Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

"A strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures."

This is probably the last time I'm checking in before I head to Iowa again. I want to leave with what may be a bit of Grinchiness, though; I've told people that my favorite holiday is Ash Wednesday, and I more or less stand by that. While I spend some of my driving time running numbers, I do listen to the radio sometimes as well — my brother, in private communication, is right, "skater boy" is more frantic than I'd remembered — and there's one Christmas song I just occasionally hear but feel the need to comment on. This song features a singer expressing the hope to Santa that she'll get what she deserves this year; I wish to remind everyone that the point of Christmas is that we enjoy the great privelege of not getting what we deserve because the birthday boy indemnified us. God loves you anyway, even though you don't deserve it.


Merry Christmas.
