    My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Santa forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.

    Fun fact: NORAD annually tracks Santa's progress because a wrong phone number was once published in a newspaper advertisement.

    I'm not to impressed about NORAD tracking Santa but I'd love to know what the NSA have on him.

    that's why kids never see him

    but NORAD still need to warn other air traffic for noise abatement reasons

    tough choice , the guys who've been tracking everything 24/365 with radars and satellites since 1955 or a company that sells ads.


    Heading towards Paris.


    If he has stealth are they detecting the air vortex behind him ?
