There will be no Nativity Scene in Washington DC this year! The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in Americas's capital this Christmas season.
This isn't for any religious reason, they simply have not been able to find Three Wise Men in the Nation's capitol, nor could they find a virgin.
P.S. There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable.
From Doug, who is overflowing with the spirit of the season.
I first heard this one courtesy of Molly Ivins, who was quoting Anne Richards on the topic of a Nativity scene on the grounds of the Texas "Lege".

ReplyDeleteI think it works better for Washington these days. Even New York's famously dysfunctional state legislature worked better than Washington over the last 8 years.
ReplyDeleteThere's a virtue in rubbing it in ;=)
