Some morning comedy, brought to you by the New York Times.

1/ Gail Collins, from “The Uncle Al Election”:

Too much of a good thing is our middle name. Now, the Democratic primary has become the McMansion of politics.

2/ Kirk Johnson, from “Plans to Mix Oil Drilling and Art Clash in Utah”:

Proceeding down to the foot of the “Jetty,” they inserted the section of the bike frame into a hole in the top of the stool—echoing Duchamp’s famous sculpture “Roue de Bicyclette.” Then they positioned their creation with “Spiral Jetty’s” rock—black and white and rimed with salt—as the backdrop.

Mr. McMillin swung his club while Ms. Wing, 29, who is pursuing her master’s degree in museum studies at Harvard, snapped the pictures: earth-art, Dadaism and golf.

“It was sort of idiotic,” said Mr. McMillin, 28, an artist who lives in Greenpoint section of Brooklyn. “And the Duchamp reference was, in retrospect, totally pretentious.”
