News items you may have missed in the holiday excitement

•  In an attempt to make the holiday parade more inclusive, Mayor Amy Goodwin of Charlestown, West Virginia, changed the name of the annual parade from the Christmas Parade to the Winter Parade.  Jews, Muslims, and atheists were happy with the change, but as you might expect, the Christians and Trumpists, acting in the spirit of the teachings of their savior, went nuts.  These are people who bristle at the “war on Christmas” but are not insulted by a president talks about “grabbing ‘em by the pussy.”

•  Joe Sestak announced he is dropping out of the presidential race.  

•  Various Republican organizations are buying the book “Triggered” by Donald Trump Jr.  They are attempting to put the book on the best seller list.  The books are being stored.  Even Republicans won’t actually read them.


•  Rebels in the Congo are killing aid workers who are vaccinating people against Ebola.  The rebels evidently take their inspiration from anti-vaxxers in the U.S.
