I had a few thoughts on your comments:

Got any back up for that? If you're referring to illegal immigrants, the Board of Supervisors thinks LA County has about 12% of the illegal immigrants in the United States. Because LA County has about 10,000,000 residents, 40% illegal would be 4,000,000 people. Backing that into the 12% number would mean there are roughly 33,000,000 illegals in the United States, an estimate that is over 3 times the Department of Homeland security estimate.

Sorry to interrupt your combo PC/illegal immigrant rant, but most illegal immigrants would be perfectly comfortable with a "Merry Christmas" greeting, coming as they do from largely Catholic countires.

Once again sorry to interrupt your rant with facts, but the Orange County bankruptcy was largely the result of a ponzi investment scheme gone bad by Orange County Treasurer-Tax Collector Robert L. Citron. Although illegal immigrant costs are clearly a challenge for southern California counties, the Orange County bankruptcy had little to do with illegal immigrant costs and much to do with a crooked government employee.
I'm always surprised how people who claim to be Christians express such unChristian thoughts in the name of Christianity.
With that said, you boys enjoy yourselves and don't mind me.
By the way, Merry Christmas.
