No Fluke!

Andrea Mitchell breaks the news that Sandra Fluke received a call from President Bush.
Ed Schultz gives it to Bill O'Reilly for defending Rush. (SF)
Rachel Maddow is giving it to Andrea Mitchell and Sandra Fluke, and Rush and Romney as well, but of course not in the same way.
Romney and Rush don't understand much*, and laughter may be the best medicine but they don't know it or humor from shinola, let alone energy or diplomacy.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the News Stand

Before I entered Half-Priced Books***, I told myself I would not pick up anything on a whim, or rather only if it had some extra-ordinary significance.(loosely paraphrasing.)* And what do I find right on top of the bargain rack at the door? The mother of all bargains. It was a pristine copy of a very interesting book for only two dollars. It's title, The Demon Slayers and other stories: Bengali Folk Tales.

It was not till I got home that I found even more about the book. Not only was it a first edition, it was autographed by both authors. Just what is the significance beyond the luck of such a find? Well in a Pop Culture, it is related to the mother of all cultures. Not history or her story but our story.

* in my last visit I found a new edition of Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith
(mean while under Division of Labor I find the roots of an evolutionary social process)

And other follow-up: Go Rick Go! or Read my lips [!]
(sic)[?], puke, water-bored?, parsing?, snob... Rollin' on the River**

** pun on Ed*** in (sic) Rollins 'n F'n d-now.
** Ed Rollins, not that all "F" are ineffable or pro-feign.(alternate asterisk)

*** to pass through to the news stand in the mall
