A Synopsis Of This Morning's News... H/t to ChrisM my MP3Angel for supplying the audio files.
[After the commentary the Roy Zimmerman and the Foremen want to remind you of what Christmas is REALLY about. Courtesy of the respective artists and KPIG Radio Freedom California Earth.] «o»The hot potato just emerged from the campfire - In a one minute vote the senate sent the two month tax deduction, unemployment benefit, Medicare bill, back to the house. The house will come back into session for a similarly short time to pass it in a no objection possible vote as well if House Speaker Boerner can get his caucus in line. Details.
«o»The Justice Department has moved on Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio and told ninety two of his officers they are fired. What's left of the department can no longer enforce US immigration policy. This comes in the wake of a DOJ report that showed three times the harassment of brown skinned people compared to the 'white folk'. Did I mention the good sheriff also bragged about feeding his inmates on ten cents a day each? More.
«o»Twenty thousand nurses went on strike for one day in San Francisco yesterday along with two thousand more in Los Angeles and smaller strikes elsewhere in the state. Their only demand... No... Not pay or bennies... Staffing! MORE NURSES ON THE FLOOR! As of today the returning nurses have been locked out. That means EVEN LESS NURSES ON THE FLOOR today, and extended Christmas holiday for the returning strikers.
«o»The situation in Egypt is deteriorating while today's protests are dedicated to Egyptian women protesters who have been abused and sometimes raped by military and other government agents.
«o»Even as an Arab League fact-finding team comes to town there have been two car bombings outside military and intelligence headquarters in Damascus Syria leaving fourteen dead and twenty five or so wounded.
In OTHER News:
It didn't go as intended... IF there ever was the intention of bringing peace and stability to Iraq at all.
BAGHDAD, IRAQ — On almost every corner in Iraq's capital city, carolers are singing, trees are being trimmed, and shoppers are rushing home with their packages—all under the watchful eye of U.S. troops dedicated to bringing the magic of Christmas to Iraq by force.

"It's important that life in liberated Iraq get back to normal as soon as possible," said Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz at a press conference Monday. "That's why we're making sure that Iraqis have the best Christmas ever—something they certainly wouldn't have had under Saddam Hussein's regime."
To that end, 25,000 troops from the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment and 82nd Airborne Division have been deployed.
Their missions include the distribution of cookies and eggnog at major Iraqi city centers, the conscription of bell-ringers from among the Iraqi citizenry, and the enforcement of a new policy in which every man, woman, and child in Baghdad pays at least one visit to 'Twas The Night... On Ice. [Satire... At the Onion]
