OT - What can I do with 2' long plastic candy canes (2023 Update)

You hit that one on the head! Chistmas used to be a religious holyday for Christians (or at least SOME Christians; the early Pilgrims to America fore bade its celebration!).

In the late 19th Century, British entrpreneurs began a very successful mark eting campaign to transform Christmas into a gift-giving bonanza for (their ) fun & profit. So now we have stressed, frustrated shoppers running down to the drugstore to pick up a last-minute [gift]. Stores display Christmas decorations & gifts earlier each year, even before Thanksgiving. You can' t blame them, since the market has become so distorted that some stores nus t count on 1/3 of their annual sales during the "Christmas season".

Wonder what the Subject would have thought of all this hoo-hah. As the bum per sticker proclaims: WWJT/D.

because we actually think, research, analyze -- all without benefit of ideology. Something the extremists on either side have trouble grasping.

to bring Obama down (Mitch McConnell on the record) by obstructing his every initiative for the benefit of the people rather than the corporations and Wall Street. Treason!

Mad Dogs. You don't reach out a hand to someone who's sworn to bite it off. LBJ would never have allowed the chutzpah they display toward the President; he had decades of rough&tumble legislative experience before JFK picked him for VP.

TV, and seems to surround himself with unqualified advisors.

years to make a difference. Stop making speeches and make a difference. GROW A PAIR!

You have got to be kidding. You really think that O tried to negotiate with the right? That's not how I heard it. The Reps passed several budgets, and O vetoed them all.

You really think O hasn't made a difference in the US? I'd say that gutting the military, firing the generals, throwing millions of Americans off their health care plans, increasing unemployment from 4% to 20% Operation Fast and Furious, and the Benghazi slaughter. Those all were different. Sequester, government shut down. All on Obama's shoulders.

Now *THAT'S* the funniest thing you've ever said, old bag.

It is the only way to save the country.

You're such a stupid old bag. Good grief!

He hires himself?

Yeah, you're "independent". What a stupid old bag.

Perhaps you and some like minded folks should form The Grinch Terrorist Group. You can blow up Christmas parades, chop down Christmas trees, vandalize and burn nativity scenes, etc. It would be epic, the effect would be amazing. There would be a Neighborhood Grinch Watch, there would be roaming bands of armed federal troops stopping anyone with a Christmas present, tearing the package open and scattering the contents to make sure it's not a GTG bomb. Every Christmas season there would be roadblocks with machine gun armed police wearing Santa and Elf hats, stopping and searching every vehicle to make sure it's not a GTG car bomb. You and those of your ilk could change society forever. ^_^

Higgs, being an independent heavy duty Obama supporter, would certainly support all the actions you outline. She independently decided that Obama needs to grow a pair, and put machine gun road blocks on every intersection. It's for the children. Nobody is making up her mind for her. Obama! Obama! Obama! Kill Tea Party terrorists! She decided that, all on her own.
