A Confederacy Of Scrooges

Proving that idiots run in packs, the Loma Linda Homeowners Association in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, has threatened to fine resident Lisa Jensen $25 a day until she takes down her peace sign-shaped Christmas wreath. It seems they're choosing to see it as A) an anti-Iraq War symbol or B) a symbol of Satan. Yeah, Satan. For the record, Jensen says she wasn't thinking about the war when she put the wreath up. Just something about Christmas being about "Peace on Earth". Look for LLHA President Bob Kearns and the Committee of Doom to soon ban images of Santa Claus for having a moustache because Hitler did and pictures of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer because a bright red nose is an indication of alcoholism.
