From El Reg:

A top divorce lawyer has warned that adulterous couples are increasingly getting caught out over text messages and other electronic communication sent during the Christmas period.

“It is really very sad,” Ayesha Vardag, dubbed Britain’s top divorce lawyer by the Law Society, told The Telegraph.

“We find a lot is that there are a lot of text message ‘bustings’ on Christmas Day, usually because the husband leaves the phone around and the mistress is sending messages. It is amazing how many times that is what catches people out.”

MarketWatch’s John Shinal thinks it’s not a big deal:

I remember, and that’s why I think the looming fiscal cliff has become the new Y2K, with its predictions of gloom and doom in the economic world once the calendar turns to Jan. 1, 2013.

Yet a funny thing happened to Y2K on its way to making mayhem: Companies and governments prepared for it. When the feared date finally arrived, it was close to a nonevent.

The villain known as the fiscal cliff now has less than a month left as a media star. The fear of it will have been worse, I believe, than the passing of the thing itself.

The scariest thing about the fiscal cliff is its name. Aside from that, it’s Congress-made problem that can be solved by Congress, if Congress has the guts to stand up to the wingnut right.

It is ironic that the biggest argument against Christianity is the conduct of those who most loudly proclaim their own Christian-ness.

The NRA’s Promised Land Is Just Across the River 0

I go away for one day, one damn day, to take my aunt some cheese straws for Christmas, and return to a new list of innocents dead of the politeness of an armed society.

These were actually lured into a trap and picked off like pigeons.

The NRA’s city on a hill is Dodge City. The hill, Boot Hill.

Republicans Are Agin’ Fedrul Spending 0

Except when they are for it.

GOV. CHRIS CHRISTIE is urging Congress to approve a $60.4 billion Hurricane Sandy aid package by the new year, while acknowledging Friday that New Jersey cannot afford to rebuild on its own.

“Nor would any state that suffered $37 billion in damages,” the governor said at a news conference in Newark on Friday.

You can’t have it both ways.

Unless you are a Republican.

It’s the AC/DC Party.
