Santa’s a Red.

Giving out stuff.
Red suit.
Nordic heritage.
Eco crunchy vehicle.
Beard, like Marx.

This year I tied up some razor wire, lowered it halfway down the chimney, and then pulled the slip knot causing the stuff to bloom. That’ll get that commie bastard!

Do you think Obama can pull this off, or do you foresee a career about as glamorous as the main character in “The Onion Field?”

By “this” you mean escaping the Blago imbroglio? I wouldn’t get your hopes up. The media wants to bear Obama’s children, not investigate him. And Obama is smart enough to keep several layers of insulation between himself and the sleaziest of the Illinois sewer. I suspect Rahm Emmanuel will get the ejector seat treatment from the Unicorn Express, and that will be the end of it.

OSHA inspections...

Ha! I knew this isn't real. OSHA has no authority over the North Pole.

...said Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin). "I'm sorry for your situation, but it is difficult to justify giving trillions of US taxpayer dollars to a private company that is outmoded, headquartered offshore, and, frankly, imaginary."

I bet I know who's getting a petrified reindeer turd in his stocking for Christmas.

Heh.

But seriously, folks...

“Santa Claus broke! Thank God! he thrives, and he thrives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.”
