Fresh outrage of the day: Fox News is upset that
someone wondered whether we couldn't make Santa imagery more
inclusive! Greg Dworkin notes the latest ACA figures according to
Brainwrap, who's basically "FiveThirtyEight-ing" (or maybe
"@Redistrict-ing") the numbers at ACAsignups.net. Also: the budget
deal and the continuing Gop civil war; movement on Guantanamo
closure; Katie Couric to revisit the HPV vaccine issue, this time
with science? Other stories: The fake (and possibly dangerous) sign
language interpreter from the Mandela memorial! Megyn Kelly's derpy
Santa Claus grousing. But while we're on the subject, how about an
anthropological look at where Santa's wacky red suit comes from?
Would you believe psychedelic mushrooms? TPM reports "GOPer Who'd
Only Lower Flags For Americans Was OK With Pope Tributes." Third
party pipe dreams. Eric Cantor finds a way to be a dick about
funding pediatric cancer research. David Dayen analyzes in Salon
how the budget deal takes yet another piece out of federal workers'
hides. Another tech startup dude-bro reveals himself as a giant
assbag.
