Hell is just a little bit fuller tonight.
True Story. It was May of my junior year in college, and a few of us were watching the news in a friend's dorm room. There was a story regarding the death of an aged relative of a political figure, a Truman perhaps. As only 20 year olds who fashion themselves as cynics can do, we mocked the report. Who cares, she was 90 report real news, that sort of thing. The very next story was of the death of Bob Marley. We were struck with the perhaps induced by substance realization the we killed Bob Marley: God had taken him in revenge for our mocking the death of another human being. I am reminded of this because God has taken revenge on my mocking Kissinger's death with this:

Of course, Kristy is dead these 23 years now.

I might as well point out that I consider everything about the Pogues's debut full length second album to be perfect, from the title (Rum, Sodom and the Lash) to the cover with the band member's heads swapped into The Raft of the Medusa, mutilated genitalia and all; from the epic Sick Bed of Cuchulainn to the best version of the Australian national anthem, And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda. It was like the Chieftains had become addicted to speed and developed an intractable drinking problem.

All the candidates but Joe Biden admit there is a crisis because of his liberal open door policy interpretation. Marching in the street for Hamas where did they come from? Inflation and spending because of aliens why? American citizens sleeping in the streets in order to make room for newcomers why? The myth that millions and millions of workers are needed huh! Cheap labor to destroy unions are not needed.

Indeed.
100% exactly correct, couldn't have put it better myself.

It must be very disheartening for many Americans.

A functioning party of ideas would propose a policy, put forward legislation and work out a fix with people who have a different view. This version of Repos just wants to use the issue for political ends, not fix it. And blaming the other party for their inaction is part of that.

The post-policy platform is where fascism really incubates. 

Catching up with posts, saw your Hell got fuller comment.  Also, Heaven getting some good Celtic punk vocals today, with Shane McGowan.

Died saving her son's life.  The powerboat owner did not receive justice imo.

Apparently Saudi Arabia is still going to normalise relations with Israel, after the war is over.
And as such so are the other Arab countries in the region, except maybe Iran.
It was either US General Jack, or another expert told Sky News last night.
They also said that the Arab world is running a mile from Hamas, that Hamas went way too far with its attacks, atrocities, and kidnappings against Israel.
Yesterday in Jerusalem, two men (suspected Hamas) got out of a car and shot 3 people dead at a bus stop.
Time to build walls in Jerusalem, deport people, separate people by secure walls.

Try having all people have a happy Christmas. Because they do not and forced conviviality is not helpful. But there is a reason why The Apartment is my favorite Christmas movie.
