Getting a Leg Up 0
Oh, my.
The travelling (sic) dinosaur exhibition discovered on Sunday that its Diplodocus model was missing one of its four legs. The massive leg was strapped to a trailer along with the other pieces of the model on Saturday night but on Sunday it was gone.
That puts me in the mood for a song . . . .
Parsing the Polls (Can “Unskewed Polls” Be Far Behind?) 0
Remember as you listen that the Young Turks were berning for Bernie. (They are young and innocent enough to believe that. after 150 years of unrelenting anti-socialist propaganda in this country, an avowed socialist, however benign his brand of socialism, would have had a chance in a general election.) Hints of that Bernie bern come out in their commentary.

Let’s Call It the “Sinatra Syndrome” 0
Shorter Charlotte Rampell: Pols say, “It’s my way and I’ll get it if want to.”
Afterthought:
Rampell must have received her official Villager membership card and secret decoder ring. She just could not resist starting out with, “Both sides do it,” even though they don’t. Remember, a difference in degree can be large enough to indeed be a difference in kind.
