New Orleans time? The St. Patrick’s Day parade started at 6 p.m. far away and was expected along Decatur Street. I waited, ate dinner and gave up at 7:30. Headed back after 9 and it was still moving through Bourbon Street. …At 6:15 pm: behind me two people supported a guy who was being violently sick on the crowded sidewalk.

Speed dating is not new. I engaged in that a lot in college. “I have a headache, can we leave now? Take me home.” .... As I’ve gotten older, I don’t know that I’ve gotten wiser.

Is it true that the unobtrusive guys at a Prague gun show are Background Czechs? ... Someone recently died aboard a United Airlines flight. On the surface, this is distressing.

There must be something about American vice presidents and shotguns. Former VP Dick Chaney shot somebody in the face and VP Joe Biden keeps shooting himself in the foot. If these guys had lived in an era when duals were fought, they would have been in no danger. They would have both missed.
