On today’s show we do a lot of follow up on some news items that we have previously reported on. Most of the time we talk about a certain items in the news and then we never hear again what happened to the story or how it developed. We aren’t sure why but today a lot of the things we have talked about have come back. The Wiccan Christmas ornament at the Green Bay City Hall, the swan that was in love with a plastic swan paddle boat, the woman who was charged with swearing at her toilet and Santas down under that curse have all cropped back up in the news today.
We were so excited the other day when they decided to open up the Christmas scene at the the Green Bay City Hall to other religions. They even placed a Wiccan Holiday Wreath on the roof. Unfortunately, the wreath was vandalized and knocked off the roof. The mayor has now suspended putting other religious symbols up until the city can get its act together. Can’t we all just get along?
We’ve gotten a kick out of the black swan in Germany who fell in love with a swan shaped paddle boat two summers ago. This past summer she took up with the big plastic beast again, but now it seems she is moving on. Yes, it’s over for Petra and the big paddle boat. The swan is spending the winter at a zoo apart from the boat and has taken up with a real live younger swan. Will flesh win out over plastic? Only time will tell.
We thought it was hysterical when Dawn Herb was charged for swearing at her toilet. How frustrating that must have been for her to have toilet overflow and get arrested? Well, the judge dismissed the case against her saying that she was in her rights to cuss. We say “hell yeah,” after all, who hasn”t screamed as their toilet overflowed all the floor?
I guess the “Ha, ha, ha!” is on us! We thought it was so ridiculous that it just might be true but it turns out that an Australian Santa did not in fact get fired for saying “Ho, ho, ho,” because it is offensive to women. Ho of course is slang for whore. It turns out the story is just an urban legend.
According to Snopes.com the Aussie Santas were told not to use the booming “Ho, ho, ho!” around some small children because it may frighten them. The company that trains the Santas asserts that some children are scared by the loud “ho, ho, ho” and that a a nice “Ha, ha, ha!” is better suited to for small children. So now, we question whether a Santa did indeed get fires for saying “Ho, ho, ho!”

Dolly Parton a lesbian? Be still my heart.
I had no idea Fausto hated ham. I am so, so sorry.
Damn, what am I gonna do NOW with this 20-pound ham I got you guys for Christmas?
I have a question about the gay bloggies..
I notice that if you try to vote more than once it will say that you have already voted, but if you go back the next day and vote again, it thanks you for your vote. I do not think I have heard it mentioned that you can vote more than once.. might help your chances
This “war on Christmas” is so insane I think. Next we will hear about the army going into to The North Pole and looking for Weapons of Mass Destruction.
This is soooo wrong… but I would really love to see the “war on Christmas” warriors refuse to put a wreath on the front of their car, and put a little baby Jesus instead. Wouldn’t that be great? I should start an online business…
I just read about the black swan (named Petra) who finally fell in love with a real swan in the German newspaper.
It happened in my hometown Muenster (West-Germany). It was quite fun to see the black swan always following the bigger pedal boat in form of a white swan.
Here are some pics of the ex love couple:

Jeeze… I said I was sorry!
Dolly Parton may not identify as a lesbian, but she likes to fantasize about having sex with women while she’s having sex with her husband:
“When I have sex with my husband these days, I fantasize I am with someone like KEITH URBAN or a petite, hot young woman.”
Check out the original article here.
the Green Bay City Hall thing really burns me up. why can’t everyone just respect everyone’s religious celebration or lack thereof? i’m so sick of people being PC all the time with the Happy Holidays bullshit. if i want to celebrate Christmas then dammit, i’m going to say Merry Christmas; if someone else celebrates something else then they should say that. as far as the Pagan Wiccan Holiday Wreath getting vandalized, that’s just plain wrong. Christmas (as well as all the “Christian” holidays) started off pagan. even after christianity started items from the pagan celebrations were added in to attract the Christians. almost all the decorations and symbols are pagan.
my belief is a blend. i believe in Christ but i also feel that all those other religions in the world and all those god’s they pray too are all one in the same. i feel that either all those gods are related/know each other or they are all one god. basically all that praying throughout the world is all going the same place. i respect other religions and their beliefs, i just wish that folks would start respecting the Christians a bit more.
wow, this ended up a lot longer than i planned.
I finally googled Pavel Novotny OMGAWD so hot!
