Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The Real War On Christmas

 The Orthodox Church of Ukraine is moving its celebration of Christmas to December 25th.  As we have a Ukrainian student staying with us, he has explained that January 7th is when Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendars celebrate Christmas. By moving the date, Ukraine is signaling a further break with Russia and a closer commitment to Europe.

But tell me again how insulted you are when someone says Happy Holidays.
