A Tax On Christmas Trees In Order To Promote Christmas Trees? Thanks, Mr. President

Gosh, just what we needed! The government, having already hired its quota of deadbeat relatives to act as bunny inspectors, comes up with a new program: Christmas Tree PR! And, since it's the government, it doesn't have to get clients like an ordinary PR firm -- it can just impose taxes and say that's what they're going for. Some people have way too much time on their hands, and we're paying for it.

Talk about a reason to defund the Agriculture Department.
