Corporate Carols

I’M STARTING TO GET EXCITED

Jerry Garrett: “In the past, you have always gotten so excited when the days begin to get longer. That happens on December 22. However, the earliest sunset occurs about two weeks earlier. In fact, last week. Check out this website for a zip code probably near you.”

For the record, I like corporations, in the main. But this is fun – and beautiful to behear.

ANOTHER VIEW FROM ABROAD

Erich Almasy: “Tabatha Southey writes a weekend column in the Toronto Globe and Mail called ‘Tart.’ This one [skewering the Republican field] is from just before Cain suspended his campaign and I thought it was perfect.”

☞ Perfect, indeed. Or at least fun. Last week’s Der Spiegel post was more serious. (With regard to that one, Bill Spencer wrote: “It’s always fun to read or hear someone else reinforce your own opinions, but does it help? Most Republicans I know would scoff at the Der Spiegel article. They are in denial.” Fair enough. And yet, even so, there may be (a) a place for fun; (b) some room to move those now only marginally still comfortable with the Republicans; (c) something useful in reinforcing our own resolve.)
