But really, it’s never stopped us from posting before.
The ombuds has been on vacation, and undertaking a self-imposed break from most political news and a large portion of the blogs, apart from the brave bastion of silliness that is 3Bulls! As I write this, I am sitting in my pajamas (this could perhaps be construed as HNT, but for the lack of pugs and red track suits) drinking espresso and eating homemade cookies for breakfast.
Really, it’s just because it’s the Fourth of July, and I felt like loafing for a change. Hence, this post. Yes, it’s even more half-assed than usual but it’s been that kind of week. Most likely, very few of you will read this today, being patriotic types who are preoccupied with cookouts, fireworks, and first degree burns, which at least gives us time to reconsider the wisdom of handing the keys over in the first place. At least we get time-and-a-half for posting today.
But back to business.
This site, as always, has been a source of much mirth in the past few days, and we are pleased to see the commenters flexing their muscles as required. In particular, the skilled hijacking of our previous column into a contest that was declared and won in very short order.
(speaking of short order, there has been a pronounced lack of pork snorkel recently. We ask that the situation be cured at the Editors’ earliest convenience)
As is becoming standard, prizes will be awarded based on the same system or the most amusing permutation thereof, pending ratification by the Central Committee. As the committee has never hosted the number of geese required for quorum, this may take some time. Nevertheless, commenters are encouraged, as always, to use this thread for their own nominations and other nefarious purposes.
