I was going to pick up the megaphone the bikers threw down after they got done with him but there wasn't any pieces big enough to use. ;^)

Congrats to you all! Apparently the city council and mayor were justifiably humiliated and embarrassed!
To: Jimmy Valentine's brother
Another chant was, "Shame, shame, shame-RESIGN !"
That one brought lots of smiles of agreement from the good citizens of Kensington.

Thank you. I'm glad you guys went out there. I look forward to the pictures of all of those Santa's. Kind of like Florida being descended upon by Conservatives in polo shirts. LOL!

BREAKING
The little town of Kensington, MD, broke all previous records of the number of Santa's ever assembled in one place, according to reporter, Chris Kringle.
"I've never seen so much red in one place since I visited Bosnia for Christmas in 1998," he said. "The Santas not only broke the Guiness record, but also vowed to purge the village of its idiots (Democrats).
"It's about frigging time," said Santa Claus, from his throne at the pole. "I have ordered tons of extra coal for them this year."
None of the village idiots were present at the ceremony and a new group, Bikers for the Claws, provided security. There were rumors that some council members were angry that the citizens had so much fun without them there.
Thanks to the not-so-Supreme Court however, any representations of Jesus, Joseph or Mary were prevented from the celebrations. St. Nicholas is rumored to be very pissed off and readying some lightning bolts.

Multiple Santa Clauses participate in a tree lighting
Kensington, Md. The Montgomery County community of
1,800 sparked worldwide outrage, and snickering, when
town officials banned Santa in October, changing the annual
event from being Christmas-oriented to a patriotic celebration.
Dozens of men in Santa costumes showed up Sunday for the event.

GREAT JOB ALL. wish i could of been there but live in Arizona. However, lets not forget to see what Kensingtown is up to NEXT YEAR at this time- who knows they might want to get rid of the "tree ceremony"all together but the FREEPERS wont let them. maybe we can even convince them to call it a christmas tree parade- lol
To: Hail Caesar
Our family has boycotted the downtown Pittsburgh, PA merchants since they (yes, the merchants) no longer refer to Christmas as being associated with this time of the year. They now call it "Sparkle Season." I know of many others who stay away for the same reason.
