As always, NORAD is on the job to make sure that Santa Claus has a safe and successful trip this year. Note that this includes aggressive air support, if necessary. The USAF: Saving Your [Redacted] Since 1947.

Merry Christmas.
OK, Christmas break has officially begun for my kids; which means that it’s officially begun for me, too. Light and fluffy, probably. I’m not really into doing anything particularly weighty if I can possibly help it.
In fact: eggnog awaits. Only… well, the title says it all.
I’m afraid to admit that Dave Barry has a point about 2015.
At this point you are saying: “Wait a minute! Surely there were some positive developments in 2015! How about the fact that, after so many years of sneering judgmentalism and divisive, overheated rhetoric, we were able to have rational, open-minded conversations about such issues as gun ownership, gay marriage, race relations and abortion, so that, as a nation, we finally began to come together and … Whoa! Sorry! Evidently I am high on narcotics.”
Yes, you are. And we intend to join you soon.
Just make sure that they’re not bath salts! No, wait, that was 2012. …No, wait: that was 2012? God, where does the time go?
Sean Rowe is probably not going to ever release his version of this song, which is a damned shame. A damned shame.
Every Inch a King is not Harry Turtledove’s weightiest work; but it’s entertaining. It’s only technically fantasy: basically, real life created a story so absurd that Turtledove had to add fantastic elements to it. Nobody would have believed that it happened, otherwise.
There’s a lesson, there.
And so, adieu to Binscombe Tales – The Complete Series.

Found here. Short version… PA Attorney General Kathleen Kane is being sued again, this time for soliciting perjury and then punishing people when they wouldn’t perjure. And by now we’re all just numb.
They apparently got crowdfunded for 100 million – no, it’s not a typo – and so the demo may not be over-promising quite as much as demos usually do.
Then again, it might still collapse under its own weight. I wonder if the people making this game were expecting this response? And how have I not heard about this before now? Weird.
This is, in a word, nasty.

You’ll note that I skipped the gif, because it depicts two children with Hispanic ancestry as monkeys, and unlike Ann Telnaes I don’t want to subject my readers to anything that nasty. You can look it up on Twitchy. Anyway, Marco Rubio’s response works for me:
Wash Post cartoon featuring @tedcruz’s children is disgusting. The Post saying the kids are “fair game” is even worse. — Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) December 23, 2015
Note, by the way, that the Washington Post was the institution that turned ‘macaca’ into a Holy Crusade. I wonder if any of them over there understand the irony? Or irony at all, really?
