A hearing into the case of Rudolph, a reindeer.
Posted by Kate at December 25, 2008 6:56 PMRudolph is sadly suffering the effects of alcoholism, thus the big red nose.
Posted by: DJ at December 25, 2008 7:25 PMSheesh, I admire Rudolph with his big red nose.
Posted by: Orlin at December 25, 2008 7:37 PMAhhh, but is Rudolph a member of an identifable group or is he just a single member (red-nosed variant)of a subset (flying reindeer) of a group (non-flying reindeer) that is not identifable?
And the most important question. Since, as an employee of a readily identifable Chirstian agent carrying out his dutys wrt the birth of the Christian saviour, is this automatically cause for his claim to move to the front of the list?
Ya know, it really strains the brain box to try and think like a HRC........ even for two lousy paragraphs. Hats off to Peter Scowen for making it through an entire commentary without having his head explode.

A plastic surgeon- veterinarian was asked to do a nose transplant on Rudolph. However, the vet refused saying his specialty was tails. He said he feared Rudolph might wind up looking like a pushme-pullya. The vet was charged by the CHRC, found guilty by the CHRC and fined six million dollars by the CHRC. In a stunning move, the CHRC reversed it's own decision when it learned the vet was a Martian, one of the smallest visible minorities in Canada. The vet has since returned to his home in Roswell, New Mexico.
All good "progressive" reindeer "know": Rudolph's mother (NOT his father, who of course should have had no input on the decision) should have aborted Rudolph for his "disfigurement", which made him "life unworthy of life", thereby allowing more green liebensraum for non-disfigured reindeer.
Posted by: Dave in Pa. at December 25, 2008 11:39 PMRudolph won the case. From them on it was downhill for the red bulb. With all the ill gotten money he slowly drifted into a state of alcoholism from the despair of the shunning of his Deer homies. Next it was heroin. Before long the little deer was
igniting his nose for money. Prostituting his self for a Big Bear beer.
Poor Rudolph ended up face first, dead as a door nail. In Yellow snow. His liver finally gave out, though some say it was his heart?
