yeah – i said i wasn’t 100% sure about that. i was flashing back to 10th grade religion class and the chapter that talks about symbolism in christian holidays (much of which is borrowed heavily from Judiasm)

Maybe we can blame it on the Kennedy’s.
Luckily, I consider myself to be politically independent.
