Bury Christmas

People die every day. Tragedy strikes somewhere every day. We know that. But what about on the glorious birthday of our Lord and Savior? Do we get a reprieve? Not on your life, sucker!

Yesterday's headlines:

Killer storms wipe out at least 15 in the Southeast.

Top Syrian rebel killed in airstrike. (Well, does this count?)

Death of couple found in SUV deemed suspicious.

Body discovered in U-Haul.

Strong earthquake rocks northeast Afghanistan.

Carbon monoxide poising claims 2 on Christmas morning.

Mother and 3 kids killed in Big Bear fire.

Steam temporarily crashes. (Hey, this is major!)


BTW, no double header since finding pertinent news items from a year ago is near impossible on the ever-ephemeral internet. So you got the above and must be satisfied with that. Now go home and eat your figgy pudding or whatnot. Just don't choke on it.
