It’s going on at Talking Points Memo. I like to read TPM, but Josh Marshall can, at times, go almost too deeply into a subject. If you need any and all information on the Social Security situation, that’s the place to go for single-minded coverage. But even then, it’s one of the better political blogs to read.

But now, apparently, Josh is off to get married, and so he has a guest blogger. When I saw the name, I thought, “hey, that’s the same name as that other guy. Whaddaya know.” But then I realized, from the intro at the top which I’d missed before, that it was him–Harry Shearer, cast member of The Simpsons and into a few hundred other things, is guest blogging on TPM. Subjects include his being called to jury duty with Christina Applegate for the Robert Blake trial.

Ehhhhhhhhxcellent.

Oh, and by the way, they now think that they’re creating black holes in labs, which quickly explode in fireballs 300 times hotter than the sun. The black holes explode, that is, and not the labs. Well, not yet, anyway. And I’m not kidding. And they reassure us that the experiment “is not thought to pose a threat.” Oh, well, so long as your that certain.
