More Christmas spoilery, this time from the LA Times:

"There's a 70% chance that L.A. may get its first wet Christmas since 1983."

First the mad cow, than this. Next thing you know, they're going to say that candy canes are dangerous killing instruments (have you ever sucked a candy cane so that the end is a dangerous point? Then you know what I mean) and that Santa isn't real.

Oh, wait.
