I tt rasun Opinion til 1 LCD. a Wk Andrew Steele f The month of December, all its icy white fury and rajesty, has sprung upon us hapless Prince Georgians like rabid lion upon a wounded elope. As the mercury E ilmes, and the frozen crud unts, I find myself pining those warm, lazy summer Bights which I so recently Kent doing not too much of lythingatall. But rather than veil on the consequences residing recklessly far from lie equator, I feel it necessary lb elaborate on a much more pressing and insidious evil, me which sweeps down torn an even more extreme northward stationing point to igulf us in a frenzy of greed senseless consumption. Ki is evil bears a name; It is said in some Christian ircles, or so I hear, that llemons on earth will be mown by anagrams. Well, key here! It seems that the Tie of the single figure most onsible for Christmas ;ing to be about the birth (good ol' J.C. is in fact an nagram for the name of the : lord, Satan!

Second place considerations go to the Easter Bunny. Sorry, you'll get your parting gift in the mail. So what are we to do about this clear and present danger to our way of life, nay, our very existence? Well, it seems to me that Dubaya said something awhile back about how the U.S. of A. is in fact at war with all the evildoers. And it seems to me that nobody has a track record in the field of evil-doing that can rival that of Satan. I mean come on; this is a guy who lives in hell, for heck's sake. What could be more badass than that? I've heard rumors that he sometimes possesses innocent chickens and makes them stick their heads in Ozzy's mouth, and may even have been directly responsible for Mariah Carey's train wreck of an acting debut, Glitter. Beat that, Bin Laden. Based on the evidence we have managed to attain here in the Free Forum's intelligence department, we coomc tn YeM mssMmii ;?

The elves and reindeer deserve democracy, and must be liberated from the tyrannical rule of this evil dictator. We also heard from Mary that her brother Billy Bob was told by his third cousin Cletus's best friend Beausifus's wife that Betsy Sue's boss Jimmy has an uncle Norton who said that Santa may be developing Weapons of Mass Destruction, so the time is right to liberate the elves. In light of this hard evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Santa, we propose that the United States of America carpet-bomb the North Pole. While the incineration of the polar ice caps could present some mild ecological h IBS! jSelrching for theirttiext hit.

The time to act is now. Freedom will not wait. And just think of the gains in the retail sector if that fat bastard were to be shut down! Cheap skate parents would be forced to pay the exorbitant prices imposed by toy makers instead of allowing elfish slave labor in the North Pole to fill the gap. This would mean a massive influx of holiday shoppers to Wal-mart, there-by sending our dollars to human slaves, rather than those of some near extinct race of sawed off freaks in pointy hats and shoes. And, without those pesky ice caps in the way, blocking up access and slowing down progress, we could start drilling for oil from the North Pole! Everybody wins! The evidence is clear and staggering. If we fail to act now, Santa will kill us all in our sleep. Join the army, and don't forget to buy, buy, buy up your Christmas cheer. After all, that's what this season is all about. Seriously though, I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday.
