I'm sure somebody, somewhere, is trying to cook up a lawsuit based on exactly that! And just wait till the new Narnia movie comes out! The culture wars are really going to heat up then! Gonna make the whole "Passion" foo-far-raw look like a calk walk!)
