Stuck On Stupid

The Washington Times decided to find what Federal agencies were calling their Christmas Trees.

Government offices and political agencies in the District were as delicate as snowflakes yesterday when discussing what they call the Christmas trees inside their buildings — with some exceptions.

"The calendar the federal government gave to us said ‘Christmas holiday,’ so we’re saying it’s a Christmas tree," said Staff Sgt. Lorenzo Parnell of the D.C. National Guard.

The recent concern among Christians about efforts to make Christmas a secular holiday was reignited when The Washington Times reported Tuesday that House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert directed officials to rename the tree on the Capitol’s West Lawn the "Capitol Christmas Tree."

"I strongly urge that we return to this tradition and join the White House, countless other public institutions and millions of American families in celebrating the holiday season with a Christmas tree," Mr. Hastert, Illinois Republican, wrote in a Nov. 16 letter to Architect of the Capitol Alan M. Hantman.

The first Capitol tree in 1964 was known as a Christmas tree but was renamed a holiday tree in the mid-1990s to acknowledge other cultural traditions, sources said. Nobody knows who ordered the change or when it occurred, however…..

It’s not unusual that the Christmas Tree was renamed in the 1990’s to become a "Holiday Tree". 
Do Bubba & *PIAPS Clinton come to mind?
