Gov. Rick Scott’s (R) office has approved the request of a self-proclaimed “militant atheist” to install an 8-foot-tall Festivus pole made of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer cans in the Florida State Capitol building.
According to Tamarac Talk, Deerfield Beach resident Chaz Stevens asked for permission to honor the holiday created by the television show Seinfield after learning that there was a Christian nativity manger and a Three Wise Men display.
“I figured one ridiculous act required another,” Stevens noted.
After the activist forced Deerfield Beach to allow him to erect his pole outside the main fire station last year, the city voted to ban all religious displays.
Stevens plans to install the pole at the Capitol building on Wednesday.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) was also forced to approve a Festivus pole for his state’s Capitol building this year.
FESTIVUS!!! I hope someone posts footage of people going to that pole in honor of the day when that day rolls around!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite part is the Airing of Grievances.
This is really Sarah's favorite holiday. She celebrates it constantly. Every time she opens her mouth all that comes out are imaginary grievances.
DeleteYeah, just wait until the Feats of Strength. ;)
DeleteI love the Pagan Holy Days! All of them!
ReplyDeleteWe live in a nation of religious choice. I choose that Old Time Religion: it's good enough for me!
"I swear that video gave me a case of the giggles"
ReplyDeleteI had the same reaction, Gryph. tee-hee-hee
C'mon, Satanists! Don't let the atheists steal your religious thunder. It's time for a nice big honkin' monument honoring your leader Satan to appear in front of the FL capitol building!
ReplyDeleteI mean, really, what would be a more appropriate place for it?
Feats of Strength!!!!!!! A Festivus for the rest of us!!!!!
ReplyDeletehaha, F U Scott Walker, Festivus for the rest of us! I'm kind of loving it! GO WISCONSIN
ReplyDeleteWonder how long the line will be in 'sconny to GRIEVE to/about Scott Walker, the little ferret.
ReplyDeleteI didn't giggle - but I did smile and chuckle a bit.

One question: Do they HAVE to be Pabst Blue Ribbon cans, or will Miller High LIfe do? I want it to be kosher...
