Thanks for all your entries this week.  Here's a selection of some of the other lines we received:

"Who said anything about money?  I’m fighting facial hair inequity!"

"R-E-S-P-E-C-T!"

"Your guess is as good as mine."

"I'm supposed to SAY what I want?"

"I don't know what I want." -- and many, many in this same vein.

"I want a job."

"The one-percenters have been bad."

"We need a porta-potty."

"I've beat drums, obstructed traffic, and trashed a park. So I'm ready for my presents."

"Corzine?"

"I would like a world full of people that aren't greedy."

"The whole world is watching."

"We just want the U.S. to be more like your operation. You know, where you and a few others work really hard all year and then give us a whole bunch of stuff for free!"

"Better jobs for my parents, so they can keep supporting me."

"Just what’s fair."

"Just to occupy a space in the American Dream!"

"Gee Santa, we already get demonized 4 times  a week in the Observer by cartoonist Michael Ramirez who works exclusively for the richest 1%.  Could you please convince Kevin Siers not to pile on?"
