Good morning, pups. If it’s me, it must be the NYT. Oh, Gawd… MoDo now feels it’s necessary for her to stick her oar in… She offers up a thing called “All About Eve,” and says that Hillary Clinton’s inner Eve Harrington leaped out in South Dakota when she inelegantly revealed why she wants to keep running: stuff happens. Nicholas Kristof writes about “Where Breathing Is Deadly,” and says China’s economic boom is raising living standards hugely in many ways, but the toll of the resulting pollution can be brutal. Mr. Friedman writes about “Hope in the Unseen,” and says a portrait of hope was on every face during a lottery to choose the first 80 students, drawn from disadvantaged districts, who will attend a new public boarding school. Mr. Rich writes about “Memorial Day at ‘South Pacific’,” and says the 1949 musical “South Pacific” at Lincoln Center reminds us that those whose memory we honor are always at the mercy of the leaders who send them into battle.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready. I’ve got lots of yard work to do today, so it’s a full breakfast this morning. Help yourselves to scrambled eggs, sausage and/or bacon, grits, and biscuits. (Try some of the wild blueberry preserves I got at Fresh Market on Friday — yummy.) And make a bacon or sausage biscuit for a snack later… Have a great day.

from the bbc, with nice video report: Dramatic evidence of the break-up of the Arctic ice-cap has emerged from research during an expedition by the Canadian military.

Good morning seleise. I was just reading Cole. Here’s the appropriate ending:

I think all of us Americans fall down crying this time every year. We want it to be over with.

morning twolf1 and eCAHNomics

juan cole has a lovely and painful memorial day post. it begins:

Memorial Day is about honoring those who have sacrificed themselves for the nation, in our armed forces. We cannot honor them properly unless we know the full extent of their sacrifice.
