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.”
