omnium gatherum, n. : a collection of many different, often unsorted, ideas or items.

Really


From the NYT -- or, rather, AP -- "Signs of Confederacy are Vanishing in the South." Perhaps. Will drone on more about this in a bit.

Also, an interesting piece on reasonable and good-for-all gun stuff: Massachusetts is using electronic computers to do background checks at gun stores, shows, etc that are linked into police department and FBI records. Expedites the buying -- and saves a lot of people from getting killed, too, I imagine. They mention the case of a batterer whose court restraint order instantly popped up on the screen as he was trying to buy a gun, presumably to go after his wife/girlfriend while she was trying to move on.

Nothing happier to think about on Christmas than preventing domestic violence.

Well, maybe there is. But...anyway. One of those days....but wait...it's not supposed to be...

I don't really see it as a day that should be treated differently. Long story. Too tired. Going to go nap. Later.
