The Best Of The Dish Today

Camille_Pissarro,_Le_verger_(The_Orchard),_1872

I defer to David Simon’s take on the Snowden affair; Conor moved the debate along; and the term “media martyr” seemed more apropos than “whistle-blower”. Pissaro’s work (almost as magnificent as his beard) was given a second look (see Orchard in Bloom, Louveciennes above); and we toasted the poet, Marie Ponsot. Hound love here; Paul Wolfowitz as a velociraptor here.

The most popular post? Enter The Media Martyr. Second? This Is Bullshit. And the sectarian flames licked the Middle East some more.

See you in the morning.
