Have a Huckleberry Christmas
December 18, 2007
In Huckleberry Huckabee’s new TV ad, where he stands in front of what looks like a cross, he instructs us that we should wish each other Merry Christmas. Now there’s a man of ideas. Thank God I saw the ad on Faux News — otherwise the thought of wishing my friends and family members Merry Christmas would never have entered my mind. Finally, a good reason for government: to remind us to take all of our holiday vacation days.
