More than 20 carolers turned out to sing about the fiscal cliff at Tysons Corner Center on Monday.
Forget about chesnuts roasting, one-horse open sleighs and Baby Jesus.

The carolers proceeded to march over to Sen. Mark Warner's (D-VA) office at Towers Crescent in Tysons Corner, where they met with Warner's Deputy State Director Ann Rust.

Nothing like politicizing Christmas by protesting near Santa's Village in Tysons Corner Center. There's a time and place for politics. And like the parents who take their kids out of school to hold signs they can't even read or understand...Santa's Village isn't one of those times or places. more ›
