Entry #2964: Dissing the Crankpot

How did I miss squirrel appreciation day? I’ll try to do better next year. The article mentions their “leaf nests”, but for 5 Biomes points, what are these nests actually called?

If you’re confused (like me) about how Willard made his bucks at Bain Capital, the New Yorker has a short little primer on the economics of private equity firms.

Iowa’s ancient history, but Stewart nails the press to the wall on their weird dissing of crankpot Ron Paul.

I had to google the answer. It's a word I've never encountered before.

Squirrel nests are usually called drays (at least here in Scotland). Don't know if that's how the leaf nests are referred to. I think ours tend to live in the trunks all year round because it's always freezing here.
