The news today

Ever since I was a teenager I have depended on the comic page in the daily newspaper as one source of news.  There are exceptions of course. When I was a sophomore in high school in 1954, Mary Worth had a heart attack but she is still going strong over 60 years later while many of the other characters in the strip have passed on. Isn't modern medicine wonderful??  But I digress.
In todays installment of the comic strip, "Mallard Fillmore", Santa is cradling a college snowflake in his arms.  Santa says, "Im sorry but my only elf that made footie pajamas in your size had to be euthanized".
Sometimes even Santa can't help himself.  Stay tuned.
