Scholars.

I just can't get over that painting. "A Scholar" by Rembrandt. When was the open-mouth look a sign of intelligence? In Remmy's time I guess. It is so associated--universally--with doltishness now. "Lobotomized Uncle Performing Only Menial Task He Can, Copying," that would be the name of that painting today. I mean, whoever you are, do you realize how much you look like Paul Krugman?! Jeez.

Hearda L&C. Didn't know it was in Portlandia. What's that logo supposed to mean?

Grow wheat in Kansas. Gotitgotitgotit. Glad they don't grow tumors.


?  "A Utah State?" What do you mean A Utah State? Not even curious enough to look it up. DON'T care.

Pretty unimpressive group of Krugmans today.
