Santa checks list twice, finds out that Pope is naughty

December 1, 2004 By David Leave a Comment

Popewithcoal_1ROME – Santa Claus declared the Pope "naughty" for the first time in recent memory, and delivered a large lump of coal to him in time for Christmas.  In what was seen as a particularly harsh move on Santa’s part, the coal was deposited not in the Pope’s stocking, but directly onto the Pope himself.  Vatican officials refused to speculate on Santa’s reasons for removing the Pope from the "nice" list this year, stating only that "we are aware of no naughtiness on the part of His Holiness."  Reached by telephone at the North Pole, Mrs. Claus said that her husband was "very busy" and would have no comment on the matter, adding that "we never discuss ‘the list’ with the media."

But seriously folks, this picture is from a work of art entitled "The Ninth Hour," by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, which features a wax likeness of the Pope after being struck by a meteorite.  It recently sold for $3 million.  Proving once again that we are all in the wrong line of work.

Our entire public debate is decades behind the realities we know we face now, and as we understand those realities better, most of our findings will reveal our problems to be even more pressing than we thought they were.

That's just what the 2020s are going be like. https://twitter.com/DrNoelHealy/status/1204204976953626624

This final slide from @MichaelEMann is devastating. The time for incremental climate policy is over.🚨He estimates annual emissions may have to drop by 15% a year (rather than 7.5%)🚨. In other words we have zero years to tackle climate change. We need a #GreenNewDeal now #GND

The take away of this story doesn't seem to be that impeachment is bad for Democrats. It's that opposing impeachment is so bad for Democrats they can't remain Democrats. https://twitter.com/AndrewDesiderio/status/1205949264515481600

NEWS: Rep. Jeff Van Drew, a Democrat who opposes impeachment, plans to switch parties and become a Republican.

Staff were informed today. Question now is when, not if, he makes it official.
