SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:43 P.M. ET: 

GEEZ – If true, what an embarrassment.  From The Politico:  "FBI agents investigating the Sony Pictures hack were briefed Monday by a security firm that says its research points to laid-off Sony staff, not North Korea, as the perpetrator — another example of the continuing whodunit blame game around the devastating attack.  Even the unprecedented decision to release details of an ongoing FBI investigation and President Barack Obama publicly blaming the hermit authoritarian regime hasn’t quieted a chorus of well-qualified skeptics who say the evidence just doesn’t add up."  The official U.S. Government position is that North Korea did it.  Of course, the official U.S. Government position is that President Obama's election would make the oceans recede.  More coming on this.

HOW SAD – From Breitbart:  "In a brawl apparently instigated using social media, a thousand or more young teen black girls descended on Monroeville Mall outside Pittsburgh Friday night, resulting in the mall being closed as a massive brawl broke out. An investigation is ongoing, including via social media, although no arrests were reportedly made at the time.  Many of the teens used their phones to capture video of the events and that too is now making the rounds via social media."  Unless these social pathologies are dealt with, black America will be stuck in a tragic downward spiral.  Pat Moynihan warned about this a half century ago.  For his troubles he was called a racist.

MILESTONE – From Reuters:  "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. population is seen at 320.09 million people as of Jan. 1, up 0.73 percent from a year earlier, the Census Bureau said on Monday.  The Census Bureau said in a statement that the figure represents an increase of about 11.35 million people, or 3.67 percent, since the last population count on April 1, 2010.  'In January 2015, the U.S. is expected to experience a birth every eight seconds and one death every 12 seconds. Meanwhile, net international migration is expected to add one person to the U.S. population every 33 seconds,' the Census Bureau said."  At least we're reproducing our population.  Most of the West European nations aren't, and they will eventually fade away, or become Islamicized. 

IT'S GLOBAL WARMING – From Accuweather:  "As cold air continues to plunge southward in the West, a storm will produce rare New Year's Eve and New Year's Day snow for Las Vegas, the Mojave Desert and the mountains in the region.  Pack some warm clothes and perhaps winter boots if you are heading to the Southwest for the New Year's holiday. Motorists heading over the mountains should expect delays due to snow-covered roads.  Soon after snow falls on parts of the central Rockies and Plains, a new winter storm will develop over the Southwest states."  When will we ever show proper respect for Al Gore?
