Apropos of nothing

I was out at ASDM a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t resist taking this picture. I think someone on the museum staff was having a good laugh with this “sign under repair” sign.

If not, is this what we’ve come to: Signs stating the obvious?

Will Sotomayor be to Obama what Souter was to Bush 41? Doubtful

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Sonia Sotomayor is a Supreme Court of the United States Associate Justice, thanks to the Senate’s 68-31 confirmation vote today.

I wonder whether she’ll deliver as advertised? Liberals hope she’ll be a liberal justice. Conservatives are certain of it.

But will she be?

Supreme Court nominees have a tendency to betray their nominator.

So what, AARP, you’re saying we’re all a bunch of rubes?

My take on AARP The Magazine ranking Tucson as the No. 1 city for living the “simple” life:

If you aspire in your retirment to do nothing but sit on your patio, drink iced tea and look at pretty mountains because there’s nothing else to do, then Tucson’s the place to be.

BTW, I would have provided a link to AARP The Magazine’s story about ranking Tucson as simply tops so you can read for yourselves why it thinks it’s so pathetic, er, simple here, but the story is not to be found on the publication’s web site.

And using The Google only returns stories about the ranking in USA Today, the Star and a handful of blogs.

So who’s simple now?
