Abused Monkeys




You've no doubt seen the news story about Canto and Owen, the rhesus monkeys shown above. One has been fed a restricted diet; the other eats pretty much what he pleases.

What can you read in their faces?

Roger Cohen, who just weeks ago was bravely reporting from the streets of Tehran, thinks he knows.

And speaking of monkeys, Gail Collins has the condensed version of the Sotomayor hearings. She does not confine her satire to the Republican Party death spiral, although she strangely let go Al Franken's ruminations on how cool it was that Sotomayor watched Perry Mason with her family, at the same time he watched Perry Mason with his family.

My my. Mr. Cohen can really read a lot out of one pair of facial expressions. Sly smile on the face of Owen? Sorry, I'll put my money on Canto.

Now for Gail Collins. An astute and humorous recap of the crowd that just loves to hear themselves talk. Health care reform waits while these buffoons ask stupid questions that in the final analysis will not matter. Where is all the complaining about wasted taxpayer dollars here? They do make a great case for senate term limits however. And lighten up on Al Franken, he just got to the party.
