Thanks Democratic Veteran!

A couple of points:

We initially ran "FAIR AND BALANCED" through a popular anagram generator:
http://www.mbhs.edu/~bconnell/anagrams.shtml

There were 50,376 possibilities we scrolled through but no good "pure" anagram could be found.

However, while doing it we noticed some choice words that could be spelled using some of the letters in FAIR AND BALANCED. So we decided to do an animated gif "exposing" the various words. (Our favorite: BRAIN DEAD).

Second point (a minor one): We prefer to go by the handle "Quiddity". Way back in the early days we used "Quiddity Quack", but over time the "Quack" sounded inappropriate.

Anyway, I really like DV's blog. It's a daily read, with good information and links.

Quiddity you shall he henceforth! The whole aninmated Anagram should place high on the Neal Pollack Fair and Balanced day follies.

Let me take this opportunity to thank both Quiddity and Jo for the hard work, research, and effort they both put into their blogs.

Both should be required daily reading for anyone who can do so without moving their lips.
