14. 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!===

    Comment by Vote Quimby! Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 10:07 am

15. 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…”

    Comment by wordslinger Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 10:12 am

    Comment by Kevin Fanning Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 10:15 am

17. 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?

23. 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 …”

    Comment by ZC Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 11:13 am

24. #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’

25. Good one, OneMan.

    Unfortunately, some of the funniest comments had to be deleted. lol

    Comment by Rich Miller Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 11:35 am

26. 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.”

    Comment by Yellow Dog Democrat Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 11:46 am

27. Anyone can work blue…..

    Comment by OneManBlog Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 11:49 am

    Comment by Rich Miller Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 11:50 am

29. 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?

    Comment by zatoichi Friday, Jun 20, 08 @ 12:00 pm
