Dear Santa Supporters

I know you've been eager for the Man in Red to endorse your particular candidate.

He's kind of preoccupied, what with Christmas coming and all.

However, he asked me to tell you boys and girls that he has not made up his mind. He wants to see the debates and let things shake out some more. And also he's waiting to see if Uncle Joe is going to jump in.

Nevertheless, he said he is seriously thinking in terms of charity and the Spirit of Christmas, and giving his endorsement to Gov. Chaffee because the governor is being neglected and needs some love.

He added that most of us on DU are going to get lumps of coal in our stockings this year, because we've all been so obnoxious and ornery.

When all through DU,
Many members were stirring
Shit, that's nothing new,
The snarking was posted in forums with care
In hopes a big flame war soon would be there.

I hear the Headless Horseman is galloping a"head" for Hillary, while Linus awaits for the American people to give him the Great Pumpkin we've always wanted.

Bernie is going in his red scare costume, and Hillary is going as a progressive.

I keep sending the lumps coal back to the North Pole with letters saying "YOU DON'T EXIST!" wrapped round them.

Sometimes the letters say: "END ELF SLAVE LABOUR!" or "CRUELTY TO REINDEER MUST END!" or something.




Hmmmm.




Maybe I take things too far sometimes.

Santa Claus is looking to make a career move. At least, Santa Claus, a man living in North Pole, Alaska, is.

That Santa Claus, who also sports his more famous namesake's iconic white beard, is hoping to be elected to a seat on the North Pole city council, reported the Newsminer, a newspaper in Fairbanks, Alaska. North Pole is a city of roughly 2,200 people and is about 580 kilometres north of Anchorage.

Claus is "the only man legally named Santa Claus ever to live in North Pole, Alaska," he claims on his Facebook page. His driver's licence shows his name as Santa Claus, according to the Newsminer.

The city he lives in evokes the spirit of Christmas year-round, according to the North Pole Chamber of Commerce. The streets are decorated in holiday garb every month of the year.

If that's not enough, the light posts look like candy canes and streets have festive names like Snowman Lane and St. Nicholas Drive
