And of course here I am, waiting on the Ministry of Internet to give me permission to log off and do some work around the house. Poor Santa. He could starve to death before the Ministry of Food and the Minister of Exercise (Richard Simmons) gets back to him.

Have you consulted your schedule for today, defined for you by the government? You better stick to it, or the Ministry of Schedules will have your hide. ;)

People don't realize that while all this sounds ridiculous, that is exactly where government intrusion in one's private life is leading. That is true communism, when the government has total control of all of us, for our own good, of course, and we don't and won't be allowed to make any individual decisions, because that may not fit in within the great government plan.
