DENVER - A homeowners association in southwestern Colorado has threatened to fine a resident $25 a day until she removes a Christmas wreath with a peace sign that some say is an anti- Iraq war protest or a symbol of Satan.

One of the things the American Taliban seem good at is referring every little convenience in the Bible - or, conversely, lack of convenience - too some sort of committee for new and improved translation. The guys who translated the King James version were sort of like the CIA, a bunch of bumblewits who told us stuff we didn't like. So maybe it turns out the angels those shepherds claimed they saw (what were they smoking, anyway?) were singing something else, like "Prince of Free Markets," or "Prince of Dropping Bombs on Iraq" (although, well, if I remember my geography correctly that last might have been a little too close for comfort). But it surely couldn't have been "Prince of Peace" or peace signs and Christmas would sort of go together.
Wouldn't they?
