NYT chairman Arthur “Pinchy” Sulzberger calms shareholders:
“This company is not for sale,” Mr. Sulzberger said at the company’s annual shareholder meeting in New York. “This company will continue to have the ownership it enjoys today” …
Mr. Sulzberger drew a laugh when he joked about a bee buzzing around his head, saying the insect was one of the joys of having a garden in the company’s towering new headquarters just off Times Square.
Sulzberger should read his own troubled newspaper, which reports that bees are a sign of economic destruction:
In a county with one of the nation’s highest foreclosure rates, empty houses have attracted a new type of nonpaying tenant: bees.
Better double-check on that bee, I reckon it’s a fly, circling a rotting corpse.

#7: Well, kudos to “NC”, then; although, why anybody who can come up with a honey of a combo like that would want to hide his (or her) light under a basket is beyond me. As my grandmother was fond of sayin’, “He who tooteth not his own horn, the same shall go untooteth.” Which makes me and Wronwright a couple of air-raid sirens, I reckon.
O/T, but Andrea, why do you stay in Florida?
I thought all the bees were dead because of Global Warming?

Someone sure put a bee in Sulzberger’s bonnet.

Oh paco, that’s just a cute l’il ol’ gator. We don’t even worry about them until they reach over seven feet. Heck, I just had to feed one of the cats to one so I could get out of the parking lot this morning… Oh wait, that’s tomorrow. (Yes, the cat peed on the bed again. She knows I’m up to no good—I’ve got a job, see, so now I leave the house every day; NOT allowed—so she takes revenge. Well let’s see who gets the last laugh when someone wakes up inside a gator’s belly…)
Where was I? Eh, it’s not so bad. At least I’m out of Miami—that’s the first circle of Florida’s hells.

One more reason: a quote from the lead singer of the Dead Milkmen during a concert in summer in the inadequately air-conditioned Cameo Theater on Miami Beach—it must have been at least 100 degrees (Fahrenheit!) in there and 99% hunidity: “Man, you people have balls of steel.” Also fistfights are legal as is owning as many guns as you damn well please.

Offers a Typically Thoughtful
Observation: It Doesn’t Stink!What poet can express in words
The beauty of my daily turds,
Or the scent that sweetly lingers
On my long and nimble fingers?
I breathe the aromatic bowl
And it so deeply fills my soul
That when I flush, it breaks a spell,
And mournfully, I bid farewell.
