The eclectic Bulldog Video Wheel begins the week with the challenge of keeping track of all those Amazon boxes being plopped down on doorsteps this season. Then, Hallmark has had trouble making up its mind about two same-sex brides kissing in a commercial. Below that, the size of Boris Johnson’s UK election victory is just beginning to hit home. Finally, December 16 begins Beethoven 250. The great German composer and defender of personal freedom was born this day in 1770. Long after Beethoven’s death, the British delighted in poking Hitler in the eye each evening by introducing their daily news to occupied Europe with the rousing Fifth Symphony.
