today i have discovered a company called Santa Plus, based right here in my hometown. i had heard rumors of it being true, but i just read in my magazine that it is, in fact, a real company. they specialize in finding santas that 1) really look like santa 2) in many cases, have a real beard 3) don't smell like whiskey and 4) are well-mannered. now at first glance, you might think, "how could a company like this really stay in business?" the answer is in the paychecks. apparently, these santas make up to $100 for a 20 minute appearance for the kiddies. if i made $100 every 20 minutes, i'd be...well, i'd be loaded obviously. but, alas, i cannot be a santa plus santa, because i do not possess the ability to grow a beard and/or look like a man. but i would LOVE to be the CEO of santa plus, i can't imagine how anyone could get mad at you...or how could anyone file a lawsuit against you. YOU CAN'T SUE SANTA! that's just blasphemy.

anyways, i tried to find their web site, but i can't. they must be in the north pole, where there is no internet.

happy turkey eating.

election day!

whether you're a donkey or an elephant, get your ass out there and vote today. in missouri, you can vote for stem cell research, a gi-normous tax on tobacco products, felonious politicians ability to get pension plans, minimum wage increase (wahoo!) and a bunch of judges that i've never heard of. the most popular vote today, though, i believe, is the race between jim talent and claire mccaskill. these two have been slinging crap at each other for a solid month, and it's ooc. no joke. one of the commercials actually says, "mccaskill's current husband has a business in bermuda. are you surprised?" i mean, what the hell does that have to do with her platform? it doesn't. and i don't like her at all...she's a particularly unpleasant woman. but, i don't think that it's fair to bring up her husband's mischeif, unless there's proof that she's involved too.

and be nice to the volunteers, no matter how unorganized and miserable they make your voting experience. they've given up their time to do this for you.
