Proper name would be ‘Festivus Shaft’.

The square now boasts, along with the pole, a set of kinara Kwanzaa candles, an oversized bronze Menorah, a Ramadan prayer rug, a large World Aids Day ribbon, an Esperanto plaque commemorating Zamenhof Day, A Finnish Independence Day flag and an x-mas tree.

Once again, everything but a Christian symbol.

Attach a tether ball to it and it might become useful.

Well, if festivus is going to become a national holiday I'm looking forward to the feats of strength when the population gets to get the president, congress and senate into a collective headlock and pin them to the floor. And then we can start airing our grievances on how they've let us down over the last year...of course doing so is going to take at least a year to complete the list.

NEW HAVEN, CT

What I've come to expect from Sanctuary City

[SueRae]

Noticed in the article, the last display mentioned is an “x-mas” tree. No manger, no mention of Christ or Christmas.

I think I’d like to tell New Haven where they can put their Festivus pole.

...the diverse traditions of the holiday season...

One must wonder what those diverse traditions are and exactly what holiday is referred to. Could it be, perchance, MLK's birthday, the 4th of July, New Year's Day, or surely not the birth of our Savior.

Diverse could mean perverse, as in homosexuals and their traditions handed down by satan.

New Haven, unfortunately, has slid into a sewer over the past 25 years and is today a valueless metro area.

For those poor souls who celebrate Christmas I would first of all not buy anything in New Haven and secondly I would plan to get the 'hell' out of that hole.

Here's the shaft and shouldn't this have been posted under 'humor?'

You do hate New Haven, don't you.

Well, if the city did think of such a thing they belong in the tank.

Sometimes I think the best humor goes right over some people’s heads.

This should make the worshippers of BAAL happy....

Soon women may flock to the festivus pole to have their babies aborted.

Thanks for the laugh this morning, where even though it is 10:30 a.m., the sun has not yet peeked over the horizon.

In all seriousness, though, a fair amount of the humor in “Seinfeld” came from mocking liberal icons. The boy in the bubble is an obnoxious snot; gay thugs harass Kramer; recycling goes awry as the guys bring cans to Michigan; volunteerism turns into looting a loud curmudgeon for his records - not to mention a hot woman from Senegal and bald heads; and the main characters are typical New York liberals portrayed as aimless, amoral, listless, and ignorant.

The Festivus holiday mocks the liberal attitude that all holidays around Christmas are supposed to be held with equal reverence. Those of us who are New Yorkers (originally) grew up with Christmas portrayed equally with a minor Jewish festival, Hannukah, and, in later years, the utterly make-believe holiday of Kwanzaa. Festivus has a lot of Kwanzaa in it, especially with the addressing of grievances and the fact that one guy invented it because he was annoyed.

Great link to a great humor newspaper. Hope it isn’t blocked at work.

City installs Festivus pole

"I don't like it. No sir, I don't like it one bit."

[NonValueAdded]

Whereas Festivus doesn't really exist, has not the city gubermint established a religion?
