35th Blog Carnival of Maryland & Happy Father's Day!
Hosted by Maryland Blogger Alliance of which this blog is a part.

My post from Prince George's County for this article is Change is in the air... something you can always count on. Changes include Jews & Muslims finding common ground, other local news stories, an upcoming national March for Change, and an alternative to driving with these higher gas prices. Feel free to check this entire blog while you're visiting by clicking on prince_georges. Here are the entries for today's carnival:

Arts and Music

Clark Bjorke presents Groucho Marx: Lydia the Tattooed Lady posted at Clark's Picks, saying, "This has nothing to do with Maryland but I enjoy the Marx brothers so much that I want to share it. In this post I share a clip of Groucho Marx singing "Lydia the Tattooed Lady" in the 1939 Marx Brothers film, "At the Circus." "Lydia" became Groucho's signature song."
