That’s what the Shrubbery’s anti-missile “defense” program was all about – stopping that red-suited Commie from compromising the Christmas receipts of WalMart. Why else put it all in Alaska after the end of the Cold War?

It is just as bad in the US with the rapid expansion of detention facilities after 9/11, and the use of private corporations to run them. Public employees would at least have a pension worry about, while most of the private guards will go back to their fast-food part-time position if they get fired.

I think those “security personnel” should be forced to watch every version of A Christmas Carol ever filmed on a continuous loop until the Orthodox Feast of the Epiphany.

What kind of slime denies children, who are guilty only of being children, a visit from St. Nickolaus during Yuletide? Hell, most cop shops hand out candy canes at booking during Christmas, unless you gave someone a hard time with the fingerprints or pictures, and that’s to people who are criminals.
