A doofus Chilean miner is stuck down there again. The US adds 4 million new jobs, but in Saint Louis. And a brief reprieve from Mariah Carey's Christmas song comes to a resounding end.

Violent explosions rocked a Baghdad market today killing 54 Iraqi citizens in not our problem anymore. The blasts were timed to coincide with evening prayers and were evidently part of a coordinated attack aimed at look, they're just going to have to learn to deal with this themselves because we're out of there come January.
