Bottom of Barrel Dept.

Hillary said something and then Barack said something and McCain had something to say, too, and Bush blah-blah, and then Hillary...
Bottom line: I'm bored silly with the news today and so probably is everyone else on the blogs I read and look to for inspiration and links, because I remain uninspired and linkless.
Maybe it's post-Potomac/Super Tuesday letdown, brain hormones that had kicked into high gear for more than a month suddenly out of whack and no new excitement in sight.
So, I punted over the weekend. Explored the non-political and found, judging from the comments, some gems.
I've been trying for a couple hours to repeat that lucky streak, but came up dry.
Friend sent me two stories from the New York Times, but the piece on the kind of people on The Nation's egghead cruise to Alaska was too long and the best quote was about the unlikeliness of finding Ralph Nader in the hot tub on the top deck.
The other one was by a progressive Democratic woman who married a Republican and how sincerely happy she was when he voted for Obama. Emphasis on sincerely.
Not even a dribble of snark.
I decided not to even try Wonkette today. Maybe that was a mistake but I'm done.
Fear not, however, I've been holding stuff in reserve for just this situation.
Okay, it's derivative, and there's no link to anything better, but it's mildly amusing.
Otherwise, I got nothin.'
If it's this bad tomorrow, maybe I'll make up a contest. Any suggestions?

FROM THE RESERVES:

I have toyed with the idea of putting together a list of favorite signature lines from progressive commenters at Daily Kos, but in the meantime, here are some from Bill in Portland, ME, who beat me to it. But then, he's getting paid to do this sort of thing.
