1. The reality show continues

Onward to the bitter end.

2. Who gives a shit?

It's not like they have any involvement outside of the optics anyway. It's so phony, just as well. I hope nobody covers it and nobody watches whatever they hawk after the fact.

3. The lighting always draws a huge crowd.

WTOP, the local all-news station, warns people about the lighting so they can avoid the jammed streets. I don't go to the lighting, but I've managed to see the tree itself, all lit up, for the last few years.

4. I hope some electrician mistakenly mis-wired the lights

And the tree bursts into flames as Shitbag throws the switch.
