This week in the saga

Christmas comes to the besieged house — the lights dark, one window still burning — and from within the shutdown he sends the nation a simple greeting. In secret he flies across the world to a floodlit desert airbase to stand among his troops and calls it an honor, then back home needles his critics that even his predecessor keeps a tall wall around his own mansion. The year turns with the siege unbroken, and he sends his New Year's word to friend and foe alike.
