Today is the feast of St. Nicholas, patron saint of prostitutes. What, you didn’t know that Santa has a soft spot for whores? Yep, so you’d better be nice to us today; book a visit with your favorite lady or make a donation to me (of whom he is especially fond for reasons that should be obvious). Under no circumstances should you ever give money to the awful Salvation Army, for reasons that I’ve explained at length; their use of Santa’s image to support programs of hate vs. those under his protection is an ongoing crime. If you are filled with the desire to emulate the jolly saint by giving during this season, there are many worth charities that actually deserve your generosity; don’t give it to religious fanatics with a marketing campaign.
