Taking "Christ" Out Of Christmas!

"Jesus is the reason for season." Well, maybe not. The Marines and their annual "Christmas" Toys for Tots program that distributes gifts to needy children at "Christmas" time must not think so. A California Teddy Bear company that makes Bible character dolls, tried to donate 4,000 of the religious figures (retail $20 each) to the charity and their gift was turned down. The Jesus Christ, Moses, David, Mary and other figures spoke Bible verses when a button was activated. * Star Snickers * These dolls spout awful things like, "Love your neighbor as yourself", "Thou shall not steal", "Thou shall not kill" and the 23rd Psalm. All very detrimental to children, no doubt. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, isn't "Christmas" named after Jesus Christ and don't we give gifts at "Christmas" time because of the gifts the wise men gave to Jesus at His birth? DUH! Political correctness gone amuck or salvation for the children? See and hear these dangerous and undesireable toys in action.

"Going Dutch"

Recently a Dutch mayor suggested that the Dutch troops in Afghanistan could use some added benefits to deal with the stress of combat. "The army must consider ways its soldiers can let off steam," Annemarie Jorritsma, mayor of the town of Almere said. "There was once the suggestion that a few prostitutes should accompany troops on missions. I think that is something we should talk about," she said, adding that the prostitutes would keep soldiers from turning to local women. * Star Snickers* If that happened, "mail call" could be quite an event. This could bring new meaning to the phrase "You've got a box from home!" And "going Dutch" would be on the government's dime. Get the rest of the story.

Pluto, You're Out!

Pluto is not only a Mickey Mouse cartoon character (created in 1930, the same year the planet Pluto was discovered), but a planet, or at least it was. That's right, one of the planets messed up and got kicked out of the Solar System. This will probably have some serious consequences on our educational system. Besides changes in the text books, planetariums, Solar System hanging mobiles and models, space charts, and horoscopes, games shows may be effected. * Star Snickers * Who wants To Be a Millionaire and Jepardy may have to change some questions and answers. For example, "What former planet which is no longer a planet, used to be the 9th and fartherest planet in our Solar system?" Duh, Aflac! Homer Simpson, "Do you know the answer?" "Dolt!" Now that Pluto's in the doghouse, what's next? Will they someday put the Big and Little Dippers on the shelf and not allow them to be called constellations? This is a slippery slope and personally I think they've gone too far. All the way to Pluto, in fact! We saved the whales, now let's save Pluto! Let the world vote on it. "Do you want to keep Pluto as the 9th planet or not?" Where's the love? It's almost like Mickey telling his dog, Pluto, "You're no longer a dog." I thought once a dog always a dog and once a planet always a planet? Get the rest of the story. Submitted by www.frontiergalaxies.com Get the New "Save Pluto" T-Shirt!
