Winner for each pic gets a free classified ad or calendar posting at the newly revamped InsiderzExchange. Please, try to keep it clean. Thanks. …Adding… Hynes finished first in Round 2 of our “whom should Blagojevich appoint to Obama’s seat” poll, so I figured we had to have a little fun with him today…

Yes, Santa, you can have your picture taken with me. But then I REALLY need to tell you what I want for Christmas.

Real men wear kilts.
- Vote Quimby! - Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 10:07 am:
Has Groundskeeper Willie from The Simpsons done more to set back the wearing of kilts than any other force?===Ar, you blouse-wearing poodle walker!===
- wordslinger - Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 10:12 am:
1. Hynes: “I think it’s clear now that Sen. Obama does not think he’s the Messiah…”
2. Man in kilt: “Sure, I think you’ve got the legs for it, Tommy, but that’s not really why we do it…”
- Kevin Fanning - Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 10:15 am:
Whose Tommy?
- COPN - Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 10:16 am:
1-Angered that he can’t sit in Santa’s lap and tell him what he wants for Christmas, he quietly grabs a gift with his left hand while taking the picture.
2-Who’s wearing a higher spf?
- wordslinger - Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 10:18 am:
His Dad. Mea culpa. Showing my age… it will happen to you, too, Kevin!

Top pic: “Please, Mr. President, endorse me as your replacement in the Senate.”
Bottom pic: “Daniel, boy….you really need to stop twirling like a model… the shorts don’t look that good with those pasty white legs.”

1. At least the tie matches the suit.
2. “So you see, sir, there’s this website you should go to - today - it’s called The Capitol Fax Blog … Here, I’ll spell that for you …”
- OneManBlog - Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 11:29 am:
#1 Dan Hynes and Santa share an awkward moment after Dan brings up his ‘What I wanted for 2004′ list again…
#1 Santa has the same confused look that everyone gets once Dan starts his ‘The difference between Treasurer and Comptroller’ speech.
#2 No normally they are not white and green I decorate them like that for the parade…
#2 “No, that is Comptroller Atkins from the Simpsons, who has appeared in two episodes ‘Lisa Gets an A’ and ‘Saddlesore Galatica’, if you have another 20 seconds I can finish my full list of ‘Comptrollers in popular culture’

- Rich Miller - Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 11:35 am:
Good one, OneMan.
Unfortunately, some of the funniest comments had to be deleted. lol
- Yellow Dog Democrat - Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 11:46 am:
1. Like the Chicago Children’s Museum, White Santa won’t come to the Southside or Westside, because those neighborhoods have connotations “That may make Reindeer feel like its not a place for them.”
2. “Really? I’m not wearing anything under my shorts either.”
- OneManBlog - Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 11:49 am:
Anyone can work blue…..
- Rich Miller - Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 11:50 am:
True, but some of them were funny.
- zatoichi - Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 12:00 pm:
1. Santa was glad Danny did not want a lap picture for the office.
2. 20 years at Steak and Shake got me this hat. What does your company do?

1. Jesse would do anything for a photo op
