Ann Althouse said...: I think that's the new face that should replace "sparrow face" for 2014.

I know it's impossible to do as a selfie, but get your friends to photograph you looking back over your right shoulder, mouth open in eagerness and one bright eye showing.; 10/17/13, 1:32 PM

It's a specific, very well-known breed.; 10/17/13, 2:40 PM
lemondog said...: Malamute?

...looking back over your right shoulder, mouth open in eagerness and one bright eye showing.

It is that turn of the ear that would give most of us difficulty.; 10/17/13, 3:01 PM

Ann Althouse said...: I think it's 40 acres.; 10/17/13, 5:47 PM
David said...: Hard to tell about the other half. I'm guessing Husky because of the face but the coat does not have any Husky in it.; 10/17/13, 6:15 PM
David said...: It's a 40 Acre Dog. I knew it!; 10/17/13, 6:15 PM

Almost Ali said...: I see, the humans don't want to play. And I thought "Nancy Belagosi" would be like throwing a ball to Zeus.; 10/17/13, 10:04 PM

You tell us, Bob. You're a fountain of wisdom and ace political analysis, after all.; 10/17/13, 10:11 PM
The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...: I've never tried to learn to play a musical instrument but I've decided to give the banjo a shot at the age of 53. Not sure why I've chosen the banjo as I have no particular love for country or bluegrass. I think I have an indefinite nostalgia for an agrarian past that I've never really experienced (and probably never really existed).; 10/17/13, 10:24 PM
Guildofcannonballs said...: The one single time I was about to rejoice in my forced purchase of the 4th gen Ipad was when I clicked on "show image" to view the little rascal turd and was lead to a page which contained the answer to the posed previously question.

Then I read extended comments and the answer Beagle had been revealed already.

So this 4th gen sucks. Doesn't allow me to be me.

I GOTS TO BE ME.; 10/17/13, 11:43 PM

Open G tuning--what's not to like? You can always riff on RS songs. Be sure to learn some Scruggs rolls. They are very soothing to play, but maybe not so much to listen to.; 10/18/13, 12:19 AM
Guildofcannonballs said...: I looked down on S. King. Because he wrote "full auto" with regards to a 1911 which is semi.

I wrote "click" but I touched the Ipad.

I didn't click (with) no one or nothing.

But by God I know S.King was wrong there.; 10/18/13, 1:44 AM

Regarding:

MICHAEL BARONE: Washington Is Partisan: Get Used To It. “America’s Midcentury Moment was just that ... The Midcentury Moment emerged as the result of three unexpected developments, two of them unwelcome—depression, war, postwar prosperity—and was communicated through the language of an unusually vivid and unusually universal popular culture. ...

Mr. Barone is a renowned expert on American history. It's funny that he failed to say that immigration into the USA was restricted from 1926 through 1965. 1926 through 1965 ... wasn't that part of America’s Midcentury zenith? An "unusually universal popular culture"? Why was America like that back then? What a big mystery.
