Away in manger, Jesus was...homeless?

From The Federalist Patriot 05-01 Chronicle:
"In the last [Bush] budget, we cut housing again, and that was Jesus' dilemma. In Bethlehem, his family ended up homeless. Rome was a wealthy country that left Jesus and Mary and Joseph, in a sense, homeless. He was born an at-risk baby. ... Today we are celebrating the wealthy and war, not the poor and peace." --"Reverend" Je$$e Jack$on

Ummm, Jesus was homeless? Wasn't it more a case of Mary and Joseph failing to call ahead for hotel reservations? Jesus was an at-risk baby, because a power greedy ruler was threatened by him and wanted him dead, but not because Rome cut housing. I mean really, how can the son of a carpenter during the period of Roman rule ever really be homeless.

The Reverand Jesse Jackson, buffoon.

Right. The probable reason that there wasn't "room at the inn" was because everyone was there for the census. So the reason Jesus was "homeless" was because of taxes!
