News digest

Or should that be "news to digest"? I suppose not, since I don't have any weird food items this time around.

What I do have is the story of an anonymous California state worker who belongs in the Curmudgeon Hall of Fame's Picky Grammarian section -- hold a spot for me, would you?

Plus, this important news about why Santas in Sydney, Australia have been asked to change the way they greet customers. Could someone please send these folks a nice big bale of common sense? Yikes.
