  1. Mister DNA   17 years ago

    Santa totally symbolizes the gov't bailout! LOL!

  2. Claus Delusion   17 years ago

    "Y'see, santa, I've been a really good boy this year, and..."

    "Like hell you have! You're getting mercury-saturated lumps of coal in your stocking, chum!"

  3. ed   17 years ago

    Santa Claus: the metaphor that keeps on giving.

  4. Statue of Liberty   17 years ago

    I think I'm going to cry.

  5. Art-P.O.G.   17 years ago

    Brought a smile to my face.

  6. ed   17 years ago

    Che would know what to do.

  7. Episiarch   17 years ago

    Bok, even when he has the right idea, can't capitalize on it. The auto people should be sitting on Santa's lap with Santa saying "and what do you want for Christmas this year?"

  8. SugarFree   17 years ago

    Epi? Wha? I thought you had to go to court today to fight that paternity suit.

  9. creech   17 years ago

    Why the sour look on Santa's face? He ran for president again this year and won again.
    If he doesn't want the job, then let Bob Barr or Ron Paul have it.

  10. BakedPenguin   17 years ago

    I thought you had to go to court today to fight that paternity suit.

    So unfair. It could have been any coked-out furry in that rabbit outfit...

  11. libertarian democrat   17 years ago

    I gotta say, while not amazing, this is a major win for Bok.

  12. VM   17 years ago

    just as long as said furry wasn't a penguin

  13. SugarFree   17 years ago

    Close. It was a Moa.

    I am bound and determined to make Reason.com + moa a number one hit.

    Moa. Moa. Moa.

  14. P Brooks   17 years ago

    I hope the Governor of Ohio shoots his eye out.

  15. phalkor   17 years ago

    I asked for a Moa T-shirt, but instead I got one with a freaky bird thing on it. 🙁

  16. Citizen Nothing   17 years ago

    P Brooks for the win.

  17. Episiarch   17 years ago

    I thought you had to go to court today to fight that paternity suit.

    I beat it like a red-headed stepchild. Hiring goons to threaten defenseless women works like a charm.

  18. @   17 years ago

    Been better with Obama as an elf handing out ponies in the background.

  19. Ska   17 years ago

    Santa's got that comfortably numb look going. Guess he has to do something to help with the ungrateful kiddies on that line.

  20. BakedPenguin   17 years ago

    Moose, wouldn't that be a "feathery"? Anyway, considering our respective handles, perhaps neither of us is one to talk.

  21. Paul   17 years ago

    I'm so confrused...what's everyone talking about?

  22. subzero   17 years ago

    Mises Blog is so much better than reason...
