But so desperate, it seems, is the EU to halt illegal migration into the

2017 In Review: A Hell Bound Train Of A Year (Part 1)

It's Christmas!
Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 19 hours ago
May the blessings of this season of grace be yours, dear reader. If you
don't believe in the reason for the season, may you have a wonderful,
relaxing holiday anyway. I'll still say a prayer for all of you. I don't
suppose it'll hurt!
Those of you who've enjoyed Larry Correia's 'Christmas Noun' stories can
find the latest one on his blog, along with links to all the previous
stories. Enjoy!
And, on a musical note for the holiday, how about 'Dueling Jingle Bells'?
Normal blogging will resume tomorrow.

Happy Saturnalia!
Gryphen at The Immoral Minority - 19 hours ago
I actually typically have no problem wishing people a Merry Christmas.
But since Trump decided to brag about bringing Christmas back, I simply had
to defy that orange tinted, anus mouthed, POS.
Besides of course Saturnalia was the true holiday before those uptight
Christians hijacked it in order to spread their capitalist religion around
the world.
And it might never have taken off quite as well if Clement Clarke Moore had
not written that poem in 1823, and Coca Cola had not altered the look of
St. Nick from this rather grim looking fellow...

Groomer recreates nativity scene with dogs – and a puppy in a manger
White Wolf at White Wolf - 19 hours ago
A groomer had their own take on the traditional nativity scene when instead
of using porcelain figurines, they posed dogs.
The display was the work of Jo Kingston, who owns Wags to Riches Pet
Services of Leicestershire, England, as she posed six pups wearing towels

Inside the manger was the tiniest pup playing baby Jesus.

Scientists capture mysterious hum from deep inside the Earth - but no one knows what it is
arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
So far we now have actual confirmation and that it can be cleanly detected

listening posts and to winkle out as many secondary activities as possible
and to even usefully map those.
Such a grid will also provide an excellent background to normal seismic
measurement as well simply because we will have a sphere of data points all
