This classic airs tonight at 7pm CST on ABC. Morning Edition had a story this morning focusing on Vince Guaraldi, the pianist and composer behind the music in the special. From the “Related NPR Stories” section, it looks like they do some sort of story related to this special every December. It’s certainly a prominent holiday memory for me, even though it had already been around for at least 6 or 7 years before I first saw it. We’ve got a cold front coming later this week, so maybe I’ll start to feel some of that holiday spirit between this and the KUT Holiday Sing-along this Saturday.

The newsfeed laugh of the day for today goes to Scott Adams, whose blog may be funnier than his strip:

Anyway, I know I feel more comfortable with the Pope in Turkey. When it comes to handling delicate matters affecting the survival of the planet, you want to send in the 79-year old German guy with a Marge Simpson hat, a history of talking directly to God, and seven decades of sperm backup. I don’t see how that could go wrong.
