Here's another fave, not as hot-button, just hilarious:

CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT BIRTH OF CHRIST
December 12, 2001
Mr. Speaker, the school prayer issue is out of control, literally. Students in Pennsylvania were prohibited from handing out Christmas cards. Reports say students in Minnesota were disciplined for having said merry Christmas. Now if that is not enough to find coal in your athletic supporter, check this out: A school board in Georgia removed the word ``Christmas'' from their school calendar because the ACLU threatened to sue. Beam me up. If this is religious freedom, I am a fashion model for GQ.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the fact that Christmas is not about a jolly old fat man. Christmas is about the birth of Christ.

THANKS for posting that http://www.jamestraficant.com/speech.htm link to the Traficant one-minutes -- the gov site is defunct, and google cache also disappointed (nor did your link did not show up on it). Best wishes on your program tonight.
