Gosh, that was prolific but a bit long-winded."God is a Republican and Santa Claus is a Democrat.
God is an elderly or, at any rate, middle aged male, a stern fellow, patriarchal rather than paternal and a great believer in rules and regulations. He holds men accountable for their actions. He has little apparent concern for the material well being of the disadvantaged. He is politically connected, socially powerful and holds the mortgage on literally everything in the world. God is difficult. God is unsentimental. It is very hard to get into God's heavenly country club.
Santa Claus is another matter. He's cute. He's nonthreatening. He's always cheerful. And he loves animals. He may know who's been naughty and who's been nice, but he never does anything about it. He gives everyone everything they want without the thought of quid pro quo. He works hard for charities, and he's famously generous to the poor. Santa Claus is preferable to God in every way but one: There is no such thing as Santa Claus."

O'Rourke used to write for Rolling Stone. Funny guy...sorta took over from Hunter Thompson...but not as serious...or insane...Gosh, that was prolific but a bit long-winded."God is a Republican and Santa Claus is a Democrat.

PJ O'Rourke... PJ.. Isn't he that pissed up Irish actor?
Oh no that's Micky?
So are you saying your not a man of science?
Thought you'd only buy American...Apparently they do. I love mine too. Carry it every day, wouldn't leave the house without it.
Na I'm 5' 11" and not familiar with your Americanisms.Why do I get the feeling you're 5'2" and a buck20 wet?" If that had been my kid, Santa would be getting dentures and a new jaw for Christmas".If that had been my kid, Santa would be getting dentures and a new jaw for Christmas.
Isn't "your kid" 67?
What is a buck20 wet?
He's saying you weigh 40kg dripping wet...IOW you're a runt.Na I'm 5' 11" and not familiar with your Americanisms.Why do I get the feeling you're 5'2" and a buck20 wet?"

Maybe Santa shouldn’t be an asshole. Isn’t a Santa supposed to be friendly and not an asshole? I never heard a Santa scold a kid, that is just plain stupid of the Santa. Who the hell cares want the kid wants? What business does a hired have telling a kid what he can or can’t have? The guy is a real jerk.Maybe the kid needs to harden up....Because he made a child cry because he was such a psycho and so triggered by little styrofoam pellets.Why is he a piece of trash? You losing your mind over a little argument in a store? Grow the fuck up....
Get a life, dog face.
M'eh. Santa was speaking in a kind voice. He wasn't angry or scolding. He said he couldn't give him that present but his dad could, so the kid could have the present if he wanted, just not from him.Maybe Santa shouldn’t be an asshole.

Na I'm 75 kilos 11stone 6 pounds which is the optimum weight for my height.What is a buck20 wet?
Eight and one half stones.
I thought you were not speaking after my circumcision remarks.
When you have to massively fix the system for others while charging the people living there for it, it is self destructive. For how many years and decades has this nation pushing quotas without changing the dynamics of them? So we are forced to hire ten people when seven are really good. Over and over and over for everything over a half century. Science died after we landed on the moon.Gosh, that was prolific but a bit long-winded."God is a Republican and Santa Claus is a Democrat.
