Yep, that was the joke, mhaw. You almost got it.

What was that joke, again?

The double post was a joke? Hilarious.

Double posts as jokes have been done before.

It's like a double post of a double post joke.

The joke was that it wasn't a double post, y'all, even it looked like one because of the clever play off the phrase "Drought Czar." No duplications, just good plain readin'!

So, the joke was.....?

Joke might have been the wrong word, but I see what the project was.

What's up with the first and third links? Have they just been overwhelmed with MetaPower?

Mikrophon: probably. It's an online archive of some excellent Harper's essays - one about the Aral Sea and another one about the global water situation generally, both worth checking out. If you're interested, there's an excellent NYTimes article today about China's crazy new canal ideas that I failed to include in the post.
