There’s a special place in Hell

For a guy who disguises himself as Santa Claus in order to commit mass murder.

From the article:

A distraught man dressed as Santa Claus opened fire at a Christmas Eve party and then apparently set the house ablaze, killing at least three people, police officials said. Several hours later, the shooter killed himself.

"Distraught?" Gee, what was the first clue?

OK, I said no more blogging today, but I couldn't let this one pass.

Merry Christmas, one and all

No blogging today. Get away from your computers and enjoy the day, instead.

And, just because I love this music, presenting the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah, performed by the Ambrosian Singers:

 

I’m not religious, but I’ve often felt that the experience of the concert hall is the closest we come to being in a secular cathedral.

Merry Christmas!
