Terrorists Out To Kill Santa?

NORAD seems to think so.
     For the first time ever NORAD will fly F-18 fighetr jets alongside Santa's sleigh.

(22.3 million people visited NORAD's Santa site last year)


GIVE ME A BREAK!
Call me old fashion but somehow I don't equate Santa being out on a military mission when he delivers free toys. Hell even in 1914 during WW I the 'Red Baron' didn't fly after Germans and the British declared a truce for one day on some of their war fronts..."At the first light of dawn on Christmas Day, some German soldiers emerged from their trenches and approached the Allied lines across no-man's-land, calling out "Merry Christmas" in their enemies' native tongues. At first, the Allied soldiers feared it was a trick, but seeing the Germans unarmed they climbed out of their trenches and shook hands with the enemy soldiers. The men exchanged presents of cigarettes and plum puddings and sang carols and songs."The Christmas Truce: A general overview

I think it stinks when we start indoctrinating little kids in their youth forward to fear not even Santa can be safe without government protection. How extraordinary that these kids will grow up thinking the safety of their lives depends on being surrounded by federal protectors everywhere they go day and night.

Kids growing up to day will experience all kinds of federal oversight at the air and cruise ship ports when they travel with mom and dad. Take in hours of TV viewing where SWAT teams are featured in the news and entertainment programs. In big cities like New York they will see cops armed with automatic rifles on the streets around Times Square.

(9) Why does Santa only come once a year because (a) he doesn't give a hoot the rest of the time or (b) he has to satisfy his IRS deductions before the end of the year?

(10) Why did Santa chose this profession, is it because nobody would hire him because of his (a) morbid obesity, (b) because he smokes a pipe, (c) has no college background. (d) too old for the job, (e) his work record indicates he's willing to work only a few weeks out of the year at the mall, (f) has no credit history or (g) seems to be flakey because he's too damn jolly!WHAT A WAY TO GROW UP!
