A Stimulus Idea For the Economy
I just watched Andy Rooney kvetch about retailers wanting to skip right over Thanksgiving so they can get the retail Christmas season going, noting that some retailers realize about thirty percent of their annual sales during the Christmas run.

May I suggest to president-elect Obama that he install a quarterly Christmas in the calendar year to shake dollars loose from consumers into the economy?

I think it more likely that Christmas will be removed from the calendar and several Islamic holidays inserted, and you will be required to spend 90% of what you have, or send it to Hussein O.
