Bored on Christmas? Sorry to hear it--let me help you, even if it's only to help you be more bored.
Finally, something that LinkedIn is good for.
Social studies textbooks: feeble but not harmless.
Spirits merry and bright... "Behind blast walls and with police nearby, 200 worshippers attended Christmas mass Monday at Baghdad's Our Lady of Salvation Church, which officially reopened this month after a massacre in 2010."
Meanwhile... Syria rebels threaten to attack two Christian towns.
It's no surprise, then, that the current wave of Islamic persecution may be the one to finally do Middle Eastern Christianity in.
And what will happen, once the compassionate, civilizing effect of Christianity is removed from Islamic lands? Something very like this, maybe: "Abbas Reneges on Promise to Reform “Honor Killing” Laws" Yes--secular, Westernized Mahmoud Abbas wants to continue letting Arab men get away with murdering the wimminfolk, in order to preserve their honor.
Jingle bells, shotgun shells...
Oldest known Christmas recordings: Story here, recordings here.
Hasidic women to feminists: Buzz off!
Need a smartphone as big as a mini-tablet? Here y'go! This is trend is marketing genius--like whoever it was in the 90s who figured out that people would pay for extra-large minivans. Say that to yourself, slowly...Extra-large...minivans...
Things never to say to white colleagues. I hope I'm not as tender-eared as all that--I want people to be able to relax around me!
