a "Winter Tree", the are not going to put up a tree.
So who the hell are the stores selling winter trees too?
"To everyone who calls them Christmas trees."
So why call them winter trees when the people who
call Christmas trees, winter trees don't buy winter
trees?
Hey, they were just being all PC in regard to your
feelings: if they weren't, they would have called
them "Yule Trees", to remind us of their pagan
origin and nature.
<Nominated Portion>
Their nature is that they are part of God's creation. Their origin
is Christianity. That's why they're called "Christmas trees", rather
than "yule trees", you see.
</Nominated Portion>
Second. With a bullet.

I submit that someone with the handle "Mindless Drooling Libruls" <LibFoolz@DemWhackjobs.com> is
too obviously a troll to qualify for the "award." That's too much like campaigning, and allowing
people to campaign for TQOTM only cheapens the recognition.

"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in

self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition
of tyranny." - James Madison, _The Federalist_, #47

Hmmm. Interesting thought. You think one actually has to be clever to come across
that maladroit? It's a possibility, one I had considered too, in fact.
But then I think back to J Danforth Quayle...
