No chance to see who the boobbleheads are today (and we were not visited by the ghosts of Tim Russert or Tony Snow), but fortunately Kevin was able to take some time out from listening to the Victrola and let us know what’s in store for us today.

And now, a few pithy Ben Franklin sayings:

There are three faithful friends — an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.

Well, two out of three aint bad.

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.

Helps if you can disconnect your ears, too, and develop your smile and nod muscles.

One good Husband is worth two good Wives; for the scarcer things are, the more they’re valued.

I’ve seen “Big Love.” One good wife is plenty.

Fear not death; for the sooner we die, the longer shall we be immortal.

Or not. Either way, there’s not much point in worrying.

There was never a good war or a bad peace.

Or a bad piece, for that matter.

Hunger is the best pickle.

I have no idea what that means, but I think it would make a great bumper sticker.

Have a good Sunday!
