First they tried to take the Christ out of Christmas. Now they are after Festivus, the holiday "for the rest of us".
The evil Secularists must be stopped.
(Hey, if O'Reilly can be ridiculous, I can be more so...perhaps I too can create a BS story and get run in all of the major media...)
From CNN.com:

"When a Florida church group put a Nativity scene on public property, officials warned it might open the door to other religious -- and not-so-religious -- displays. They were right.
Since the Nativity was erected in Polk County, displays have gone up honoring Zoroastrianism and the fake holiday Festivus, featured on the TV sitcom "Seinfeld."
...
"But the commission insisted that unless someone claims a particular display and submits a written request asking it remain, it would be removed. By Wednesday evening, no one had claimed the Festivus display, and the commission said it would come down..."
(apologies, I have no text box skills)
They are going to take away festivus on some BS technicality? Where is our Bill O'Reilly on this one? Who will stand up and defend Festivus?
What would the holidays be without the aluminum pole, the feats of strength, and especially the airing of grievences?
We need a Festivus miracle here folks!
