    Looks to me like they went to a 3D movie, saved the cardboard glasses, and took out the red and blue cellophane.

    It’s fun to run nekkid through one of TBogg’s offerings! Y’all come on in — the water’s fine!

    Mere coincidence? I’ll let you be the judge of that.

    It would be irresponsible not to speculate…

    I blame Tbogg for all of this.

    You must be new around here… As everyone knows, Obama is to blame for EVERYTHING. (Well, except for good stuff…)

    Yeah, but think about this: Picking out the one PARTICULAR PECULIAR fish in any given barrel is tough. I remain in awe of the mighty TBogg.

    Well, there’s always that nice librarian to help with spelling and such things. (Even if that poor librarian is paid with {GASP} taxes. Or aren’t we supposed to mention such embarrassing details…?)

    I blame Joe Lieberman.

    Good start! What else can we blame him for? Class? May I see a show of hands, please?

    Good morning, pups. Today we have Dowd and Friedman. MoDo is being a TV critic today. She has a question in “Serving Up Schlock:” Remember the “mad as hell” scene in “Network”? Something about the new offerings for the fall TV season brought that to mind. The Moustache of Wisdom is in Sanliurfa, Turkey. In “Tell Me How This Ends” he says a trip to Yemen, Syria and Turkey is illuminating, but also raises many questions.

    Here they are, and

    here’s Krugman’s blog.

    The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got a variety of bagels with cream cheese this morning. I think I’m going to head out to the back yard with some tea and revel in the jasmine. Also, the two beds of Easter lilies have burst into bloom. They don’t last long, so I’m going to enjoy them while I can. Have a great day.

    Good morning, pups. Today we have Brooks and Bruni. Bobo has so many hats! Today he’s wearing his linguist hat. In “What Our Words Tell Us” he informs us that gradual shifts in language use over the centuries reflect tectonic shifts in culture. It’s amazing what you can glean from Google, and of course there’s no link to the “study” he mentions… In “One School’s Catholic Teaching” Mr. Bruni says with just the briefest acknowledgement of her life partner, Carla Hale lost the job she’d loved for more than 18 years.

    Here they are, and

    here’s Krugman’s blog.

    The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got banana pancakes this morning. I’m sure that the tornadoes had NOTHING to do with climate change… (Channeling Inhofe makes my head hurt.) I just hope that someone carefully copies down all of his quotes on climate science on stiff paper, rolls the paper into a tight little tube and stuffs it up his nose. I’m off to get more tea and calm down. Have a great day.

    (As a bonus linky, Inhofe says climate change can’t happen because of the Bible. You can’t make this shit up, you know…)

    I don’t think there is even one in the pipeline now.

    Actually, there is, in limited trials. Keep your fingers crossed.

    Some of the black market here in Ohio for Liquor used to be because the state store system either didn’t have what you wanted or there wasn’t a nearby state store.

    Which explains Covington, KY, right across the bridge from Cincinnati. On the KY side of the bridge is nothing but liquor stores, still.

    I can envision him congratulating himself with an icy dry martini after finishing that piece. In related news, a major architect of NY’s drug policies has gone to his reward.

    Good morning, pups. Bill Keller is flying solo since Prof. Krugman is off today. In “How To Legalize Pot” Mr. Keller asks a question: Can you avoid black markets, drugged drivers and salmonella? Billy, I’d rather have buzzed drivers on the road than drunk drivers…

    Here he is, and

    here’s Krugman’s blog.

    The coffee and tea are ready, and the biscuits are out of the oven. Ugh. This morning is the first morning that it’s felt like summer may be around the corner, warm and very muggy. I was hoping we’d have a bit more spring, seeing as we had almost no winter at all… Have a great day.

    Good morning, pups. Today we have The Pasty Little Putz, Dowd, Friedman and Bruni. In “All the Lonely People” The Pasty Little Putz has a question: Is there a link between suicide and weakened social ties? This is a particularly poisonous little turd he’s created here, a lovely “blame the victim” essay. When he says “retreated … from full time paying work” please feel free to understand he should have said “fired” or “laid off.” Which should really happen to him. MoDo is still in her full-blown, snot-slinging hissy fit. In “Taxing Times for Obama” she says now comes the mess with the I.R.S. The president could use a little J.F.K., and a little Bulworth. Yeah, yeah, yeah, MoDo. Your stuff is sounding more and more like you have an awful, unrequited crush… The Moustache of Wisdom is in Tel Abyad, Syria. In “Without Water, Revolution” he says the Syrian disaster is like a superstorm. It’s what happens when drought, a fast-growing population, a repressive and corrupt government, and sectarian and religious passions combine. In “Show Us Your Woe” Mr. Bruni says from “American Idol” to American politics, it’s all about the suffering. And it’s exhausting.

    Here they are, and

    here’s Krugman’s blog.

    The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got French toast made with challah, with fresh berries on the side. Lordy, but Press the Meat seems particularly noxious this morning. Although it may be trumped by CNN and Faux Noise who bagged, respectively, Rand Paul and Paul Ryan. One wonders why these shows are still on… Have a great day.
