Ears of corn stand for her son, Woodie, who attends UW- Madison.

I don't know how you can read that and not laugh.

I'm sure there are some nice people having a meaningful celebration with their families.

It's a shame they've been deluded in this way. Celebrate Christmas, New Year's Day, Epiphany ... heck, throw a huge bash for Day of the Dead, or Baden-Powell's birthday ... but stay away from Marenga and his evil.

Kwanzaa got its first citywide celebration in Madison on Saturday... blah blah blah...organizer Godwin Amegashie told the gathering of about 250 people.

Madison must be one small city.

"Is Kwanzaa the thing where the Kingfish comes down the chimney with presents for children??"

If it isn't, it's something they should add for next year.

Oh, no. Just small-minded. That's a normal turn out. The People's Republik of Madistan is about 200K strong. No more than 250 socialists ever turn out for ANYTHING...but it's always "major news" and deserves coverage. ;)

I'm caucasian. Can I celebrate this holiday too? Or is it an innately racist holiday?
