#Hogshead #ChunderRoad OK. So Atrios calls him "Leaky Pete " [ Is A No Show ]
I guess there was a TV show called "Sneaky Pete" and maybe he's playing on that.....BUT
"Sneaky Pete" was/is also a term for home-made alcohol of various sorts. The name coined at least as far back as Prohibition. There are, of course, tunes using the term. Notably
Champion Jack

"Pope John X, who showed signs of acting independently was, "struck down in the Lateran, before his brother's eyes" and later "deposed and imprisoned in the Castle Sant'Angelo, where he was soon afterward smothered to death with pillows."
How barbaric. At least, in these enlightened times, we use skillfully applied neurotoxins.
When the first thing I learned from the grim faced news presenters this morning was that Pope Francis died overnight, I immediately and reflexively yelled out "Vance you BASTARD."

Took a long walk along the Torrey Pines State Beach. The weather was perfect and the geology on full display.

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left.
YALL, THE TITLE!!
Your regular reminder that, in addition to glorious old trainsheds like this one, Italy has HIGH SPEED RAIL, three-freaking-hundred KPH across gorgeous countryside, zipping from Venice to Milan to Turin, all the way to Naples and then Salerno!

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.
