Stockings are hung by the chimney with care, and the clock is ticking down. But the news doesn't stop. Here are a few stories worthy of note as we hurtle toward a second coronavirus Christmas.
Surviving family members are getting quite bold about trashing their COVID-deniers-dead-of-COVID relatives in obituaries. Here's an example from Schenectady: "Michael Joseph Malecki died needlessly from COVID-19 on Monday, November 15, 2021, at the age of 70. He did not believe in masks, tests, vaccines, or the virus; he was ill for less than 48 hours." When will these nutcases ever learn?
North Carolina Congressman and all-around traitor Madison Cawthorn and his bride of just eight months have announced their divorce, and, amusingly, people are measuring their marriage in Scaramuccis. Cawthorn has blamed the demands of his job for the split, but why do we think that he's abused her, physically, mentally, and/or emotionally?
Has anyone else noticed that the supply-chain-and-delivery crisis that was supposed to swamp America for the holidays... um, hasn't happened? After weeks of screaming about impending disaster, The New York Times grudgingly did yesterday. This logistical bullet was dodged for two reasons: 1) Joe Biden, and 2) reasonable people doing sensible things, like buying local and shopping early. Congratulations, everyone! Now, if only the mainstream media would catch up.
Finally, speaking of doing sensible things, we did not know that the writer Joan Didion, who died today, was descended from 19th-century settlers who left the Donner Party to find another route to California. Hooray for American pragmatism. We cats PURR.
