It's Easter time, so here's some eggs in the news.



I was reading a news story about a recent political egg-throwing incident, and found the following in the blog-like comments accompanying the story:


"Only one egg hit the bus. 3 flew over the bus, 2 went too far right, 3 were dropped and broken, and 3 were still unthrown in the carton. The thrower has been identified as the quarterback for the Detroit Lions.. "
"LEGEND HAS IT that in the early 1920s one of Vladimir Lenin's fellow Bolsheviks asked him to justify the growing number of atrocities they were committing in the name of a socialist future. "If you want to make an omelet," Lenin insisted, "you have to be willing to break a few eggs." To which the Bolshevik replied, "Comrade, I see the broken eggs everywhere. But where, oh where, is the omelet?"
This second one could probably be quoted by anyone from liberals opposed to the US efforts in Iraq (aerial bombardment and collateral damage), to conservatives opposed to the new health care plan and its threatened penalties for people who do not become customers of private health insurance companies. Enough politics. I'm going to see if there are any Peeps left in the house.

Ha! I like the first one best.

Peeps. I always think I want one but by the time I have eaten half of one, I realize I was wrong. I like marshmellow but I think its how crunchy the sugar is.

Come on, DM. Take a stand. Are you pro-or anti-Cadbury Creme Eggs?

Happy Easter.
