Pictures just cannot do Sir John Soane justice. Visiting this utter gem of a house again today reminded me of that.

You can’t teach that. Dude is straight up brilliant.
"face palm" as you kids say.
I was just invited to join this facebook group. Kentucky Christians are all up in a tizzy because ONE tree, the tree on the Capitol lawn, will be called the “holiday tree” instead of a “Christmas tree,” so as to include those who celebrate other religious holidays. Gimme a break, people. No one is stopping you from celebrating Christmas the way you want to.

“This site needs to be sent to all leaders of Kentucky and every state in America. The President needs to read it too.”
“I find it terrible that you find the need to remove the very reason for the seaon from Christmas. I’m surprised you haven’t stopped celebrating Christmas all together. When you take Christ out of Christmas you have nothing to celebrate except just another day. Christ is Christmas . My skin crawls when the gr…eeters in the stores are required to say Happy holidays instead of Merry Christmas and now our Governor wants a Holiday tree. Well I say to you Governor Merry Christmas and don’t expect my vote if you decide to run again I want a Christian Governor and one that’s proud of it.”
“Dont DARE take my christmas away from me!!”
(and my personal favorite…)
“Oh for crying out loud, it’s Christmas time——— it’s a tree, thus it’s a Christmas tree—— How come people freedom to be anti-christ outweights my right to be pro- CHRIST? I don’t believe that was our founding fathers intentions—- and I don’t believe it is the majorities intentions now. God save our country———”
Reblogging because it’s exciting to see another state being crazy for once. Also, do they realize that Christmas trees aren’t really even Christian? And that they’re getting all up in arms about their pagan symbol being taken away?
