Snake Oil

Nyquil… “the nightime sniffling sneezing coughing aching stuffyhead fever so you can rest medicine.”
More appropriate, I think, is “the knock you just far enough on your butt so that the symptoms just don’t bother you and you can get some sleep… and sleep you will — far more than you planned or wanted… medicine.”
At least I’m well-rested. But I imagine the people down the street are complaining today about the odd coughing noises that kept them up all night.

Just Plain “Ass”

Here’s someone who’s going to get coal in his stocking:

A 17-year-old is accused of firing a pellet gun from a second-story window, hitting a man dressed as Santa Claus on Monday night. Police said the boy confessed.

Maybe the ACLU will defend the poor oppressed-by-Judeo-Christian-symbology kid in Santa Court. He may be an insufferable jerk, but doesn’t he have a right to get a stocking full of goodies?
