Santa Claus Crucified

[Songbird]

Just caught this on AP

Art Conrad hung a Santa from a cross in front of his West Bremerton, Wash. home, making a statement about the commercialization of Christmas, on Friday, December 21, 2007. The display is also Conrad's way of poking fun at political correctness, he says. (AP Photo/Kitsap Sun, Larry Steagall)

Wasn't there something in the story about a sign under the cross (or somewhere in the yard) saying that he died for your Mastercard bill.

Nothing beats the "Uncle Sam" sign near Chehalis in terms of Washingtonian wackiness.

Well, that is until God weighed in with his rebuttal.

Now Tom, you know that Washington is a very liberal state, so I don't think God's weighing in was against republicnas.

old tony - the greater seattle area is a very liberal "state." the rest of washington, especially the area with the uncle sam sign in the pic above, not so much.

you would love, and gladly share a voting booth, with the uncle sam folks. ;)

I wonder what the guys from MxPx, a semi-Christian punk band, are saying now. They live in Bremerton, Wash., and have been major stars in that town since they began playing in 1992 -- or so I've read and heard.
