Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 08, 2014

Hmm, Santa’s still using snail mail? Tap won’t work?

Surely SOME things are off limits!!

The third guy in the background is from OSHA, there to make sure the toy shop is in compliance with the new ergonomics guidelines.

We don’t need any stinkin’ authority. We’re the government.

Yes I too would like to go back to a time then I could work in a death trap

Guess who’ll get coals in their stockings….! Makes a snazzy weapon too, then you can use it for fuel.

Oh, it had to happen – but why after all these years did they do it NOW?

This is why you need to have security cameras and keep your data on computer systems connected to the Internet. You never have to be called upon by the government in person. They can get everything they want remotely. It’s a big time saver.

What a ridiculous premise for a comic! They’ve obviously already had those lists since the advent of wireless technology.

NSA is the only one on the list…

They’ve already got Amazon and all the wireless and internet providers in their pocket. Why not Saint Nick?

Since the gov has no problem firing drone missiles at people in other countries, even if we’re not at war with them, I’d be worried if I were Santa.

“He sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake; He knows if you’ve been bad or good…”

Santa: Jolly old elf or CIA spook?

But when they find THEIR names magically on the naughty list for stealing it, they’ll wish they hadn’t bothered.

Obviously the naughty list only contains those who disagree with Obama. It will be added to Obama’s enemies list. Why else would they want it?

Confiscate? You mean they have not accessed those from his files? Did someone actually profile a non-white santa?

The NSA is at the top of that list.

Arlo Guthrie’s "The Pause of Mr. Claus, " Santa Claus has a red suit, must be a Communist. With his beard and long hair, must be a pacifist. What’s in that pipe Santa’s smoking?"

The NSA better watch out for E.L.F.S.

So glad Wolfowitz is back in action……

Pft! Everyone knows the North Pole is in Canada! Go away before I sic a Mountie on you!

My daughter just reached the age where she knows that Daddy and I are Santa. Yesterday she asked whether we still give presents to our children if they are naughty.

Doesn’t the NSA already have Santa’s naughty list? (And nice list too, for that matter)

Heck…I keep asking for the phone numbers for all the redheads on his naughty list…but it seems that I’m not good enough for that gift…

I’m sorry, gentlemen, I just sold it to Entertainment Tonight. They’re going to make a reality TV program out of it.

Time for some reindeer rain to fall.

In what universe is Nixon to the left of Obama? Just curious….

Laughed out loud. Too true, too true.

The NSA has only two lists… Naughty and Really Naughty. And absolutely everyone is on one or the other.

I am beginning to get tired pof this page…. not because of the comic, but because of the comments that are meaningless to a non US resident.

Santa: Okay but I hope you can read Elfish. Let me get the 5 1/4 disks for you; those are just back up copies anyway.

NSA: “Turn over the Naughty List, or the FAA is revoking your airspace license over the US”.

It’s entirely possible that Santa and the NSA have very different definitions of ‘Naughty’….

While it is tempting to think NSA occupies the list exclusively, there’s room for all the gutless and bought politicians who mouth things about civil liberties, do nothing to rein in the NSA (although some are eager to defund the EPA for daring to modestly urge clean air and water), and then sick militarized police onto peaceful protesters.

Shouldn’t this be the other way around, Santa asking for the NSA’ s list?

Night-Gaunt49: That is because red and white is Coco Cola’s trade colors. “Just the usual; 20,000 billboards showing Santa refreshing himself with our beverage.” Stan Freberg in Green Christmas.

Santa better hope he has some friends with the IRS…oh, right, emails, never mind.

That’s because they’re on the list and they want to deep six it.

Not really. This is all a bit like an inner tube adventure. Just stay close to the tube with the cooler in it and you’ll be fine. The scenery changes and you can get excited about it, but the cooler is the important thing.

@Night-Gaunt 49 You did see that I was quoting from a song by Arlo Guthrie, right? The song was lampooning certain sides.
