Now this is something Mr. Obama needs to investigate and correct ... a true travesty.

Starry-eyed children writing letters to the jolly man at the North Pole this holiday season likely won't get a response from Santa Claus or his helpers.

The U.S. Postal Service is dropping a popular national program begun in 1954 in the small Alaska town of North Pole, where volunteers open and respond to thousands of letters addressed to Santa each year. Replies come with North Pole postmarks.

Last year, a postal worker in Maryland recognized an Operation Santa volunteer there as a registered sex offender. The postal worker interceded before the person could answer a child's letter, but the Postal Service viewed the episode as a big enough scare to tighten rules in such programs nationwide.

This has more to do with dollars than pervs, nice spin by the post office.... We all know the post office isn't doing that hot, but you think they could stick it out with another year of faux Santa......

In an unrelated story, here is a photo of a fat dog!
