How Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was invented by a department store ad writer (and was almost named Reginald or Romeo)

~





This first edition of Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer, bottom, and original layout, top, are from the estate of Robert May, who wrote the famous story in 1939 as part of a Montgomery Ward marketing campaign

You know Dasher and Dancer and the rest of the gang. But do you recall, the most 'Perfect Christmas Crowd-Bringer' of all?

That's how executives at Montgomery Ward originally described Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, who first appeared in a 1939 book written by one of the company's advertising copywriters and given free to children as a way to drive traffic to the stores.

In birthplace of Jesus, the exodus of Christians continues

In the land that put Christ in Christmas, Christianity is shrinking

Less than a century ago, Christians comprised nearly 10 percent of the population of Palestine (now Israel and the Palestinian territories).

In 1946, the figure was around 8 percent.

Today, Christians make up about 4 percent of the West Bank’s population.
In Israel, though Christians make up 10 percent of its Palestinian population, they only constitute 2.5 percent of the total population.

In Gaza, the Christian minority is even smaller, representing just 1 percent of the population.

One major factor in the decline of Christianity here: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Mysterious metal 'space ball' crashes down in Namibia grasslands

~





A National Forensic Science Institute photo shows a giant metallic ball that is 14 inches wide and weighs 13 pounds that fell out of the sky on a remote grassland in Namibia. Baffled authorities contacted NASA and the European Space Agency Wednesday.

A strange metal ball dropped out of the sky and slammed into the remote grassland of northern Namibia recently, according to press reports.

The 14-inch-wide (35-centimeter) metallic sphere hit the ground about 480 miles (750 kilometers) north of Windhoek, the African country's capital. It left a crater 13 inches (33 cm) deep and 12.5 feet (3.8 meters) across, the Agence-France Presse (AFP) reported Thursday.

The metal "space ball" weighs 13 pounds (6 kilograms). It has a rough surface and appears to consist of two halves that were welded together, according to AFP.

As a Liberal blogger, I have posted almost 10,000 articles covering every aspect of American politics and the US government tuning more and more into a fascist dictatorship, assassinating Americans, detaining Americans with no charges or trials and torturing Americans. All the methods we abhorred when done by the Soviet Union and other dictatorships.

Yet, when I check my blog's stats, the most popularly read articles, of almost 10,000, are:

Is The CIA and Mossad Inciting Sectarian Violence In Order For Iraq To Beg The US To Return?

~

Dick Cheney's Halliburton and other Military Industrial Complex companies will loose billions of dollars if the Iraq occupation doesn't continue or if another land invasion (like Iran and Syria) doesn't happen soon.

The American troops are still right next door in Kuwait and can return in a moment's notice, if Iraq gets on it's knees and begs.

Iraq gripped by sectarian crisis as 57 killed in wave of bombings.

More than 50 people were killed today in a wave of bombings across the Iraqi capital Baghdad, in a worsening of the political and sectarian crisis that has struck the country since American troops pulled out.
