A shocking study was recently released by the Swedish engineering consulting firm SWECO. National Public Radio reports: “ A Swedish engineering firm still believes in Santa Claus, but it says the North Pole is all wrong for him. To finish his job in time for Christmas morning, the firm calculated that Santa's base should be in
Kyrgyzstan. It took into account the main population centers and the Earth's rotation. The firm also found that Santa has 34 microseconds for each chimney stop. That's one fast Santa.”
I’d like to know who ordered the study and what their ties are to Kyrgyzstan. Is Ronald Snow cashing Kyrgyzstani reelection-campaign checks? I’m sure their tourism board would love to have Santa’s operation lining their pockets, unless being the world’s largest producer of fermented mare’s milk is still pulling ‘em in. The whole thing smacks of H.O.H.O.H.O. and its increasing marginalization of Christmas.
