Merry Christmas!

I’ll be celebrating with Ackerman in Chinatown watching The Good Shepherd and eating fried noodles, but I’d like to wish a merry Christmas to all the goyim of the world. Meanwhile, the Christmas Eve seen at the Black Cat was disappointingly lively — nothing like the deadness of last December for some reason. What’s more, their jukebox no longer features “Fairytale of New York” which sort of ruined the whole thing.

On a more substantive note, wouldn’t complaints about Iranian interference in Iraq be more credible were the country not currently occupied by 130,000 or so American soldiers? I mean, if Iran conquered Canada, I assume we’d try and put some agents in place on the ground.
