The Wrongologist

On Christmas, people say: “Peace
on earth, good will towards men”. While it isn’t Sunday, you might use the
quote below by Mose Allison to talk with your loved ones about the state of the
world today:

“Everybody’s
Crying for Peace on Earth just as soon as we
win this war”  – Mose Allison (“Everybody’s
Crying Mercy”)

In this season of faux deficit
outrage, few jobs (and no policy) for the long-term unemployed, let’s remember
that in America, we also face the twin epidemics of homelessness AND abandoned
properties. And we can’t figure out what to do about either of them.

Here are the Wrongologist’s favorite Christmas videos:

 #1.  Alec Baldwin, Molly Shannon and Ana
Gasteyer, “Schweddy Balls” (“Saturday Night Live”);http://www.hulu.com/watch/4156

 #2. Darlene Love, “Christmas Time for the Jews” (“Saturday Night Live”);http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/christmastime-for-the-jews-song/n12006/

#3. Tom Lehrer, “A Christmas Carol” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffO8nZThwmM

Finally, an Xmas pic of the Wrongologist’s dog:

Here’s
hoping that you are able to be with your loved ones today.
