jimbino said...: As Paulos of Innumeracy would say, "The chances of that coincidence are 100%, since it in fact happened." Any other talk of odds is meaningless, since every one of us daily experiences coincidence of rare events that can somehow be linked. That people can't stop silly talk about "odds" is just another symptom of our innumerate society.; 6/10/07, 11:51 AM

Wasn't it Althouse who was saying she likes to keep a spare side of beef, just in case company comes?

Uh-oh.; 6/10/07, 1:24 PM

Hey, everyone, let's all go look in our freezers. Lord only knows what's lurking in there.; 6/10/07, 1:28 PM

It's bad enough reading this drivel. Listen? No way.

This is a blog. It's for writing. Put your thoughts on the Libby case on your blog for people to read.

Why is that so hard?; 6/10/07, 1:38 PM

I feel your pain. Whenever I read a blog entry about The Sopranos, I expect to find a reference to Scooter Libby. Who doesn't?

Dave said...: My Sopranos prediction for tonight:

Tony Soprano will awake with a start and realize the past 10 years have really been a very bad, convoluted nightmare. We see him awake to a thoroughly pedestrian, white collar existence, in which he is a real estate lawyer on Long Island, and his wife is Dr. Melfi. Carmela is an amalgamation of various ex-girlfriends of his from adolescence and college.

Exeunt omnes.; 6/10/07, 6:00 PM
