The War on God: the continuing chronicles

While air-polluting pantloads like Tony Snow and Bill O'Reilly whine about the imaginary liberal War on Christmas, the real culprits at the Pentagon seem to be escaping their notice:

For precisely three weeks a year, the Defense Department allows displays of holiday spirit on its premises, provided they conform to rules in the 12-page "Pentagon Guide for Use of Hallways."

That means no candles, no shouting, no live Christmas trees, no loud music, no hanging things in the windows. "No lights in the hallways, no lights on the doors," Pentagon Building Manager Michael J. Bryant said. "It's safety-oriented — all the humbug stuff."

Why does the Pentagon hate the baby Jebus?
