Politics: December 2005 Archives

Predictably, people are talking the "keep the Christ in Christmas talk" which is followed by Young Joel's annual "keep the Saturn in Saturnalia talk."

Ironically enough, some churches are cancelling their Sunday morning service because Sunday happens to inconveniently fall on Christmas Day. You can read an article on it in the NYTimes. (Sorry you'll have to register or something and this link will prolly only work for a week or so --talk to the NY Times about it.)

When Christmas Falls on Sunday, Megachurches Take the Day Off

You can add my church to the list. Good thing people are used to Easter falling on a Sunday.

Reminds me I haven't posted the link to the "Keep the Chan in Chanuka" t-shirt.

You've seen me post about the freedom to travel before. Here is another case that deserves scrutiny, checkout Deborah Davis,  Want to Ride, Papers Please. I'm shocked that anyone in the situation described would ever challenge the official asking for ID since most people are obedient to authority figures.

There is another hearing in the Gilmore case coming up you might want to check out. In the notice for the court date is says, "Friends and supporters of John are welcome to attend this historic hearing, but are asked to please dress appropriately for court." I need to have more friends who would need this sort of advice. I hope this case goes all the way to the Supreme Court. I hate secret regulations.
