I Dedicate This Observation to Jerry Seinfeld

(I just watched the 2002 documentary Comedian, which follows Seinfeld after he has thrown away all his old material and is building up a new standup comedy routine piece by piece.)

So what's the deal with those gigantic scissors that politicians use at ribbon-cutting ceremonies? Where do they even come from? Is there some kind of Wal-Mart Supercenter for Giants where they sell the scissors on the next aisle over from the huge thimbles that some people collect? And most importantly, do they make the big scissors for lefties? Because if they don't, that could really be closing some people out of an important part of the political process. I wonder if they make ceremonial safety scissors for use in dedicating schools.



Ahem.

So on this note, I will leave you for a time. I am visiting Tam in Denver this weekend for that random-seeming holiday that Memorializes the Independence of Labor or whatever it is called. Blogging will resume Tuesday-ish.
