Ed. Note: Larry Snyder is a clever Common Tater from Washington with some "Cheers & Jeers" to hand out below.

*CHEERS -- to Dave Stoltzfus, the owner of the Upper Crust Bakery stand in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He refused to remove pictures of President Bush and the first lady. He was asked to do so by City Councilman Nelson Polite (who didn't live up to his name). Polite demanded that the photos be taken down in order to let the city "heal" after the election.

*CHEERS -- to Seahawk wide receiver Darrell Jackson. After he was told of his father's death early Sunday morning, Darrell went out and had his best game this year -- 10 catches for 135 yards and one touchdown. "This one's for you, Dad!"

*JEERS -- to the reporters who demanded President Bush's chief speechwriter defend the President's references to religion in his speeches. We should demand that they defend their rampant, rabid, and repugnant Christophobia.

*JEERS -- to the Philadelphia police department for arresting and handcuffing a 10-year old girl who brought to school...a pair of scissors. The contraband was in her backpack. Imagine what would have happened if she would have had a Bible (gasp) in that backpack!

Love the blog, Dave!
