pssst, Megyn - Santa is NOT real....

I’ll be fine if no one else jumps on board the penguin train and Santa remains a white man. But if you’re seriously emphatic that he is white and must remain white, there’s a good chance that your view of the rest of the world is just as limited and unimaginative. I mean, we are talking about a magical man who slides down your chimney every Christmas Eve. Just so we’re clear.

Pupils' Christmas 'ruined' by vicar's Santa Claus origins story
Parents upset after Wiltshire vicar tells primary schoolchildren that Father Christmas is based on legend of Saint Nicholas

"A vicar has caused a festive furore after accidentally breaking the news to a group of primary school pupils that Father Christmas doesn't really exist.

Parents at Charter primary school in the Wiltshire market town of Chippenham were left fielding some very awkward questions after Canon Simon Tatton-Brown explained how Santa was based on the legend of Saint Nicholas.

Some parents threatened to pull their children out of a Christmas concert at his church, St Andrew's, in protest, arguing that they would not barge into one of his services and announce that the story of Jesus was a fiction.

Tatton-Brown's slip came as he delivered his festive address to pupils. A "technical issue" meant he had to work without notes and he told them that many believed the figure of Father Christmas was based on Saint Nicholas, a fourth-century saint renowned for his secret gift-giving."

This creation started out as Roger Ailes perverted fascination for private use, and then he hit upon the idea of using his virtual concubine to read the news with the looks of the mean cheerleader at school but the jawline and pugnacious masculinity of delivery along the lines of Hannity.

Anne Coulter was an early beta prototype and admittedly was a complete failure at her most important job--getting "Little Roger" to wake up.
