The [Christmas Eve 2014] PapersOver the transom. 1. "Need some xmas dinner conversation topics?" Why, yes, Verso Books! Something safe to discuss with the in-laws. "All books on Israel/Palestine are 50% off through Dec. 31st!" Perfect. * 2. The Illinois GOP's War on Christmas continues. * 3. The Trews. Previously: The Trews vs. Sainsbury's Xmas Advert. * * 5. ICYMI: A few of my not-so-favorite things. Bonus carol: Here come the Bears, there go the Bears - BeachBook "The River North icon has lasted 25 years under different names, including Excalibur and Limelight." * The Other Torture Report: The Secret CIA Document That Could Unravel The Case For Torture. Shows that, internally, the CIA agrees with its critics. * Juan Williams' Son On Why He Became A Republican. The answer: My father grew up poor and liberal programs helped him attain wealth. I grew up rich and conservative programs will help me retain wealth. Also: I learned the exact wrong lessons from my father's upbringing. * Off Duty, Black Cops In New York Feel Threat From Fellow Police. Localize, please. * Rex Grossman Turns Down The Browns. Rex Grossman is our quarterback. * Johnny Manziel Does His Job Better Than Sportswriters Do Theirs. "Sports reporters are often like a dumb herd of sheep, heading all in the same direction for reasons they don't understand." News reporters too. * Wealthy Donors Sided With Democrats In Midterms. That's the matter with Kansas. * Why Do Cable News Shows Use So Many Celebrity 'Experts'? What this article gets wrong is blaming an abundance of airtime to fill. Even a 24-hour-a-day news network can't possibly cover everything newsworthy going on in the world. That's a cop-out. The real answer: These aren't news shows, they are entertainment shows milking "news" for material. - TweetWood
