Dirty Peaceniks Ruin Subdivision's Christmas

A Denver homeowner has forced the homeowners association of her subdivision to back down from a threat to fine her over a peace sign. Lisa Jensen, in the spirit of the season, put up a pine bough wreath in the shape of a peace sign on her house. Some of the other homeowners complained that it was a protest of the Iraq war (and according to the article some saw it as a "symbol of Satan." Those people should seek help) and the Loma Linda Homeowners Association threatened to fine her $25 a day unless she took it down. Peace on Earth and Goodwill Towards All, indeed!

The association has since retracted the threat of fines, calling the incident a misunderstanding. Ms. Jensen received hundreds of calls and offers to help her pay the full amount of the fine, which would have added up to $1,000 if she had left it up until Christmas.

I'm pretty certain god really didn't have much to do with this. I hear he's pretty busy helping Benny Hinn get the down payment for his new jet.
