Relax, enjoy your coffee, no rush. There'll be little mention of politics here today, save for a quick thanks to the cosmos for the Tampa-tantrum finally ending. (Yes, now that you ask, I will have a little something in my coffee, after all. Whooo-ah.)
OK, one more nudge at the Republican fright-fest just ended: It is testament to the power of lies and foolish nonsense that the Mississippi River river ran backwards for 24 hours -- even though Tampa was relatively far away!
Of course, to play fair, that gathering was backward before it was begun. (And, yes, of course, purists, Hurricane Isaac had something to do with that, too.)
Catching up with the rest of the week:
Canadian police in St.-Louis-de-Blandford, northeast of Montreal, are faced with a sticky situation: the theft of 10 million pounds of maple syrup, worth more than $30 million.
Thieves appear to have siphoned off stocks, leaving barrels looking undisturbed. So, for the next little while, be cautious of anyone offering you some hot maple syrup -- although warmed is still perfectly fine to accept.
