On today’s show we do a lot of follow up on some news items that we have previously reported on. Most of the time we talk about a certain items in the news and then we never hear again what happened to the story or how it developed. We aren’t sure why but today a lot of the things we have talked about have come back. The Wiccan Christmas ornament at the Green Bay City Hall, the swan that was in love with a plastic swan paddle boat, the woman who was charged with swearing at her toilet and Santas down under that curse have all cropped back up in the news today.

We were so excited the other day when they decided to open up the Christmas scene at the the Green Bay City Hall to other religions. They even placed a Wiccan Holiday Wreath on the roof. Unfortunately, the wreath was vandalized and knocked off the roof. The mayor has now suspended putting other religious symbols up until the city can get its act together. Can’t we all just get along?

We’ve gotten a kick out of the black swan in Germany who fell in love with a swan shaped paddle boat two summers ago. This past summer she took up with the big plastic beast again, but now it seems she is moving on. Yes, it’s over for Petra and the big paddle boat. The swan is spending the winter at a zoo apart from the boat and has taken up with a real live younger swan. Will flesh win out over plastic? Only time will tell.

We thought it was hysterical when Dawn Herb was charged for swearing at her toilet. How frustrating that must have been for her to have toilet overflow and get arrested? Well, the judge dismissed the case against her saying that she was in her rights to cuss. We say “hell yeah,” after all, who hasn”t screamed as their toilet overflowed all the floor?

I guess the “Ha, ha, ha!” is on us! We thought it was so ridiculous that it just might be true but it turns out that an Australian Santa did not in fact get fired for saying “Ho, ho, ho,” because it is offensive to women. Ho of course is slang for whore. It turns out the story is just an urban legend.

According to Snopes.com the Aussie Santas were told not to use the booming “Ho, ho, ho!” around some small children because it may frighten them. The company that trains the Santas asserts that some children are scared by the loud “ho, ho, ho” and that a a nice “Ha, ha, ha!” is better suited to for small children. So now, we question whether a Santa did indeed get fires for saying “Ho, ho, ho!”

After a month of grueling hard work, the FINAL entry in the Gay Bloggies chllenge is now up.
