It’s beginning to look at least a little like Christmas now that an 88-foot tall Engelmann spruce from Colville National Forest in Colville, WA has been selected to serve as this year’s U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree. The announcement was made this week by Forest Supervisor Laura Jo West: “‘It’s a very beautiful tree, one that the people of this great state will be proud to send to our nation’s capital,’ said West. … “Last month, Ted Bechtol, Superintendent of grounds at the U.S. Capitol, visited the Colville National Forest to look at all the candidate trees identified. He evaluated trees in Stevens, Ferry and Pend Oreille Counties. Bechtol shared, ‘All of the candidate trees are excellent specimens, but the chosen tree has the fullness and width needed for the Capitol grounds.’” The tradition of “The People’s Tree” dates back to 1964, when a 24-foot tall Douglas fir was planted on the Capitol grounds at the suggestion of Speaker John McCormack. After the fir died in 1968, the nation’s Forest Service began providing the tree.As the Church lady would say "well isn't that spe-cial" With the country going to hell in a hand basket, it really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to know that we aren't going to go without a Christmas tree this year. If you want "to get a better sense of this process" RINO Boehner has a video of the 2011 U.S. Capitol Tree being erected.
Tell you what Johnny: Here's the process I'd like to get a better sense of: The process of you pulling your head out of your ass and taking SOME action -- ANY action -- to attempt to reverse the wholesale destruction of our country at the hands of a bunch of radical leftists.
