An Imperial Stormtrooper commando broke into Santa’s Factory on the North Pole yesterday evening, killing an undetermined number of elves, arresting the owner and confiscating his sled. Joe Kwazansky, local spokesman for the Evil Galactic Empire in Los Angeles, appeared in a press conference this morning confirming the rumors of an Imperial takeover of Christmas’ celebrations…. Apparently, the arrest has occurred in connection with earlier reports on the manufacturing and stealth placement of Weapons of Mass Destruction:
Answering questions about the causes of this assault and Santa Claus’ detention, Mr. Kwazansky pointed out that Imperial Intelligence had undeniable proof of Santa’s production of WMDs at his factory located near the North Pole. "He is also a perv, you know," he added, "a guy who goes around his house clad in red velvet and has underaged boys assisting him all day long. Illegal sex? Forced labor? You gotta be kidding. We have the patent on forced labor too. Ask the wookies."
(…)
Commenting on the strike, UN’s North Pole representative Kalle Jugercømmandersson said that "we don’t understand this act of unprovoked agression. The North Pole has been weapons-free since 1959, when Timmy the Polar Bear was killed by a drunk seal using a 38." Then, he started sobbing, crying "and we are not little boys! We are little grown men!" out loud.
Lord Darth Vader was unavailable to comment at the time of this report.
Do click over to see the photo – that’s what I call firepower! Yes, our Dread Lord is very generous, but how many actual stormtroopers can he muster up for the Global War On Christmas™? No more than three, maybe four, tops. Not nearly enough to stop a raging mob of Santa worshippers hopped up on candycaine.
I have to say, I am a bit surprised that the Emperor and Darth Vader would choose to ally themselves with us, given our differing views on governance and foreign policy, but hey, you know what they say about not looking a gift bantha in the mouth. And it’s not like Vader and Palpatine are the only right-wing authoritarians to join us:
BUSH:…I’ve decided to come in and visit with you because you’re heading off for the holidays and so are we. And we wish you a happy holidays.
(…)
Listen, thank you all. Have a wonderful holiday season. Appreciate it.
Even his potential successors are defecting to our side! Soon the only Santanistas left standing in our way will be Mike Huckabee, Bill O’Reilly and the world’s fattest cat.
Welcome to the struggle, my brothers. With your might joined to our passion, victory is all but inevitable.
Happy Holidays!

Wars galore
hi Eli!
happy winter y’all!
Eli!
Hi, Kassie!
Ah what a holiday season wars, scandal, and general malfeasance.
Suzanne!
Happy Kwanzaa to you too, Eli! ;-)
Was that not what you asked Santa for?
Eli, I have been writing about teen pregnancy this week, and about sex ed. Wanna see?
Perhaps it’s overconfidence, but I actually find myself looking ahead to the War On Festivus.
i am gonna do a war on new years!
While Nero, fiddles around…? ;-)
Just wonderful. Thanks, Eli
Not quite what I was hoping for but ya takes what you can get. Maybe next year they will have the running man the home game (I’ll play Ben Richards).
I’ll double-check, but I think he might actually be on our team…
It’s probably a natural for the Wii Fit, or maybe one of those Dance Dance Revolution pads…
When Hitler was Fuhrer, there were evergreen trees in Germany.
Santa brings toys on Christmas.
Christmas trees are evergreen trees.
SANTA IS A FASCIST!!!!
Trees are fascist!
Has anyone noticed that Santa is an anagram of Satan? A coincidence? I think not.
Well, we know that trees pollute the air. Saint Ronnie told us so. Therefore, fascists.
Ever heard of the sworn enemies of the Santanistas? They’ve got a well-placed friend in Virginia — goes by the name of “North” — who is known to funnel them arms and money and such. I believe they’re called the Con-Trolls.
And there you have a winner action packed one person against a corrupt system brought down by a mussel bound hero type, a bunch of techno-nerds and the underground media.
Don’t tell Kirk. He’ll be crushed.
I was torn between using “Santa worshippers” or “Santaists”, but decided that the first one flowed better.
Planted in 1938…
Ironic that Santa would have an enemy named “North”.
I never pictured satan’s minions wearing elf costumes.
Poor Santa in the 19th century he was too thin, in the 20th he grew a beard and smoked a pipe now he is an outlaw.
How about, Santa-nistas? ;-)
As some of you are aware, I have objected to both the manner in which votes were tabulated in, as well as the announced results of, the recent We Fight Back contest. It was and is my position that Phil Ochs was the rightful winner and should be declared as such. To accomplish this, I decided to pursue a recount of the contest ballots and retained Mssrs. Boies and Olsen to take such legal action as was necessary to ensure a correct result.
Firedog Lake receives many, many hits daily. Our comments keep each other both informed and in good humor. Numerous people lurk but do not cooment. FDL has proven able to mobilize dozens, if not hundreds of committed activists upon short notice and with demonstrable results. Ultimately, however, FDL (and Late, Late Night in particular) retains a feeling of being a Small Circle of Friends.
After consulting with counsel and upon careful consideration, I have detremined that any further recount efforts would be inimical to the small circledness of this blog. The loss or diminishment of said small circledness can only have a detrimental impact on FDL’s future ability to influence legislation and elections. For this, I cannot be responsible. The future effectiveness of this netroots community is of greater import than my being proven correct.
Therefore, any and all recount efforts by me will cease immediately and I ask all those who have joined me in those efforts to end them, as well. For the greater good of the blog, I accept defeat in this battle and I Declare the War is Over. It’s over. It’s over. Suzanne is a uniter and I have the utmost confidenmce in her ability to heal the wounds which she has inflicted. I stand ready to assist her in any way I can.
Next year is another year and the music of Phil Ochs is timeless. I am confident that twelve months hence, when the last ballot is counted, the result will reflect Changes and Phil Ochs will be officially recognized as the greates protest singer of them all.
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with dedication to fighting back, and with committment to calling Dana Perrino “dumb as dogshit” every single time she opens her yap, I am

Already in the post, dude.
I want the government the hell out of what I think about religion. Period.
That is my own conviction, or not. None of the government’s business. Period.
I might be 10/x more fanatical than Huckabee, or I might be Catholic, or I might be Muslim, or I might be whatthefuckever.
None of the government’s business.
I might like a tree, I might think a tree is Pagan, I might think Xmas is commercial…
It is still, not the government’s business. Period.. Leave me alone!!
Santa moved his workshop to south America? Now I know how those elfs work such long hours.
Funny, I never pictured them any other way.
Fascists are fascists! Oh, wait. . . .
bfl
that is the prettiest white flag i’ve ever seen raised.
and dana p is dumb as dogshit, without a doubt.
Off topic but … (ahem) From Threat Level @ Wired
FBI Recorded 27 Million FISA ‘Sessions’ in 2006
That’s 27 MILLION sessions
If we ban beards and pipes, only outlaws will have beards and pipes.
Ding!
I have this theory, based on removing the beard and hat from a Santa Claus pez dispenser, that Santa and Mr. Clean are, in fact, one and the same person.
Obviously, he spends a lot of time in the Caribbean during the offseason, tanning and working out.
Ex..cuse..me….!!!
BFL, ya plagarized Gore’s speech…
Damnit, another post by Eli. Will it never end?
Gawd. You have been thinking about this really hard.
And I will NEVER stop saying it. Ever. Not ’til my last breath of air and my last drop of blood.
“Welcome to the struggle, my brothers. With your might joined to our passion, victory is all but inevitable.”
How about brothers and sisters?
Or Santana.
Does Santa’s sack of toys get x-rayd when he crosses into the US on his sleigh?
I have but one life to give for my song?
Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, George Bush, Mitt Romney…
Is there something I should know?
I always felt a connection with Biden but could never put my finger on it.
Cassie, they do make him take off his boots and belt, go through a metal detector, and customs quarantines the raindeer for 14 days before they are allowed entry.
He doth protest (song) too much.
Eli,
That is so sad. I knew Timmy the polar bear. The drunk seal regretted it for the rest of his short life.
And all eight reindeer have to be put down. God only knows what kind of weaponizable bacteria they’re carrying around.
hair plugs or teeth?
Santa philosopher, revolutionary, and biker outlaw. all that and presents a person to be admired.
Nice… ES! He’s still a guitar virtuoso… 8-)
And they have to have their shots.
It clearly upset the elf spokesman as well, bringing on his little (of course) meltdown.
“We are not little boys! We are little grown men!”
Long winded. :P
santa needs to apply 18 months in advance for an EPA waiver for raindeer droppings or else blitzen is wearing an astronaut diaper.
A drunk SEAL? That wouldn’t have been Jesse Ventura, would it?
what if santa drops his passport?
plagarism
They can blame it on the tundra, it tends to stunt growth…
The FAA has declared rudolph’s nose to violate aircraft lighting regulations and his red glowing nose is required to be upgraded to a white strobe light.
I don’t remember if he even had a name. From the look of the rug he now is, though, he probably wasn’t related to Jesse.
That too.
poor rudolf!
How was your test today?
Well if he is attached to the starboard side of the sleigh along with an anti-rudolf green nose, all Santa needs is a strobe and landing lights.
I think i got all A’s, but we’ll see in a week. Spanish is the one that I always have trouble with.
I have gone to the NORAD site for the last few years and watched as Santa’s sleigh made it’s trip around the world. At no point did it indicate that he was stopped at any border, held for any inspections of what he was attempting to transport across international boundaries, or even if the reindeer were checked for hoof and mouth disease. This is an obvious and dangerous breach to our national security. I call on my fellow Americans to raise their voices to let our government know we are scared shitless and want daddy to keep us safe, right now! /s
Drops his passport? No Fly List, Cassie!
Back on topic, though, this is a great post. I mean, they’re still at tis bullshit? Did O’Reiley decalre victory in the war on xmas? I thought i saw that somewhere – probably here. And all his minions are sooooo happy. My local paper had an LTE from some lady who was just thrilled as can be that people are beginning to say “Merry Christmas” again. Don’t know when they stopped, exactly. But, hey, it’s
Christmasthe Holidays and the lady’s happy. So good for her.OH you southerns.
This probably explains how we came by our new allies in the GWOC™…
Wow, Zuma is going to be charged for bribery…? That’s certainly puts a wrinkle in the ANC…
We must fight Santa over there, so we don’t have to fight him here.
There is prolly lead on the toys.
Well, there was that Steve King bill in the House, the one officially declaring the importance of Christmas – the one that passed with, like, ten No votes.
It’s the Wrapping Paper Strategy.
Has anyone ever suggested that, perhaps, maybe Christmas was once a PAGAN fucking holiday?
Santa alias Cris Cringle part of a conspiracy? You be the judge.
maybe the terrorist plot this year is to infect us with some biohazard thingie delivered via paper cuts from wrapping paper.
Yeah, but it’s all Jesus now. And you know what they say about possession being 9/10ths of the law…
If there is even a 1% chance that Santa is coming down the chimney tonight, we must blow up the chimney.
Hey marymc! Sent you a FB message the other night, you get it?
Part of his strategy he leaves high sulfur coal in your stocking.
I just read it. Thanks.
All the gadget freaks get all excited about the mysterious new electronic device they receive: the eBola.
This is weird. ex-Italian President Francesco Cossiga is not a nutcase.
True. Who is/was that guy with blond hair and the sally Jesse Raphael glasses? Think he was on FOX. Gibson? Whatever happened to him? He wrote on book on this last year.
The Five To The Noggin guy? Yeah, I think that’s John Gibson.
I gotta run but I have aquestion. Think I’ve asked here but i need some more input. I’ve seen it both ways…. Is the reindeer’s name Donner or Donder?
Well if he get together with the Japanese government official, that says UFO’s are real we might get to the bottom of all this.
Donner
Twas the night before Christmas
That’s only 35 calls a day per terrorist…of course that assumes that all the warrants were issued from the beginning of the year, which is unlikely. Some of the late warrants might only have been monitoring calls in October, November or December. If there were a normal distribution of warrant issuance based on June 1 it would indicate that the the calls typically covered per day are well over 60.
That suggests that the terrorists are making about six calls an hour, ten hours a day! Busy little guys these are.
Or maybe the FBI had “blanket warrants” as you suggest. Or no warrants at all?
Yes.
Per Wiki:
Yeah, I did some quick googling. “Donner” and “Blitzen” are German for thunder and lightning. “Donder” and “Blixsem” are Dutch.
In my copy of The Night Before Christmas the name is Donder. But in all the Christmas songs it is Donner.
Ok. i gotta go.
Suzzane, you know this Donner/Donder thing? Could you count the votes an’ get back to me?
Actually that’s Kris Kringle…as in KK. And his followers are members of his Klub! Or is it a Kult. Think about it!
Found at hotzone.com?
nope
Time to donn my cap and settle my brains.
Gute Nacht!
Are you suggesting that the FBI modified that famous line from the “treasure of the Serra Madria” warrants, we don’t need no stinking warrants.
g’nite peterr
Well I guess I got a little P.C. on the name.
C’mon. You know I trust uyou. Besides, it’d be a good way for you to start healing the wounds you’ve inflicted.
Nite. I’m gonna go too.
Soon.
I really like that Beerfart guy.
nope – besides, you deserved those stiletto boots marks on your uh tushkie
we needn’t worry – doesn’t the strategic air command track Santa?
OC, i thought it was NORAD.
It’s the Space Command now.
Well, I appreciate the info on Donner & Donder. I’ll go with “Donder” and just let anybody try to correct me ‘cuz now I can show ‘em how smart I am.
I like you, too, MaryMcM.
Gen. Kevin P. Chilton commander over the 14th and 20th Air Forces
Arriving home late from an office with a broken modem, so EPU’ed from Hugh’s list posting. I ask again:
Hugh’s list is hugh, in the slang sense as well as the physical sense.
How about sending a copy rolled up like a diploma sent to every member of the SJC for as a holiday gift?
Or, the many FDL BayBlueStaters could bear it unfurled to the local offices of the New England Senators or along the length of the Freedom Trail in Boston which wends it way past American Revolutionary shrines…
However.
It may be the midnight hour or the end of the day or the prospect of digging the car out again in the SnowyWhiteBlueState, but I don’t get the logic of the order of the presentation. It is seemingly not in order of date or importance, as Reed (Walter) precedes Rove (unindicted felon), or federal department, or nefariousness. If a loyal pup is not getting it, imagine the difficulty attention deficient MSM member might have. So help me here.
My biggest problem with “Donner” is that it sort of plants the idea that he might eat the other reindeer if things go badly.
You’re right.

And Cheney had asked for a new waterboard this Christmas, the old one is worn out. How will he ever get one now?
Here is an image confirming all of our fears. A Mass Demonstration for Wage Increases and Better Quality Cookies and Milk.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I…..Santas.jpg
Heh, the Donner Party…
I reckon they’re in the order in which Hugh thought of them, and/or people tipped him off to more.
When Cheney realizes Santa doesn’t consume oil, I expect full blown war on Christmas. After all Santa could prove almost as impossible to catch as Osama.
It’s NORAD, I have to go get the URL soon so that the kiddos can watch the fat man’s progress, and I can get them into the bed at a decent hour. The big kid is already making me nutty with the “Christmas is never going to come!” whine.
And more respectful working conditions.
Remember, ladies – Santa is not your plaything!
But he is coal friendly.
But only if you’r naughty!
Then it’s all gonna be over before he knows it.
How could they be organized chronologically? Without full investigations on many scandals, we may never know firm dates.
Or before nshe knows it.
Santa needs to loosen up a bit.
Heh, the Donner Party…
They’re the ones who ate the Blitzen party, right?
And so with regard to the V.P. is he naughty or nice?
That time of the hour. My last work day before Xmas tomorrow. got some serious motions to go through tomorrow.
venison
I’ll vouch for that… ;-)
Nite everybody.
And you win, Suzanne. But wait’ll next year.
That’s what I keep telling him. But when you’re 6 and 3/4’s and your mom tells you that stuff it goes in one ear and out the other.
(laughing) g’nite bfl
Good God man, you have to ask?!?!
Mine has already driven me batty. Tonight we watched him try to explain without lying exactly what he was doing in mommy’s suitcase where all the unwrapped presents are (thanks, TSA). Not his most believable performance to date.
On their way to Cali…
He’s a prick but I don’t know if Santa has a category for that.
Well if all else fails use the Gonzales defense, you can recall, don’t remember, and will get back to you later on that.
How is Trex? Anybody hear from him?
It has been my personal experience that men have just as much of a thing for women in uniform.
Happy winter solstice and Eid Mobarak!

I love a rhetorical question.
My husband does like that little French maid outfit.
Question:
Do you want a podcast of Hugh’s segment on 1480 Progressive Radio if is a go?
If so, I will contact Jeff & Billi(the IT guy) and see if they will create a file.
Minor edit…
It’s little known class three: naughty, nice, prick.
I’d reply to that but it get to close to a TMI situation.
He must have very fine legs.
TRex is at the treehouse
707! They don’t realize that their faces show exactly what’s running through their minds.
The big kid knows there’s stuff in the attic and it is killing him, because he can’t get up there on his own. Everything is wrapped, but the little guy is still a bit vague on the whole process, so nothing is going under the tree for a bit longer.
He is peachy as always. You can find him over here

French maid outfits??
Thanks I can’t imagine how that happen.
ya gotta be fast to keep up around here, steve-ar.
Oh… forgot that tomorrow 12/21 is National Orgasm Day …
Thank you!
my grandparents gave me chanukah gifts when they came to visit and they sent Christmas gifts also. But everything is still in the boxes.
Great to hear about your grades, yea. How is Aunt Betsy, Ms. Tex?
Question:
Do you want a podcast of Hugh’s segment on 1480 Progressive Radio if is a go?
If so, I will contact Jeff & Billi(the IT guy) and see if they will create a file.
Absolutely, Katymine! If they’ll let me, I’ll post it on my blog too. HUGH!
for real????
not gonna touch that one katy – i’ll just end up in trouble (laughing)
Come to think of it, Osama looks like a young thin Santa.
Saint Nicolaus is a patron saint of a Palestinian village near Bethlehem. Clearly a sanctioned agent of the PLO!
And what’s this pagan god amongst his reindeer? Cupid! Even more odd is his use of a fertility cult reindeer…Vixen!
katy, add me to the hell yes list please
Link?
Funny you should say that. When we first got married Ron was making a promo postcard for his imaging business. He had one of those ww1 vertical photos of a large group of soldiers. One of the soldiers is seated with his legs crossed. Ron cloned in his own legs while wearing a skirt. He had gone down to a costume store and rented a skirt, tights, pink pumps and a hat. I came home from the grocery story and Ron was sitting on the sofa in drag. Later I took his photo and the rest is history.
We compliment each other well.
I see a resemblence to Julia Roberts, (no offense!) Wide brow, eyes, mouth…
Thanks for the explanation, and it’s a good one, because that means the order is that of the cooperative effort.
Awesome! And I guess I was kinda primed to read “promo postcard” as something slightly different…
Wow, Charlaine Gault-Hunter gave an excellent update on the Zuma situation, I wish she was back stateside working for the NewsHour again…
Some FYI:
Both male and female reindeer have antlers, but males drop theirs in the fall. This means that every single one of Santa’s reindeer are actually girls. Which makes sense, becuase only females could drag a fat old man in a velvet suit around the world in one night and not get lost.
It was on Stephanie Miller this morning …… actually it is… Global Orgasm Day
But thank GOD (the only true Christian One) that we have firm and stolid defenders of the exclusive right of Americans to only worship Christmas as these Crusader Warriors on the NY Subways!

Of course, you are right. The point is the ceaseless flow and overall accumulation. Still, I wish that we could put them in some form that could break into easy-to-carry indictable and impeachable units.
Heh heh heh… Excellent.
Well good night to you all, thanks for the wonderful conversation.
Love it! Is hubby comming with you when you make it down this way?
A database or spreadsheet with some sortable fields like dates, general scandal type, principals & departments involved, would probably do the trick.
I could design something like that pretty easily, but I wouldn’t want to be the one to do the data entry…
Oh Marymccurnin,
This is priceless! Thanks for sharing.

How are you? This was fun tonight, thanks Eli!
Like I said – weird…
Ooo, nice!
Well, if we’re pimping…
OT: Weirder and weirder. Peggy Noonan (author of “A Heart, a Cross, and a Flag: America Today”) is now sniping at Mike Huckabee for putting a subliminal cross in his Christmas ad: http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/pnoonan/
My pleasure!
Wow, you two!
I feel so small…
We accept her, one of us, one of us…
Staggeringly beautiful. I am green and I don’t mean in the environmental sense.
I’m fine, and have almost got Christmas shopping done (what little there is to do). It doesn’t seem very Christmasy here, too warm (east of Columbus).
I forgot to tell you this a while back – your cloud photos are so awesome. You deal very well with light/shadow interplays, but the cloud photos have a presence beyond real. My cloud photos are just photos, but yours have a tremendous sense of natural architecture. You’d love Alaska!
What kind of camera? Paper?
ET… tonight was family dinner night where the adult kids come over for a real mean with Mom…. found Copper River Salmon at Costco and it was a big hit with everyone.
Hey, your New Orleans stuff is pretty awesome too – I could never pull off anything like that.
yum!
OT – I don’t usually pimp but I have some rare Santa footage on my blog that certainly made my Christmas a little bit merrier…
Thanks, ET! It’s my dad’s fault, really. When I was a kid, I wanted to take cloud pictures, and he scoffed. So now I take cloud pictures as a form of rebellion. My high school photo teacher is similarly responsible for my tendency to take pictures of trashcans…
Also, I process the clouds pretty heavily, and in most cases I was just plain lucky.
We still have some snow on the ground from last Sunday — what a day that was! I’m finished shopping and so happy to find a Utrecht art store to buy watercolor paints for my old, old Dad. We leave on Saturday for Chadds Ford, PA for family. Dreading the drive, but can’t wait to be there.

I think some people are whoring rather than pimping, if I understand the terminology.
Can I see your cloud pictures anywhere? My sister-in-law is Lisa Tyson Ennis and she has some wonderful photos like you describe.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Excellent.
You’ve seen this one, right?
Depends on where you wear your feather.
blog whoring when it is your own
blog pimping when it is for a site that is not yours
Are you in Los Osos? I used to live there.
Good evening dear friends!
hey tex – feeling better tonight?
that’s me. “I regard it as sharing,” as a hooker I was interviewing for radio once told me. to be a real pimp or whore you’ve gotta be making money.
I laughed till I cried, MaryMac. I also made all of the students in my Studio for Singers classes watch it so they know what’s in store for them.
Very funny! Is it really like that in that business?
Much better Suzanne. Thanks for asking. Went to the pool for an hour and worked from home.
I stand corrected. Alls I know is, prostitution is involved :-)
Selective collection here, not-so-selective collection here.

I used to live on Nipomo. It was in the late 80’s. I loved it there. I went to Cuesta and learned to paint. Still have friends there.
I have a nikon 5400. Wish I had a better camera. My stupid printer is broken, too. I would love a D70.
Well, I’d sell you my old one, but I already sold it to spork_incident. Good camera, though.
I haven’t sold my D200 yet, but it’d be a lot pricier. (And it’s an amazing camera; just not as amazing as the D300)
Nice I am in Baywood, myself and Blackjack an amazing god who seldom complains and is so appreciative. I try to help homeless and promote affordable housing. Rolling big rocks uphill. Helped a few get in but we are losing housing much faster than it can be created. It is getting more expensive as bigger percentage of income is going to housing cost. The subprime doesn’t help as rents have been rising. Still happy to have a roof and a friend has a backyard for my pup so we walk and visit and he rides in wagon on errand. Hope you like where you moved.
and lest we forget – plagarism
“Santafascism”…you are so correct, Eli! Jees. Great post.
