"First they came for Santa Claus, and I did not speak up..."

I know, I know, it's too easy (and someone on Twitter already said this...I already forget whom) but the city that booed and threw snowballs at Santa Claus has now arrested Jesus. You could see this coming, though, when they started cracking down on Elmo and his friends over on Sesame Street.

Is there a serious point here? Maybe. "Philly Jesus" was arrested for asking folks for money in taking a picture with them...soliiciting. Perhaps they could have just simply told him to knock it off? Do we arrest too many people in this country? I have a hunch we'll find out, for better or worse, this week.
