Monkey Thoughts

More things to warm my heart this season.
Lisa Jensen decided to hang up her wreath this year. Her wreath happens to be in the shape of that widely known peace symbol. You know, peace. That GOOD thing. We like peace, right?
Apparently not. Her home owners association, run by a Bob Kearns, has told her to remove the wreath or face a $25 a day fine . Why? Because apparently we don't want peace when the boys are away at war. We want WAR. And supporting the troops! Because peace would mean no war for the troops to go away to! And then how the hell could we support them? GODDAMMIT, WE NEED OUR YELLOW RIBBONS!
At least, this is what I imagine is going on through Bob Kearns' head. Cause you apparently can't support the troops and be pro peace. And you can't wish for peace without making an Iraq statement. Despite the fact that this whole peace concept wasn't suddenly invented in the past few years.
Oh, and some people allegedly think the peace symbol is satanic. Not sure what that is about.
Whatever. I just hope Lisa Jensen tells them all where to stick it. It's not like she's got a whole "Bush is an ass" sign or "WMD are for fools!" sign hanging around. It's a freaking wreath. If she had a "Peace on Earth" banner hanging out, would they make her take that down too? Talk about overreacting.
If I had a spare $25, I'd send it to her to cover the cost of one more day.
