When it comes to Christmas, political correctness apparently only lasts about a half-hour in Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue's office.
A press release sent by Perdue's office Friday afternoon announced plans for a "holiday tree" lighting ceremony ...
Thirty minutes later, a second release went out reading: "It is, in fact, a Christmas tree."
That release blaming the earlier wording on "a politically correct staff brain-freeze," ...
Perdue spokesman Dan McLagan said there's no doubt where the Republican governor comes down on the issue.
"When the governor learns that one of my staffers even inadvertently used the words 'holiday tree,' I am probably going to be in trouble," McLagan said. ...

LOL BTTT!
BTW, Merry Christmas!
Excellent Christmas news.
Merry Christmas to all!
ROFLMAO!
Did anyone get their Holiday card from the President and Mrs. Bush? My kids thought it was the coolest thing that the President sent us a holiday card.
I wasn't too crazy about the closing of the schools, but he is definitely better than what the Cynthia McKinney crazies will put up against him. : )
FINALLY someone has figured out that only CHRISTMAS has a Christmas tree!!!
It's happening in a lot of places.
My city had their 'Holiday Parade' this evening. The newspaper carried a story about all the people calling because of the name change, but the 'name' was published too late to get much done ahead of time.
I'm sure there will be a lot more about it in the next few days!
Here I have seen "Giving Tree" on printed material.....
Two symbols at bottom - one in each corner -
One was rather generic.....
The other very religious.....
Two candy canes in each top corner -
The PC snakes are attempting to remove Christmas from Christmas and make it some "share-it-or-else" secular holiday
"Giftgivingday"
Amazingly - the "Giving Tree" printed requests for "Giving Presents" had no illustration of any sort of "tree" on it at all.....
Did this anger me?
Will it change all of my shopping, buying, eating, business, social, practices and habits now?
Take a big ol' wild guess!
There are a (very) few people on his tiny planet that you never want to ever cross or cheat or lie to or scam or con -
The bait & switch garbage just ain't gettin' it
This even angered my liberal NYC sister - what asked me to create an E-Card she can email out to all of her business buddies, relatives, and friends - many thousands of families and individuals around the globe
I made two Chrsitmas E-Cards up - one .wavs - one stereo .midis
After seeing and hearing them - both - my liberal NYC sister said to me - "If they don't like them....."
Hidden flaws are not a bargain -
..... and Zircons Are Not Forever.....
I like your graphic too. May I please use it?
Yes, share it with anyone.
