Is Easter latest holiday hijack?
Ehhr, are Xtians afraid that someone would steal easter?
The question is, is this to stupid even for Bill O'Reilly?

Eh, just more of the trademark idiocy of our species. If it wasn't that, it'd be some other non-issue that no one other than the brain-damaged cares anything about. 
There will be no Easter Bunny at my place this year, as I haven't bothered to go hunting. Maybe next year...

I feel my psychic powers being proven. See the 6th post down on this page (I tried the get post url instructions but they don't work on a locked thread, since you can't reply  )
Quick, somebody call Randi!
I agree that governments should not post any messages endorsing "Easter", but I would accept "Happy God Killed His Son To Make Up For Some Dumb Broad Eating An Apple And If You Don't Believe It You're Going To Hell Day". |

It annoys me that these sort of assholes have totally skewed the meaning of "political correct". The whole idea of political correctness is promoting awarenss of diversity and consideration for minorities. Sure political correctness has many times gone off the deep end into absurdity, but that doesn't mean the general concept isn't a good and useful idea.
