This just has to be satire

not too many lights here during past Christmasses, but this year the stops are going to be pulled. there will be lights all over the place, just because the atheist punks have started their objections to creches in public.

they’re hiding behind religion and claiming to be offended because of religious sensibilities; hogwash. they just won’t declare themselves and their spiritual emptiness.

It must be difficult to attract good writers to Ely.

Or good readers to FR. This piece is sarcasm.

If this article isn't a joke, then Kent Harper needs his ass removed and presented back to him as a Christmas gift.

I guess someone could ask him -

It definitely had a sarcastic feel. But it’s hard to tell these days.

We bought the LED lights for the indoor trees (2 huge ones!), and will be watching for them to go on sale after Christmas for the 50 ft tree outside.

Did we do it because we care about global warming? Hell no, it’s 17 degrees out! We can only hope all those lights warm it up! We did it because they’ll lower our massive Christmas season electric bill.

Gotta be careful which ones you choose, however. We’ve found that the closer together the bulbs are, the cheerier and brighter they are. I found this out the hard way, after the upstairs tree was all decorated, including the individually placed icicles. Ever try taking the lights off (and then replacing them) a tree without disturbing the ornaments or icicles?

Yeah, I know. I didn't catch on until over half-way through.

I read this article as quite humorous satire personally. I think the TOPICS/KEYWORD needs to be changed to read as such.

hahaha! What an advanced nation!

I really like how all of the nations were obliging enough to put really bright yellow lights all around their borders--even when their borders are delineated by the ocean!

"Polar bears eat inattentive, cavorting reindeer and don't drink Coke: they're drinking sea water because all our CO2 emissions have melted their ice rafts."

For some reason I think this is a funny line. And yes, it IS satire. But good stire, because it's all based on REAL liberal lunacy.

An imbecilic rant. His intellectual depth wouldn’t float a dead snail darter.
