O Tannenbaum

[bigmacbear]

Looking at a picture verytiredmummy posted of an outsized Christmas tree in a public space in Berlin (convention center? airport?) reminded me of this little gem from here in Seattle: Airport Christmas Trees Gone After Rabbi's Request. Note that it's made the national news. Maybe here it should be "Oy, Tannenbaum" instead.

Update: The airport officials and the rabbi have worked out their differences, so the trees are coming back.

Share the sense beatings

Personally, I would also add a few more groups who also need some common sense beatings. Namely, the lawsuit-minded, ambulance chasing lawyers for threatening the lawsuit and to the Port of Seattle for removing the trees immediately after the lawsuit was filed. Obviously, the Port of Seattle's very swift action fro one complaint made for an embarassing public relations snafu to the point that you see the story all over the web and on various news outlets. (Certainly, Faux News Channel had a field day with that story!)

Then again, when does media, corporations, lawyers and people who have complaints ever make any sense?
