Easter/Good Friday is the jesus-on-a-stick day. Christmas was the baby-jesus-in-a-barn day.

They can't even get that right, and it's kind of fundamental to the whole thing, isn't it?

frequently feature a cross at the head of the manger. Nothing like reminding the Baby Jesus of his fate before he even leaves the maternity ward.

in the battle over the nativity scene. Protesters argued displays from all religions should be allowed, so we’ve had several Fetivus poles, Flying Spaghetti Monsters, and some freaky skeleton stuff, among other displays.

The crucified Santa was the final straw and now there are no holiday displays on the courthouse lawn. The battle lasted a few years and it was fun to watch.

It was on a front porch in south Wheeling, West Virginia. The Santa in question was one of those inflatable things and was tied to a cross. His head was lolling in a rather disturbing way.

But Jesus, our country is in such poor shape.

I don't think most Americans who don't travel abroad realize how we are viewed, this trailer pretty much sums up our image worldwide. A bunch of illiterate Jesus Freak slobs.

And weight in much of the world is viewed not just as a personal issue, but as a sign that the person is inconsiderate of others. People taking more than their share, creating a health crisis, polluting the planet.

But that's how much of the world views Americans, as slobs. Not saying that's how I see people who are overweight, as I think there's a lot more at play in the US than personal eating and exercise choices, mainly a toxic and addictive food supply. But globally, the US as looked at as undisciplined gluttons who take more than their share of the planet's resources and food.

The overweight American is symbolic abroad that we are a nation of excess.

Don't answer that, it's probably too disturbing.

exotic.

Not how he looks, but that THIS is what they decided a Christmas parade needed...I mean at least the people on the float could have worn costumes as well.

But, it does represent a departure from manger scenes, injecting a bit of violence and horror into an otherwise peaceful and happy holiday event. Maybe that's what they were going for?

"Mama why is Mr. Bob up there wearing a towel?"

"Because...well, Timmy, I don't know...I really don't. LOOK! Santa!"
