As you prepare to do your caroling this X-mas eve. Don't forget to add this classic

by Crow T Robot... Let's Have a Patrick Swayze Christmas

In 1843 A Christmas Carol was published. The Spirit of Christmas Present is still quite relevent

They were a boy and girl. Yellow, meagre, ragged, scowling, wolfish; but prostrate, too, in their humility...No change, no degradation, no perversion of humanity, in any grade, through all the mysteries of wonderful creation, has monsters half so horrible and dread.             
"Spirit! are they yours?" Scrooge could say no more.                                                                                                                                                   
"They are Man's," said the Spirit, looking down upon them. "And they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware of them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Deny it!" cried the Spirit, stretching out its hand towards the city. "Slander those who tell it ye! Admit it for your factious purposes, and make it worse! And bide the end!"                                                                                                             
"Have they no refuge or resource?" cried Scrooge.                                                                                                                                                       
"Are there no prisons?" said the Spirit, turning on him for the last time with his own words. "Are there no workhouses?"

'You Believe That Folks With Handicaps... Should Not Be Able To Marry?': John Kennedy Grills Nominee

This is actually a good set of questions by Sen Kennedy. To watch the nominee try and dance around with non-answers, and the way Kennedy responded to his dodge was pretty good. (If you watch to the very end) It appears Kennedy opened the door for the Democrats to go after this person as well.
This nominee should not be allowed to judge a county fair bake-off, much less hold a seat on the federal courts

The World Cup leap into the chasm of farce with rapid speed

Several news outlets have reported that the game on June 26 in Seattle that has been designated as 'Pride Match' will be between Iran and Egypt.
Yes... two countries that NEVER come to mind when people think of Pride Friendly will be playing the Pride Match
My guess is, FIFA will dump the Pride Match idea, just as they dumped the ALCOHOL Friendly and LGBTQ+ Accepting World Cup 4 years ago

Georgia Public Service Commission flips both to Dem

I'm guessing with so many votes counted these races have been called
With 97% of the vote counted Alicia Johnson leads R/Inc Echols 721k to 460k votes
Peter Hubbard leads rep/inc Johnson 721k to 467k
Both are 61-39%

Commentary: Stop rewarding liars

With all the capitulation by media organizations... we wait

For the first one of them to accidentally fall down 12 flights of stairs in a basement, or accidentally fall from a 6th story window
If these media organizations think they can placate him, all I can say is enjoy the trip

George Zinn. The guy detained and released in Utah

This guy needs help.
He is the sort of guy that makes me feel badly for anyone who is a police officer

snip

Zinn is known for showing up — and occasionally disrupting or being arrested at — events ranging from political speeches to the Sundance Film Festival to various protests. He holds the distinction of being the first person thrown out by security at the swanky City Creek Center mall when it first opened in downtown Salt Lake City in March 2012.

Near the end of the video, one uniformed officer is heard saying, “He said he shot him, but I don’t know.”

The most serious charge against Zinn came in 2013, when he was charged with threatening to place bombs at the Salt Lake City Marathon finish line. Zinn took a plea deal and received a sentence of probation, but was ultimately ordered to jail for one year, with credit for time served, after not meeting the conditions of his probation.

In 2019, when a downtown Salt Lake City protest against the Utah Inland Port Authority turned violent, Zinn was one of five people arrested and taken to jail, KSL reported. Zinn, then 65, was arrested for investigation of disorderly conduct and failure to disperse. The other four people taken to jail were activists less than half his age.
