Rising curve

Overnight low about 22 F.  Sunshine.  We're supposed to get into the 40s F range today, with some parts (southern parts) touching 50.

Not time to pump up the bike tires, yet.  Too much meltwater and winter crap on the roads.

But maybe . . .

Sic transit gloria, and all that

Of minor amusement to the authors out there, "Harriet" rates a mention in THE ECONOMIST:

www.economist.com/science/tq/displaystory.cfm

Apparently amazon.com has changed the way they rate reviewers, now ranking based on "helpfulness" rather than sheer volume.

Idle question for those in touch with the music scene

Has anyone put out a Bernie Madoff song yet?  Something in the lineage of "Billy Sol Estes" :

"Billy Sol Estes, that boy really cooks"
"He had one shining purpose, and two sets of books."

Or even (reaching high):

"Some will rob you with a six-gun"
"And some with a fountain pen."

(Edit -- yes, I checked The Capitol Steps, AKA "The Usual Suspects."  Nothing visible on their website.)
