I was trying to decide whether or not I wanted to get on air tonight, but ultimately I did. It was good to see a lot of people in the chat on the day after Christmas, which is always a really draggy day of the year; and in New York it was compounded by a cold rain.

We talk a little Christmas, and a little Tumblr recasting legendary films to fit diversity quotas, and just a touch of George Michael. Max calls in to talk about the astronomical evidence used to narrow down the more realistic day and time of Jesus' birth, so that was fun to listen to. Then we finally hit up the NDAA 2017 and what was slipped in as the first legislative salvo fired in what will become the War on Fake News.

I promise you this. This rest of the week is going to be light, and odd news, and calls, and other stuff. As Gadgetdoc pointed out, we have been going hard all year, every night, and it is time to recharge. We're all tired of the same shit. So, we'll have fun until Thursday and we'll take Friday night off to seal up 2016 and throw it into the vault.
