Yeah But It's Christmas

Today is a very special day for me, but that doesn't mean I stop thinking.


When your theism is outwardly silent, my atheism will be as well. Merry Christmas.

So, Conway tries mightily to gloss it over but ends - as she always does - by saying, "Oops, Mr Trump didn't really mean that..."  Which I'm sure will come as a great relief to all of us as we try to dig out from under the steaming pile of Trump's awesomeness.

Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing. 
--Sylvia Plath

Hope's Fading Glimmer

Donald Trumps inauguration line-up has become a joke, with no big-name stars accepting his invitation to play the esteemed gig (tickets for which cost $350).
Previously, it was revealed Elton John, country star Garth Brooks, and opera singer Andrea Bocelli had all turned down the President-elect’s celebratory bash.
We can now add Celine Dion of decliners. According to The Wrap, Las Vegas hotelier Steve Wynn promised Trump the "Power of Love” singer would make an appearance, but failed to deliver.

So far, it has been confirmed that 16-year-old Jackie Evancho, an America’s Got Talent contest, will play the “Make America Great! Welcome Celebration”.
I've always tho't there must surely be something redeeming about Celine Dion, but I could never find it - but hey, maybe that's it.
