Even though I earlier found myself subjected to a featurette about Paris Hilton’s Christmas on one of the tv gossip shows, which almost made me give up on the whole thing...
A COOL YULE TO ALL YOU FINE READERS OF DOC40

THE RED AND THE BLUE
With the voyeurism that is such a part of the internet, I’m just a stone fool for the Next Blog button. Today I came across a very nice man who was against the war and posted pictures of his cats in the snow, and had been looking at some Red chat rooms where he discovered the following post from a character called Joe M. Richardson, who may be the real voice of middle America, in the subject of the soldier who had complained to Rumsfeld that his Humvee was a bunch of defenseless junk : "The duped soldier should be put at the very front of the action, no armor. The cooperating sergeant's career should be over and maybe become MIA. Pitts and all his cronies should be executed as traitors. We are fighting a war, the debate is over, you’re either for us or against us, there is no middle ground. I say start executing the leftists in our country, soon."
Is it just that’s it’s Christmas, or do I detect a decidedly biblical echo in Joe’s desire to put the unfortunate grunt in the front line. Wasn’t this what King David did to the husband of one of his royal fuck-bunnies? I also wonder why Joe wants us killed soon rather than right now. Nothing more lame than a procrastinating Nazi. Or maybe there’s something he wants to watch on the History Channel.

HO HO HO
Q – Why is America overweight?
A – It gave up smoking.
(And before you Brit homies laugh too hard, remember you’re on the same slippery, non-smoking slope.)
VARIED YULE THOUGHTS
God is always being "used" by those that desire to control the citizens of their nations and to "move" them in the desired direction -- it has never worked and is doomed to failure here in America -- but what will be the cost? – Longrider
If you want entertainment, you can get a couple of hookers and an eightball. – Sean Penn

OH...CHRISTMAS
Another wartime Christmas? Tet offensive? The Battle of the Bulge? Looking up from Iraq on TV, I can’t help thinking about those poor dumb bastards in France in WW1, the idiot grunts, Brit and German, who climbed out of their trenches, kicked a soccer ball around, toasted each other in gin and schnapps, and whatever else they had to hand, sang Silent Night, and then some bloody officer in polished boots blew a whistle, and they all went back to slaughter-as-usual. We used to get regaled of that story in school as though it was something good. The mind boggles.
CRYPTIQUE – Drive on, it don’t fucking matter.

REMEMBER THE NWO?
WONDER WHERE THE ALIENS WENT?
Real weird, real paranoid, and real big fun (and, by some very odd syncronicity) there’s what seem to purport to be a picture of the phenomenon mentioned below)...

ANOTHER SYMPTOM OF AN EXTREMELY SICK PLANET THAT WE CAN TOTALLY IGNORE AS WE DRIVE OUR SUVs AND CLAIM A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS, RIGHT?
I discovered this tale, both cautionary and spooky, while I was reading about something else. I failed to make a note of it’s origin, but it might have been the London Guardian.
Eskimos and scientists report a strange "lightness at noon" that is turning the usual all-day darkness of the high Canadian Arctic into twilight, apparently in defiance of natural laws. Canadian government officials say it may be the result of an unusual atmospheric phenomenon caused by global warming. Inuit hunters are telling the government's weather station at Resolute Bay - Canada's second most northerly village, 1,000 miles from the North Pole - of a new light in the sky. And Wayne Davidson, the Canadian government official who runs the station, says he believes it is caused by climate change. For the past five years, Mr Davidson says, there has been a growing light along the horizon in the middle of the day in winter. "The entire horizon is raised like magic, like the hand of God is bringing it up," he says. But Mr Davidson's investigations, backed by other scientists, suggest a more prosaic explanation. Warmer air, from global warming, is overlaying the cold air of the Arctic and the interface between the two creates a kind of "mirror in the sky" which reflects the sun's rays from further south.
