Santa Gets Cleared For Christmas Flight

[Tripper11]

Can you believe this was actually reported on my local am news radio station??? I guess it was the wording (read propagand'ish) way it was written.

"Kris Kringle, d.b.a. Santa Claus, got the green light today from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to engage in air travel to various points throughout the United States the night of Dec. 24-25.

An order granting a flight certificate and signed by U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta said that Santa Claus was Aexceptionally fit, joyfully willing and uniquely able to engage in the interstate air transportation for which he has requested a certificate.” The Secretary added that Santa has a 100 percent on-time arrival record, having never failed to deliver all of his toys by Christmas morning."

...snip...here's the kicker for me,

..."Santa also says that he has a sky marshal of sorts aboard. He has asked his lead reindeer, Rudolph, to stay especially alert, especially for the presence of nearby aircraft."

2. Stupid

I don't know which is the most stupid, the stupid DOT clearance for Santa to fly or the stupid Presidential pardon of the Thanksgiving turkey. Fuck it, they're both inane.

3. Some local TV stations do it (the "Santa" thing), as well.

I totally agree, INANE!!!!

And if I were Prez, I would categorically stop that tacky, STUPID pardon the turkey thing. What was its supposed CRIME, anyway???
