Non-Mungerian Podcastrianism

Yes. I'm pretty sure she'll get sued, but Mrs. Angus has done a podcast that does not involve Mike Munger (except for the fact that it was his generous invitation for us to sabbaticate at Duke for a year that lead to her book project)!

From the New Books Network comes a lovely 62 minute podcast of Marshall Poe interviewing Robin about her new Cambridge book (now out in paperback, people)!

Here's the link. Enjoy.

That's nacho cheese!

People can you imagine the pure adrenaline rush, the unmitigated joy, of cruising down the highway with 20 tons of stolen cheese in the back of your truck?

Meet Veniamin Konstantinovich Balika, who was apprehended in New Jersey with a load of hot Wisconsin Muenster.

Now, I personally believe that ALL Muenster cheese should be illegal, but that's a story for another day.

It certainly is no coincided that this malefactor of great cheese was arrested at the Vince Lombardi rest stop.

Maybe Mr. Balika should hook up with this guy.

Whoops I did it again!

You know who really won Tuesday's Presidential election?

Nobody.

More people (myself included) voted for Nobody than for any other candidate.

These results show that Nobody has a clear mandate.

Wouldn't it be great if Nobody showed up for the inauguration?

Hat tip to Andrew for the great pie chart.
