A Few Modest Suggestions

 All things in heaven and in earth have been created for Barack Obama

As we enter the new year and King Obama’s inauguration gets closer I thought it was time that I gave my readers a few suggestions on what I think might be done to make the United Kingdom of America a better place to live.

For make no mistake.  The people have spoken. Facism.  Dictatorship. Rule by Strong men.  Whatever you want to call it.  Americans want it.  This myth that Americans like small, limited government is just that.  A myth. Americans like things big. And we have voted for the biggest, most intrusive government the world has ever known.  As to how we will pay for this, hell, kick it down the road.

And so, in the spirit of unlimited, big government, here are a few modest proposals:

  • Every American 14 years and older will owe the government five days of manual labor on Federal lands.  Yes, I realize that the 13th amendment prohibited  involuntary servitude.  But this is for President Obama.  And you do want to help your President, don’t you?  Or are you racist?  Naturally I don’t expect every American to be physically able to do manual labor for five days.  Those who are unable to labor for Obama can fulfill this obligation by delivering “four fat fowl” to the IRS office closest to you.
  • All citizens of the United Kingdom of America who do not hold office (vassals) have certain duties beyond manual labor that they will have to give to President Obama.  These include fealty as well as aid and counsel (auxilium et concilium).  In return President Obama will provide protection and maintenance to his vassals.  How glorious and compassionate is President Obama to do this!  Just think: No one ever will have to go hungry or homeless again.  In return for manual labor, fealty, aid and counsel our President will give us free room and board.  He will become the benevolent father figure the framers of the Constitution always envisioned.
  • The right of Droit du Seigneur shall once again become custom in the United Kingdom of America.  Why?  For charity’s sake.  It will bind us vassals with our noblemen who hold office.  And besides, what loyal and right-thinking American wouldn’t want to share his bride with President Obama?

On that note I’d like to close these few modest suggestions with a prayer:

Our Obama Who Art In Washington

Hallowed be Thy Name

Thy Kingdom Come

Thy Will Be Done in America As It Is In The Rest of The World.

Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread (Where’s My Free Stuff?)

And Forgive Us Our Non-Fealty

As We Forgive Our Elected Rulers

And Lead Us Not Into Selfish Thoughts

But Deliver us from the Evil of Capitalism

Amen

School Doesn’t have Mass Shooting; Networks Converge on Scene of Tragedy

No shooting? No publicity!

A high school in America stunned the world today by not having a mass shooting.

As soon as reports filtered in that a man, possibly white, possibly a socially awkward loner, and possible disgruntled over high taxes and the healthcare reform law, was seen in the hallways of the school national and international networks interrupted their regular programming to cover the soon-to-be tragedy as it unfolded.

SWAT teams from four different states converged on the unfortunate school.  They soon located the potential homicidal maniac by his locker where it appeared he was grabbing his lunch.  Though it might have been an Uzi.

Using concussion grenades to stun the student, they converged on him and soon had him in handcuffs. Forming a protective shield around him to prevent enraged teachers from  possibly killing him they dragged the student/homicidal maniac out the front door where a phalanx of reporters waited, hoping to make some sense of the tragedy.

“Why do you want to kill people” asked one reporter.

Following that initial question the lowlife scumbag student/mass murderer was subjected to a steady stream of questions.

 “Are you taking any medication for your schizophrenia?”

“Are you doing this because you think your taxes are too high?”

“Are you a teabagger?”

“How long have you been a gun nut?”

“Why do you hate brown people?”

Perhaps fearing that he was concealing more weapons beneath his armor* and not wanting to take any chances the brave SWAT team pumped round after round of bullets into him until they were sure he was dead.

Meanwhile frightened students were led out a back exit to be reunited with their anxious parents.

Members of the media, unflinching in their duty surrounded the students and their parents to ask them what they were feeling.

“Your children are still alive.  How will you cope with the grief?”

“If there had been a shooting and your son died, would you feel sad?”

“Do you and your children hate brown people also?”

These were some of the probing questions asked by the future Pulitzer winners.

However, eventually disappointed that no students or their parents had broken into tears they rushed back to the front of the high school to photograph the dead body of the maniac.

Police brought in a robotic arm, stripping the body and probing its orifices to make sure no weapons were still on it.  Once they were able to confirm that the body of the homicidal maniac was unarmed it was set on fire.  After the fire had gone out a shallow pit was dug, filled with quicklime and the body dumped into it.

The principal of the high school has announced that classes will be cancelled for the next month, allowing survivors of the rampage to attend grief counseling, sensitivity and social justice classes.

“At a time like this, feelings are more important than math and science” he said.

* Initial reports that the gun-crazed, mentally ill homicidal maniac was wearing body armor appear to be incorrect.  He was in fact wearing a J.Crew slub jersey polo with porter blue stripe and Dickie slacks for J.Crew in urban slim fit.

Authorities cite the clothing as further evidence that the student was intent on mass murder and harbored a deep hatred for brown people.

Disney Buys Zapruder Film

 The Return of the Skull Fragments!

In what promises to be groundbreaking in the realm of entertainment, the Walt Disney Company has announced that it has bought all rights to the famous “Zapruder Film” of the JFK assassination.

“We were looking for a new property” said Chairman Bob Iger.  “Time was of the essence and we got tired of waiting around for someone to assassinate a Bush.  Any one.  Doesn’t matter.”

Hoping to emulate the success of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films, Iger announced that the Zapruder film will be re-lensed in its entirety and made into a trilogy.

“Everything will be the same” he said.  “Except for everything that we will change.”

When pressed for details Iger told reporters

Well obviously I can’t tell you everything but for instance Lee Harvey Oswald will be an Orc, Jacqueline Kennedy will be Elven, John Connally will be a hobbit and President Kennedy will be human.  But other than that very few details have been changed.  Except the assassination takes place in Middle Earth.  And there are giant talking trees.  And there’s a wizard played by whatever old English actor is cheapest.  He tries to stop the assassination but has to battle a dragon who we hope will be played by John C. Reilly.  But other than that not much has changed.  We’ll be filming in New Zealand of course.  Prettier scenery than Dallas.  But other than that everything is as the historical assassination was.  Oh, I almost forgot.  There’s a ring of power that Kennedy was trying to bring to Mount Doom.  Other than that everything is – oh and before I forget John Rhys-Davies is in the movie.  No he doesn’t play a dwarf.  We just bought the rights to the “Sliders” TV show and it’s a tie-in.

Iger also announced that principal lensing will begin in March and gave the titles to the three installments to their new Zapruder film.  The first will be called “The Fellowship of the Bubbletop Convertible.”  The second will be “The Two Bullets” and the third will be called “The Return of the Skull Fragments.”

We’re hoping to get Peter Jackson himself to direct.  But if he’s unavailable Ben Affleck said he’d do it.  But we have to add Matt Damon to the cast and put in an anti-fracking subplot.  But that’s not a deal-killer because the Disney Corporation prides itself on being green.

The trilogy will be lensed with high-definition wide angle cameras.

The original Zapruder film was very grainy, unfocused and the camera bounced around alot.  It was like watching “Battle Los Angeles.”  The new film will have the high production values one normally associates with Disney.  Except for Walt’s private porn stash of course.  That was filmed using Super 8 handheld cameras. With an anti-fracking subplot.  Because Walt always prided himself on being green.

If the Zapruder trilogy is successful Disney hopes to follow up with a new film about the United 93 flight that crashed outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Everything is as it was on the actual day of 9/11.  Except the hijackers work for an oil company and the plane is brought down by a gas cloud caused by fracking.  Because Disney prides itself on being green.

The first film in the Zapruder trilogy is expected to be released in the summer of 2014.

Cliff Diving Competition Excites the Masses

 I regret nothing!

Chris Berman:  Hello I’m Chris Berman and I’m joined by Suzy Kolber as we bring to you today the best in cliff diving.

Suzy Kolber:  Thank you Chris.  And what an exciting competition we have for our viewers today as our two contenders Harry Reid and John Boehner vie for the title of Cliff Diving Champion of the World.

Chris Berman:  May I kiss you?

Suzy Kolber:  No.

Chris Berman:  Bitch.  Anyway onto our first contestant.

Suzy Kolber:  Yes Chris.  John Boehner is trying to unseat the champion Harry Reid.

Chris Berman:  And I hear there is tension between the two.

Suzy Kolber:  That there is.  We have obtained this video of the two of them in the dressing room:

[Cut to tape]

Harry Reid:  I like cliff diving.  America likes it.

John BoehnerF*ck you!

Harry Reid:  What?

John Boehner:  F*ck you Harry!

[End tape]

Chris Berman:  Wow.  Lots of tension there.  And here come John now.  He steps up to the edge of the cliff.

Suzy Kolber:  And as is his trademark, Boehner bursts into tears.

Chris Berman:  What a showman he is. And here’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Boehner is going over the cliff!

[Boehner jumps off cliff and crashes on the rocks below]

Suzy Kolber:  Oh. Too bad.  He landed on top of the shoals of unfunded liabilities. That has got to hurt.

Chris Berman:  That’s going to cost him.  The judges won’t like that one bit.

Suzy Kolber Not to mention he might lose valuable support.

Chris Berman:  But you have to admire Boehner.  He’s a trooper.  Look at him down there, bleeding on the rocks.  Yet he still has time to cry for his base.

Suzy Kolber:  And now it’s onto the acknowledged champion, Harry Reid.

Chris Berman:  Suzy as you know Harry has has some embarrassments this year when his sponsors backed out. 

Suzy Kolber:  That’s right Chris. For awhile it looked like he might not have the funding to participate today.  He had to harangue his rich friends to pay some more until he finally got the money.

Chris Berman:  I understand that he’s talking to the Chinese about funding.

Suzy Kolber:  Well good luck on that.  The Chinese still haven’t gotten their money back from the last time Reid borrowed from them.

Chris Berman:  And he’s about to jump!   Wait.  He’s motioning something.

Suzy Kolber:  I believe he’s saying he doesn’t have to jump.  That Boehner jumped first.

Chris Berman:  And that makes Reid the winner yet again!

Suzy Kolber:  That’s why he’s the master!

Chris Berman:  Well that about wraps it up for us from the Cliff Diving championships.  Up next on ESPN:  Poker!   May I kiss you Suzy?

Suzy Kolber:  Go to hell!

From Ye Olde New Yorke Times: Demand a Plan to End Musket Violence in the Colonies

 Put a stop to gun violence!

Dateline April 19, 1775.  Ye Olde New Yorke Times

We here at Ye Old New Yorke Times have just received word of a gun-inspired massacre of innocents in the colony of Massachusetts Bay.

How long must we be held hostage to Musket violence?  We here at Ye Olde New Yorke Times used to content ourselves with the position that it was time to register all Muskets.  That it was time to tax bullets.

But now we must change our position.  The brave Regulars, the brave King’s Troops were needlessly cut down by a gang of wild musket owners.

And for what? All the troops wanted to do was check on a possible stash of non registered muskets held by non government forces.

Is there any reason for citizens to own muskets?  We here at Ye Olde New Yorke Times say no!  None whatsoever.

Lexington and Concord.

We’ll say it again.

Lexington and Concord.

How many more? How many more atrocities will the law-abiding, loyal citizens of the crown have to suffer?

How many more colleges? How many more classrooms? How many more street corners?

How many more?

Enough!

Demand a plan!

Right now!

As mothers.  As fathers.  As friends. As husbands.  As wives.   As human beings.  As British subjects.  For the children.  Demand a plan!

No more lists of names of British soldiers killed by Colonials!

Now is the time to act before we all lose someone we love to musket violence.

No more lists!

It’s time.  We can do better than this.

It’s time.

It’s time for our leaders in London to act.

Demand a plan.  Right now.  Enough.

Take back our colonies!   End musket violence!

Remove muskets from private citizens!

Only the Crown and officially sanctioned Crown agents should be armed!

Demand a plan.  Now!

Have a Safe and Government-Controlled New Year’s Eve!

 Have a safe and tobacco and fun free new years’ eve

Greetings America from the Department of Homeland Security!

The new year is upon us.  Like many of our citizens, documented and undocumented, we are sure that you have exciting new year’s eve plans.  And we here at the Department of Homeland Security would like help you have a great, exciting, safe and government-controlled new year.  Accordingly the following provisions have been promulgated to ensure everyone’s safety.  Your cooperation is desired.  Though if you don’t cooperate we will publish your home address and you will go into our database as anti-government.  Or as we like to call them in the security business:  Unmutuals.

  • Homeland Security has over 30,000,000 cameras at important landmarks, street corners, high schools, junior high schools and elementary schools to watch for unmutual behavior.  However, putting up cameras everywhere would be prohibitively expensive.  Especially now that we are going over the fiscal cliff thanks to the teabaggers.  Accordingly we ask all Americans to download our new app (available on iTunes) that can be placed on your desktop, laptop or handheld device so we can better observe, document and regulate your behavior.
  • Many of you will feel compelled to drink fermented or distilled beverages in abundance.  We at homeland security frown upon this.  The consumption of alcoholic beverages leads to behavior that cannot be easily controlled by the government. You might say something you’ll regret for the rest of your life, like expressing sympathy with the tea party or arguing that our government is a government of limited powers as expressly dictated in the Constitution.  We suggest nonalcoholic beer.  If you absolutely must imbibe take high speed rail home.  If you live in an area without high speed rail, stay home, install our app and let us monitor you.
  • Many of you will try to ring in the new year with sexual activity.  We at  homeland security believe sex is a beautiful thing.  However, if you must have sex please wear a condom or other form of birth control.  You do not want to bring children into this world.  At least until our President Barack Obama solves the fiscal problem.  If a condom or other birth control device is unavailable and you still insist on sexual relations we suggest you close your eyes and picture Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Imagine me on top of you. Imagine her on top of you.  Her smooth, milky-white thighs pressed against your body.  Her breasts hovering over your face. Her hand caressing your “member.” Her tongue reaching to explore your secret places.  If you do this we feel confident you will not be able to perform.  (We have Beta-tested this and it works!)
  • If you have installed our app (and we highly recommend you do) we suggest you wear a portable microphone so the agent monitoring you can listen to your conversation.  We want you to have fun and have an unenforced, natural conversation.  However, do not use the phrase “tea party.” In fact, do not even use the word “tea” as this can be construed as anti-government sentiment.  If you must drink tea call it something else such as “mombo banana can snizzle truck.”

So dear fellow document and undocumented Americans, just follow the above steps and have a safe and government-controlled new years. Come to Homeland Security for our yoke is easy and our burden light. Unless you are unmutual.

But as one last warning, if you insist on having sexual relations without the assistance of birth-preventing devices think of Janet Napolitano.  You know you want it Imagine her lady parts being thrust into your face as she says, “I bathed today.  And you know you want it.”

Don’t be an unmutual!

Scotty Dismayed by New Graphical Interface Aboard Star Ships

 Anyone can be an engineer now!  There’s no place left for an old Aberdeen pub crawler like myself!

Captain Montgomery Scott of Star Fleet in his retirement speech expressed dismay at the direction Star Fleet has taken.  He particularly expressed his disgust at the graphical interface aboard the new star ships.

In my day an engineer was looked up to and respected.  Sure the Captain got all the glory but the engineer was the brains.  We were the ones crawling around in Jeffries tubes and not being electrocuted.  We were the intellects in Star Fleet.   When I started out the fleet was using Star Fleet 3.1 as the operating system for its ships.  And that system wasn’t easy.  It took grace under pressure.  You try typing “copy con c:dump core load /f /s” on a command line while the Romulans are attacking!  But now?  It’s so easy.  Engineers don’t even have to go to school to study anymore. All these young punks have to do now is use their finger to touch an icon.  I hate this new system!

Captain Scott is of course referring to the new “Star Fleet 8” operating system, which according to a Star Fleet press release promises to make running a star ship “easier than operating an Apple iPad.”

Where’s the goddamn run  command on the toolbar?  How the hell am I supposed to type “go to warp speed” when I can’t even get past the part that keeps asking me to download my favorite music?  Favorite music?  What the hell has that got to do with maintaining dilithium crystals or keeping the anti-matter from mixing with the matter, which I don’t have to tell you would be pretty bad!

Captain Scott then closed his retirement speech by blasting the current generation of Star Fleet officers as “punks.”

Officials at Star Fleet were quick to defend the fleet from Scott’s criticisms.

“Look” said one,

It’s all about advancing technology and making things easier.  We appreciate that Scotty is “old school” but the graphical interface is much quicker and easier to learn.  That leaves our officers with more down time which they can use in a hologram.

Another states that Scotty is just a “bitter old man” whose time has passed him by.

We really should have retired him years ago.  I mean the guy hasn’t passed a physical in 20 years. On his yearly evaluation under “goals to be accomplished” he wrote “eat more cheeseburgers.”  Once when we had first contact with a new life form that resembled a hot dog Scotty ate them.  There was one survivor who lasted a week stuck in Scotty’s mustache.  He was so traumatized he went back to his home planet and recommended not joining the Federation.

As to what he plans to do during his retirement, Captain Scott replied, “putter about with command line interfaces.  And eat cheeseburgers.  But mainly eat cheeseburgers.”

Manhattan Infidel Presents: A Sampling of New York Times Christmas Headlines

All the news that’s fit to make up

‘Tis the season for giving.  And if I ever find that hooker who gave me the clap boy will I give her a piece of my mind!

And in the spirit of giving today I have decided to give my readers just a taste of Christmas headlines from the paper of record:  The New York Times.  Now what methodology did I use when deciding which headlines to use you may be asking?  You may also be asking why I am dressed as Shirley Booth.  Don’t ask.  It’s how I roll.  Now onto the headlines!

December 25, 2012:  Pope Calls for Peace on Earth but Leaves Out Vital Role Played by the U.N.

Pope Benedict in his Christmas message to a mostly white crowd called for everyone to recommit themselves to peace on Earth by following Jesus.  Conspicuously missing in his speech was any mention of the United Nations, perhaps the greatest force for peace the world has ever known.  Why did the Pope leave out the U.N.?  Perhaps he’s a gun nut……..

December 25, 2011:  Shepherds Abandon Flock They Were Watching and Are Fired!

Perhaps no incident better displays the inherent injustice of labor laws than the fate of the shepherds who were guiding their flock. They abandoned their flock to see the infant Jesus and were later fired by their employer.  Didn’t these poor shepherds have any time off?  Did they have no protection from the capriciousness of ownership?  Why weren’t the shepherds union members?  Did the occupying Jews pass so-called right to work laws?……….

December 25, 2010:  Did the Three Wise Men Offer Joseph and Mary Health Insurance?

After an exhaustive two-year investigation by the Times we have revealed beyond a shadow of a doubt that the three wise men spoken of in the Bible were actually insurance agents.  Why else would they offer Jesus gold, frankincense and myrrh?  These were ancient health products.  Obviously they were trying to temp Joseph and Mary into buying expensive health insurance.  And being poor, they could not afford it.  If only Herod had offered a single-payer option……..

December 25, 2007:  Would Cross Control Have Saved Jesus?

According to tradition, Jesus died a slow, agonizing death upon a cross.  Archeological evidence suggests that ancient Palestine had a wild west mentality and that private cross ownership was common among the population. Everyone it seemed owned a cross. Jesus was, after all, just a poor black man trying to eke out a living as a carpenter amongst the cruelty of the occupying Jews.  It is worth asking this question:  Would cross control have saved Jesus?  If the population of Palestine were restricted in their cross rights perhaps Jesus would have lived.  We’ll never know of course but to the editorial board of the New York Times this makes sense……

December 25th, 2006:  No Room at the Inn?  Republicans Deregulate Hotel Industry!

In the infancy narratives of the so-called “New Testament” it is revealed that there was no room at the local inn and that the baby Jesus was born in a manger.  Why was there no room in the inn?  Perhaps the Republicans of ancient Palestine had deregulated the hotel industry, undermining certain civil rights provisions.  Perhaps Joseph and Mary, being black, were denied a room because of the prejudice of the occupying Jews……..

And there you have it readers.  Just a brief sampling of traditional New York Times Christmas day headlines.  Enjoy the season!

Manhattan Infidel Presents: A Sampling of This Year’s Christmas Specials

A joyous time of year.  For murder!

Here at the headquarters of Manhattan Infidel our mission statement mentions our pride in disseminating the latest in culture.  And what says culture more than a cheap made for TV movie?  The mission statement also mentions I am lactose-intolerant.  Yet I also love to eat pizza with extra cheese.  While eating ice cream.  And practicing auto-eroticism.  And drinking milk.  And now with the Christmas holiday behind us it is time to review this year’s top Christmas-themed specials.  And please, lay off the cheese.  I have a sensitive digestive tract.

Unlike the innocent Christmas specials of the past which featured singers such as Andy Williams or Bing Crosby singing holiday staples the new crop of Christmas specials were more “cutting edge.”  A brief sampling of which follows.

Deck the Halls with Boughs…….of MURDER!

This very popular TV movie featured Carrot Top in his hoped for comeback role as a HGH using, steroid abusing Santa who steals money from people’s homes after delivering presents.  Unfortunately one such home owner catches him in the act.

Most memorable moment:  A naked Carrot Top covered in blood, holding a butcher’s knife and saying, “I just wanted your money, bitch!”

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer (Because Its Natural Habitat was Destroyed by Deforestation)

A global warming-themed Christmas special produced by Al Gore’s Current TV featured a herd of crazed and hungry reindeer that invade a suburban Cul-de-sac, running over grandmothers, eating children and defecating on lawn ornaments. Catastrophe is averted as resident agree to forgo cars, light bulbs and flush toilets to stop anthropogenic global warming.

Most memorable moment: The reindeer, panicked and crazed by their unfamiliar surroundings stomp, bite and tear the flesh off a naked and blood-covered Carrot Top.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas (So Get That Nativity Scene Off Government Property!)

One of the more popular and inclusive Christmas specials, this one shows the origins of Christmas in ancient Kwanzaa practices going all the way back to the mid-1960s.  A typical suburban family, disturbed by the exclusive practices of Christmas sue to remove a nativity display from a courthouse square and replace it with the core Kwanzaa principles of unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith.

Most memorable moment: A naked Carrot Top, dressed only in a yarmulke crashes a Kwanzaa celebration and asks if Jews could participate, since “the Jews of the bible were Africans.”

The Night Before Christmas and All Through the House was Blood and Gore (Thanks to a Lack of Gun Control)

Produced before the tragic events in Connecticut this anti-gun movie features Carrot Top as a mild-mannered paper salesman who one day finds a discarded gun in the street and goes on a horrifically violent killing spree.  Fortunately the horrified and guilt-stricken survivors give up all their weapons, leaving only the benevolent security force of the state armed.

Most memorable moment:   A naked and covered in blood Carrot Top looks down at the gun in his hand and says, “I’ve never committed a crime in my life.  But from the moment this gun was in my hand I had an uncontrollable urge to kill.  This gun is possessed!”

I’ll be Home for Christmas (Thanks to High-Speed Rail)

Produced the the California Department of Tourism this movie revolves around a post-apocalyptic world destroyed by global warming. The band of survivors vow to rebuild their society but without carbon monoxide producing cars or Earth destroying 100-watt light bulbs.

Most memorable moment: Carrot Top (naked because clothing causes global warming) vows in front of an excited crowd, “As God, or science, is my witness I shall never be hungry again and I will only eat local produce as I take high speed rail home for Christmas!”

And there you have it readers.  What a memorable crop of TV movies.

Rudolph Tells Santa to “Shove It!”

Shove it Santa!  Where are my health benefits?

In what may have far-reaching implications for Christmas and boys and girls everywhere, Rudolph, reindeer with a nose more colorful than Jim J. Bullock, has told Santa that he will not help him deliver toys this Christmas eve.

“Now he wants my help? Now?” said an obviously distressed Rudolph.

All I ever wanted was to be one of the reindeer that helped Santa bring toys to all the gentile boys and girls.  I tried out several times for his team  I even tried out for the practice squad.  But he kept rejecting me.  “No reindeer with a nose like that will be on my team.  I’d be ashamed.”  Ashamed of what?  C’mon man!  Fat boy really knows how to hurt a reindeer.  I don’t care if there is a blizzard.  I’m not helping him.

Psychologists are convinced that Rudolph’s refusal to help is a classic case of “Disappointed in Daddy Syndrome.”  

Said a psychologist on the North Pole’s payroll:

Look, Rudolph has issues.  I wouldn’t want to be him.  His childhood wasn’t the easiest.  His father disowned him and was ashamed of his red nose.  Ever since then Rudolph has sought to transfer his daddy love to another older male.  Which could in part explain his adventurous sex life. But to make a long story short he latched onto Santa as a father figure.  And then Santa did the same thing that his father did:  rejected him.  That has to be tough for a reindeer.  I just hope Rudolph is taking his meds.

Despite the diagnosis by psychologist Rudolph denies that his decision is influenced by any so-called “Daddy issues.

This is business, nothing personal.  Fact of the matter is Santa’s been dicking me around for months now.  I was originally hired by a contractor.  Then that contractor lost his contract. So I asked Santa if I was going to be hired by the North Pole.  He said, “Sure kid.  Any day now.”  But instead I was fobbed off on another sub-contractor.  No benefits or anything.  Then that contractor lost his contact.  So I go back to Santa again and say, “Hey, what’s going on?  Are you going to hire me?”  And he again says, “Any day now kid” but instead they put me off on some temp agency.  No direct deposit, no nothing.  I have to fax my hours in every week and wait for the paycheck in the mail.  Hello?  Is this 1970?  Paycheck in the mail?  Yeah, you’re goddamn right I’m pissed.  So that’s why I’m sitting out this year.  If the kids don’t get their presents tell them to have Santa hire me.

Already there are reports of crying children begging Santa to hire Rudolph.  Santa’s workshop in the North Pole has been inundated with mail and his servers have crashed.

Despite this Santa stands by his decision to not hire Rudolph.

“Look, Rudolph’s a pain in the ass” said St. Nick.

He’s always late for work. Has a bad attitude and he keeps asking the elves to “polish his red nose.”  I don’t even want to know what that means.

Ironically, just like Rudolph, Santa maintains that his decision is not personal but based on the situation on the ground.

“I’m a businessman.  Reindeer are a big expense.  Maybe next year I’ll hire him if someone quits.”
