Anderson Cooper interviews fear mongering GOP candidate Renee Ellmers, who proceeds to be about as weasely and dim as a politician can possibly be.
Quote of the day from Cooper, after Ellmers accuses him of being “anti-Christian:” “That’s like the lowest response I’ve ever heard from a candidate.”

Interesting how 'Christian' and 'American' are being conflated as to mean the same exact thing. Identity politics straight out of Cromwell's England.

There's a Spanish saying that seems to apply to these situations--
"Que es mio, es mio. Que es suyo, es suyo y mio."
Translation--"What is mine, is mine. What is yours, is yours and mine."

Its easier to get the pagan masses to celebrate the birth of your diety if you happen to celebrate it during their festival of the winter solstice.
(I really enjoy tweaking my fundie friends who oppose the kiddies collecting candy on Halloween by pointing out that All Hallows Eve was a celebration of the freeing of spirits from limbo by Christ while December 25th is a pagan winter solstice celebration.)

I thought Santa was the 4th wise man who got lost and followed the North Star accidently and was cursed by God to wander the Earth every December 25 until the new messiah is born. Over time Santa decided to play it safe and just give every child presents to make sure he didn't miss him a second time.

An explanation of virtual particles and their role in Hawking radiation.
