Welcome to our new visitors

It seems that this humble blog has a link at the New York Times page for Maureen Dowd's column today....to which I saw, "W00t!"

A warm welcome to those of you who are reading for the first time....I hope you'll enjoy what you find, get a dialogue going in the comments, and that you'll visit often. We open at 6:30 AM daily, and our morning commentary is served with a side of oatmeal with maple syrup, sliced toasted almonds, and dried cranberries; and an extra helping of snark at no extra charge.
