Noddy and the boys wish you the compliments of the season.
Yeah, it’s NOIZEE, what did you expect from Slade? It’s still better than the worst Christmas song ever, i.e. Elvis Presley’s Blue Christmas.

As the busy holiday travel season gets underway, millions of travelers flock to the nation’s major airports. This comes as a big shock to some of the nation’s major airlines, which apparently had not been informed that the holidays can be a busy travel time. As one distraught airline executive put it: “Suddenly all these people just showed up with tickets they apparently purchased from us. How in God’s name is anybody supposed to plan for THAT?” — Dave Barry
Wheeeee what fun!
Translation: We were going to lose our asses with all those cheap tickets we sold for Christmas, so here’s a handy excuse to get rid of them.
Feel free to change my mind.

Apparently, Bette Midler caused something of a stir when in having a snit about Sen. Joe Manchin’s refusal to go along with the BBB lunacy, she said bad things about the people of West Virginia:

Cautionary Tale
A week or so ago, I talked about the Great Resignation. Now the excellent City Journal has this to say about that:
Younger workers opting to work less or to put in only the minimum effort may pay a future price in terms of stagnation or downward mobility. Workers receive the most pay raises in their twenties and thirties. This is also when people acquire the skills and contacts that pay off for the rest of their careers. One’s early years are not an ideal time to stay away from work, even considering the challenges that today’s younger workers face. Some jobs are certainly harder than others—especially when you’re learning skills and occupy a low rung in the workplace hierarchy. But opting out early only makes it more likely that work won’t get better later on.
All true.
