Thoughts While Rolling Over
Big News
Saddam Hussein told the judge at his trial Monday he's not afraid of execution. In fact, he plans to be executed live and in colored underpants.
ABC News has settled on the youthful anchor team of Elizabeth Vargas and Bob Woodruff to replace the late Peter Jennings as anchor of "World News Tonight." Apparently, it's an attempt to get some sponsors who don't sell laxatives and acid reflux pills.
- Personally, I hope it works. It's hard to enjoy dinner with the news when side-effects include vomiting, seizures, and 4-hour erections.
Terrific Tuesday
Tuesday is St. Nicholas Day. In many European countries, St. Nicholas brings fruit, cakes, and gifts to all good little children. The name "Santa Claus" evolved from St. Nicholas via a Dutch dialect form of the name, Sinte Klaas or Sinterklaas. The first church in what would become New York City, built by the Dutch in 1624, was named for Sinterklaas.
St. Nick was Bishop of Myra in the 4th century, noted especially for his charity. Not to be confused with the modern Santa Claus, noted especially for accepting all major credit cards.
St. Nick finishes up three weeks earlier than Santa Claus because St. Nick's elves are non-union.
Saint Nicholas was born on December 6th in 342. Everybody loves Saint Nicholas, except the ELO -- the Elf Liberation Organization.
St. Nick is sort of a religious Santa Claus. He can't come to America because of an ACLU restraining order.
