I think it would be fitting of this administration if the statue was taking a leak into the pool

3. I was wondering if the statue were mulling over the idea of
jumping in to off himself.:(

Whose idea was that card, anyway? It's about as seasonal and festive as a stick.

11. No Baby Jesus?
President and Mrs. Bush selected the following Bible verse from
Nehemiah and brief message to be incorporated on the card:

You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens,
and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and
all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of
heaven worship you.

Nehemiah 9:6 (NIV)

May the joy of all creation fill your heart this blessed season.



I bet we won't hear a peep about this from the "Put Christ back in Christmas" crowd.

14. It's cool -
They took the bite out of the word "season" by pairing it with "blessed" (pronounced "bless - ED" naturatlly) and a Bible verse. OK, I know that the verse isn't from the New Testament, but it mentions "LORD", so it's perfectly ok. :sarcasm:
