“Homey, I know you love me. We don’t need to get married again.” – Marge Simpson
“Yes we do! I got us a divorce this afternoon!” – Homer Simpson
The internet was still digesting the fact that Homer and Marge are not getting divorced for part of this week as the news slowly filtered down to small town paper blogs and other low traffic sites that aren’t very swift on the uptake. We do have a couple of links from people taking the story as a starting point to advocate for the show finally being sent to a farm upstate, however, so it’s not all bad. In addition to that, we’ve got Castellaneta singing, fan art, fan food, several lists, the staff doing something nice, and a new podcast.
Enjoy.

US Outlook: Set banks free to stop another crisis? A successful man can be stupid too – Moderate usage:
There is an old episode of The Simpsons in which Homer is falsely accused of sexual harassment after reaching for a gummy bear that is stuck to a lady’s backside. At the end of the episode, Marge asks Homer what he has learnt from his experience. Homer replies: “Marge, I haven’t learnt a thing.”
Homer actually says, “Marge, my friend, I haven’t learned a thing”, but that’s pretty close.
Car dealer and Rotary team to distribute Little Free Libraries – This was nice:

“He’s a friend of ours,” Bol said of Groening, the creator of “The Simpsons.”
