• Irony squared

  A bon mot from Sarah Palin while co-anchoring Today for a day and objecting to Facebook’s Enemybook: “There’s power in people’s words.” Uh, such as saying the current president pals around with terrorists? —Ken Miller, associate editor

• Truth in advertising

  The new Wynn website is up, and it’s got two photos of 20-year-old country superstar Garth Brooks. At least, going off the photos, I assume that’s his age. —Rick Lax, staff writer

• Puppy popping

  Instead of anti-depressants, I wish we could get prescriptions for puppies. They’re the incarnation of everything sweet and soft and good about this world. The only side effect? Having to poop-scoop —Erin Ryan, staff writer

• Bacon, eggs and caviar?

  Everyone’s upset about the GSA official who dropped $820,000 on a conference for 300 at M Resort, but I’m impressed. It’s hard to spend $50 a head on breakfast. Just what were they putting in those eggs? —Sarah Feldberg, editor

• Count on me

  I got a container of 1,500 live ladybugs the other day and have since wondered who actually counts them. Because I think I want that job. —Kristen Peterson, staff writer
