My two-year-old threw a kaleidoscope at Santa Claus today.The holiday misanthrope in me is somewhat proud of that.
— Paige at the Avery Lane Experience, remembering that one of the true joys of Christmas is letting your babychild just be a babychild, eyeballs of part-time shopping mall elves be damned.

Late last night in the Ponce Kroger parking lot, a white-haired man approached me and told me Shirley Franklin would arrest him if he asked me anything. When I told him I didn’t have any cash, he told me he could have found me a better black mayor in 1969. He then said some other things I couldn’t really understand but I think implicated me in Mayor Franklin’s ascendancy to office and her subsequent vendetta against this man. “She ain’t my mayor,†he said a few times as he wandered off.
— Christa at PecanneLog. The white-haired man — we hope — was not Jim Wooten.
