  Random Esquire — Authority: 423
  1.  I heard Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer today.  I just gotta ask, when is there ever a warm, moist air mass moving over the North Pole on Christmas Eve?  Is fog really an issue at the North Pole?  So I decided to figure it out.  Turns out that because the air is so bitterly cold, it takes a really small ...

• No surprises in Waco in Latino/GOP dispute

  
  The South Chicagoan — Authority: 117
