Whoopsie!

I had thought the NORAD/Santa story seemed a little like one of those e-mail feel-gooders that goes around, but it came from NPR and a quickie check at Snopes showed it was real. Alas, according to an item at Paleofuture, it isn't.

The story is an interesting one, if you can skip past the snarkiness about the Cold War from someone who may not have even been born when it ended, let alone began.
