Merry Winter Solstice, Everybody!
Hopefully everyone will gather around their Solstice tree for the sacrificial fruitcake eating and hot wine drinking ceremony tonight.
I look forward to this all year long. It's second only to the ritualistic Summer Solstice hat dancing festival in Akron every year.
Come back, Mother Sun. Absolve us of our sins.

Is it just my imagination...
Or do we WASTE so much of the nation's time dealing with Right Wing conspiracy theories, the failed backwards policies and proposals and just so much general crap that they're responsible for, that all we're only doing is spinning our wheels while all the greedy crooks are running up a tab behind our backs?
It that's what's going on?

Congressman turned $1 million Costa Mesa home rental into pigsty
By R. SCOTT MOXLEY Thursday, Dec 19 2013
When Congressman Dana Tyrone Rohrabacher moved into a four-bedroom, four-bathroom, million-dollar Costa Mesa rental home on April Fool's Day 2010, the immaculate, 6,300-square-foot property could have been featured in a glossy real-estate magazine. Built in 1948, the two-story, Orange Avenue home had been updated in recent years for comfort and style. The carpeting was new, appliances worked and walls were spotless. Thriving flowers, plants and grass adorned the idyllic back yard less than 4 miles from the Pacific Ocean.
But it's now understandable why Orange County's senior, career politician secretly changed the locks and refused to allow homeowner Robert Polyniak inside for annual inspections. When he moved out in August 2012, Rohrabacher left behind a shockingly horrific pigsty, a dump worse than a college fraternity house of unhygienic slobs unfamiliar with the most basic tools of cleaning. Darlene Whitsell, Polyniak's longtime girlfriend, entered the home shortly after the congressman's departure and wept at the scene.
"It was disgusting," she said. "It was unbelievable. Who lives like that?"
Massive black stains and muck covered the carpet throughout the home. Sticky grime encased damaged, rusted appliances. Denied water, once-thriving outside plants and grass dried up and died. Blinds were cracked. Black dirt ruined the appearance of once-sparkling tile floors. Walls inexplicably contained odd holes, nail polish, wax and some smelly substance that may have been feces.
Every toilet seat in the house was broken. The ceilings showed smoke damage. Light switches had been cracked. Clumps of hair and remnants of what may have been balloons or some other rubbery material clogged sinks. Cracks scarred doors. Thick, solidified grease rendered the air-suction vent above the kitchen stove useless. Bathroom towel bars were missing, and vanities suffered water damage.
