For every action there’s a reaction. – Javier Ortiz
Here we are mid-month, and still few Christmas links worth repeating despite the fact that decorations have been up since before Thanksgiving. So to counterbalance the first video (in which a cop stupidly admits on record that he’s going to file false charges against a cop’s daughter who was uploading the whole incident to the internet as it transpired), I present more heavy metal Christmas music from Christopher Lee (courtesy of Michael Whiteacre). Nobody contributed more than one link, so I’ve collected the unattributed ones above the first video; those between the videos were provided by Cliterati, Jillian Keenan, Mike Siegel, Eric Barry, Rick Horowitz, Radley Balko, and Clarissa (in that order).
