This will be our last week of blogs before our Christmas vacation; we will be back On January 13th.

However, in some weird way I suppose it is appropriate to lead off this week’s blogs with the story that seems to be preoccupying everyone’s attention: the drones flying all over New Jersey, and now, elsewhere around the country as well. As I write this, there are now reports coming in from Europe (the United Kingdumb, as one of our regular UK contributors likes to call it). I suppose there is something fitting about seeing strange objects in the sky this season. After all, according to the myth of the season, a fat man dressed in red with a big white beard flies around in a sleigh led by reindeer delivering presents to the worthy, and in some versions of the myth, lumps of coal to the unworthy.  Perhaps that’s the point. But we’ll get back to that, because in a weird sort of way it highlights today’s high octane speculation.
