Has anyone checked with the llamas?  Most people wouldn't know the difference.  I hear they are a little more religiously ambiguous as well.

Is Bill O and The Gretch  going to show up to protest the parade?  I think they should after all the protesting they did on tv this week.

It's all for show.  They don't really believe the crap they spew.  The spew is for the unkempt masses.

Arnett got up and said he lives and works downtown. The parade inconveniences him and he doesn't mind being inconvenienced if he agrees with the name of the parade.

What a selfish putz.

Thousands of kids look forward to the parade each year and Arnett is only concerned about how it inconveniences him.

You don't think he's narcissistic or anything do you?

How does someone like this get such an inflated view of their own importance?

For the record:

Councilors Bill Christiansen, G.T. Bynum, Chris Trail, Maria Barnes and Jack Henderson voted in favor of the permit,

while Councilors Rick Westcott, Jim Mautino and Roscoe Turner were against it.

Councilor John Eagleton was absent.

Which is pretty funny since last year, the permit for the "PSO Parade of Lights" was approved unanimously.  Also the "Jingle Bell Run" and the "Salvation Army Santa's Motorcycle Toy Meet."

I thought he legally changed his name to "David ILiveAndWorkDowntown Arnett"

That's how he introduces himself at meetings, dinners, and to random passers by.

Changing opinions one mistake at a time.

Yes, because Holiday is a contraction of the words Holy and Day.  Holy from the Hebrew quodesh (ho-de) and Greek Hagios meaning "separate."  A term that is obviously devoid of the acceptance of diversity.

We don't want a day devoted to recognizing the absence of diversity do we? 

That would be offensive.

Uh oh!  What about the word day?  Don't even want to open that can of worms.  ;)

Yep, just as soon as libruls convince the fundies their religion is out-moded.

So who actually is in charge of this name change, was it Mcnellies Group? Did they not want Christmas in the name? That wouldn't be a very wise move on their part as a business I would think.
