!!** Welcome to Private Buffoon **!!

Oh! a private buffoon is a light-hearted loon,
If you listen to popular rumour;
From the morn to the night he's so joyous and bright,
And he bubbles with wit and good humour!
He's so quaint and so terse, both in prose and in verse;
Yet though people forgive his transgression,
There are one or two rules that all family fools
Must observe, if they love their profession.

[Yeomen of the Guard, Gilbert & Sullivan]

Note 1: Private Buffoon is simply a continuation of previous blog, al Qaeda in Albuquerque, whose somewhat provocative name was chosen to tweak W and his minions. Since they're no longer officially on the scene, the point of the name is lost.
Nevertheless, to help me maintain some sense of continuity, I've imported all previous AQA posts.

Note 2: the new blog also provides me a natural opportunity to post a new picture of myself - as The Ghost of Jacob Marley from a recent production of Scrooge - the Musical.

The obtrusive "!!** ... **!!" in the heading of this post is intended to demarcate Private Buffoon from AQA:
de·mar·cate (d-märkt, dmär-kt)
tr.v. de·mar·cat·ed, de·mar·cat·ing, de·mar·cates
1. To set the boundaries of; delimit.
2. To separate clearly as if by boundaries; distinguish: demarcate categories

Welcome to all.
