I debated whether to include a caption. I ended up deciding that the cup-holder would be recognizable, and that the joke would be weakened with a caption, so I stuck the caption in the ALT text for the image (viewable by right-click, "Properties," at least when using Firefox).

I guess I made the wrong call.

That's Judith Miller. The two guys are unnamed in the original article. I presume they are her lawyers.

I thought you would have included a comment on the fiasco in Boston. Under this state of fear,what would have been done to Orson Welles when the martian invasion took place?

KK -- There are some events that I just know are going to provoke everyone in the blogosphere. This Boston thing was one of those -- nothing pithy came to mind, so I let it pass.

Now, had I thought of the Orson Wells parallel, you can bet I would have put that up. Nice.

It had the double-whammy effect of appearing in the New York Times. More ironic than an Alanis Morrisette song.

Brando gets the award for simile of the month. Nice!

(If simile the right word. Maybe I mean allusion?)

Oh,that's just common drugstore snark.
