Irving Berlin, 1942
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten, and children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow I’m dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white I’m dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may…

The magi as you know were wise men….
The Gift of the Magi The magi, as you know, were wise men–wonderfully wise men–who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most…

40 Years: A Charlie Brown Christmas
40 Years: A Charlie Brown Christmas
Last year I recommended Handel’s Messiah A Soulful Celebration. And a couple of years back, I was on the ball enough to give advance notice of ABC’s showing of A Charlie Brown Christmas. (I hope the shameless commercialism of those links doesn’t offend Chuck.) This year, I got new music – 40 Years: A Charlie Brown Christmas. “And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the…

Forget bailouts, re-industrialize America
Politicians, financiers and pundits are all busily attempting to jawbone a normal cyclical downturn, already made tougher by the Fed’s seesaw monetary policy, into a permanent downturn in US and world economic growth. A failed $700 billion financial bailout is to be followed by a $50 billion bailout of the failed US auto industry that may buy it, at its current cash burn rates, a couple more…

We arrested the people who did this in March
We arrested the people who did this in March
I’ve had enough of watching John McCain be an ass at this Senate hearing on the abuse of Iraqi prisoners. The opening statement by Rumsfeld, Brownlee and the generals should have been, “Senators, we’ve dealt with this. We arrested the people who did this in March.” The answer to every question should be one sentence. “We arrested the people who did this in March.” The handwringing, the wailing…

Yahoo! News – Groups Ask Court to Block Gay Marriages “Conservative groups pleaded with a federal judge Wednesday in an 11th-hour bid to stop the nation’s first state-sanctioned gay marriages from taking place next week in Massachusetts.” These groups calling themselves “conservative” is like…well, John McCain calling himself a Republican. Marriage is a state issue. The Massachusetts decision was…

Telegraph | News | China rips up our deal on Hong Kong, but where’s the outrage? “The best reason for threatening Taiwan is the relative absence of fuss in the West about what’s happened to Hong Kong. If anyone, back in 1997, had realised that the agreement to allow Hong Kong to follow its own path for half a century would be trashed within seven years, there would have been international…
