Pun Salad

At Pun Salad Manor, a day without electricity is like a day without lights, heat, showers, laundry, decent food, clean dishes, Internet connectivity, and most forms of entertainment.

Other than that, though, it's fine.

I don't think I'm going insane, but I'm mighty irritable.

• Check out Greg Pollowitz's commentary on Business Week's choice for "Best Car" of 2008, and why you can't get it in the US of A, even though it's made by Ford.

• "All I can report is it is a size 10.". Good one. Gonna miss him, I think.

• There's an upside to McCain's loss: he can once more adopt his traditional role of providing political cover to Democrats while stabbing people who supported him in the back. So all's right with the world.

That's all for today, Saladeers. We now return you to your regularly scheduled shivering.
