Always willing to temper holiday cheer I watched the 1977 French film The Devil, Probably. Dripping with ennui, turns it out captures the perfect ethos of getting through the holiday season.
The image found at UofM which is reported as 'antisemitic'. For the record I don’t think any name on any building is safe. Our wealth is built off the poverty of others. Our security is proportional to the violence we have been willing to inflict.

I really loved this string of posts ... but apparently no one else did.
