Yes, Virginia, Goddammit, Now Get Off My BackThe title of the last post confused some people who either a) didn't grow up in America or b) didn't have Elroy Lang for high-school geography. The best I could do to explain the line, "Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" was, "Uh, I think it's from a movie." Right? Yes, Mike, but it's a lot more interesting than that. The story goes back to a real Virginia and an editor at the old New York Sun, in 1897.
Thanks to Kuchen.
