Relevant to today’s quasi-holiday for the rest of us: the “Festivus” article on Wikipedia.
Today’s news and commentary:
- “Santa on cross protests commercialism” (Charlie Brown would be proud.)
- “Epistemological Indulgences”
- “Tent city in suburbs is cost of home crisis” (The cause of this housing crisis, bad lending practices, makes me wonder if it is time for America to implement a traditional Jewish lending practice: cancelation of all debts once every seven years. Faced with the prospect of losing huge amounts of money, maybe lenders would think twice about trying to get people into severe chronic debt.)
- “First Dec. 25 Xmas tied to pagan shrine”
- “Traffic jam mystery solved by mathematicians”
- “Asteroid May Soon Slam into Mars”
- “Seven great "medical myths" revealed”
- “Nanosolar 'prints' first flexible solar cells”
- “Human Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Created That Avoid Immune Rejection in Large Segments of the Population”
- “Want to Slim Down? Tax Soda” (Better would be to cancel all subsidies for foods that are bad for us, such as corn syrup, as said subsidies are responsible for making such awful things as soda absurdly cheap.)
