Friction and Harmony

Somehow, I won’t be a bit surprised if this kid is right on the money…

UPDATE: Video fixed – thanks DD!

The Christmas Season is upon us!  Oh, the sights, the sounds…  Christmas decorations, sparkling lights and carols.  Santa’s elves in their brightly-colored tights and pointy hats going all jihadi on his red-velvet-wrapped ass…

Seriously, this has to be the best seasonal AP headline ever.:

Oh, and hey – it’s lunchtime!

Here’s an estrogen – testosterone juxtaposition if I ever saw one:
