Perhaps CalTech/JPL/NASA can rally around a <i>Mikado</i> based theme??? As for ho ho ho and ha ha ha and all the hehehes in between, and the ever-flowing admonitions not withstanding, we are about to experience a tsunami of holiday rhetoric begging citizens of this country to try to shop their (our?) way out of the recession. Buy buy buy they beg, hoping against all hope that no one is actually paying attention when they stop for gasoline, or notice that this morning nearly all of the major package food corporations took a hit on their stock prices. Hard to sell cans of food that must be shipped across great distances at ever-increasing expenses. But hey, damn you all, shop till you drop; that is an order (probably coming soon from the White House Press Secretary i suspect).
