Santa Bin Laden is Coming to Town

I want to apologize for this post in advance. It's extremely quiet at work and I find myself very very sleepy today.

Alright, so I started getting into the whole reading thing recently. I usually read nonfiction but I've developed this interest in Christian fiction after reading The Shack. I just finished this book called Dead Heat by Joel Rosenberg, which was very good, but I didn't realize it when I started that it was the last in a series. So as soon as I finished I walked over to the mall and bought the first book, The Last Jihad. The series is basically an end times political thriller, but unlike Left Behind, which starts at the rapture, this series ends at the rapture and tells of the events leading up to the rapture. Very good, but scary as crap.

Anywho, I noticed that many references are made to NORAD, which is mentioned in many movies as well when the President of the US is involved. NORAD is kind of like a military hub for when it comes to commanding military action on other countries. Well, I decided to Wikipedia NORAD and as I was reading the article, I read about how every Christmas since the 1950's, NORAD will "track" Santa Claus for fun and keep updates for kids on where he's at in the world. Recently they've enabled the online use of satellite imagery to keep track of that jolly fat man. I started thinking, the possibilities would be endless for some great, yet mean practical jokes. Think about it, can you imagine informing kids about the recent reports from NORAD that has the most advanced tracking technology in the world?

Can you imagine, kids waking up on Christmas rushing down the stairs to find an empty tree. Imagine the excuses?

"Well Suzie we watched the satellite feed of Santa but once he got to our house, he just made some obscene gesture and kept going. I guess you shouldn't have been such a little snot this year."

"Well kids it looks as if even Santa is getting in the political spirit this year. Unfortunately for you Santa is a Democrat and since we live in a red state, he decided to pass us up. Bet you wished we lived in California now, don't ya?"

"I'm sorry Billy, I know you were expecting that X-Box this year and I'm sure Santa got it for you. But due to Santa spending a little too much time delivering presents in terrorist training camps, NORAD got nervous and had him shot down. Not only that, but the president ordered a full-scale nuclear strike on the North Pole so it looks like you'll be getting socks from now on."

I'm just sayin'..........
