It’s been a weird week in Lake Wobegon: Garrison Keillor, the homely host of public radio’s “A Prairie Home Companion,” has a stalker. The Georgia woman, whom we assume is strong, was found rustling the bushes outside his St. Paul home.
The woman excused it as “transcendental love” between a writer and a reader. For the record, The Buzz tries to cultivate “transcendental indifference” between itself and its readers.
Trouble with consonants: GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney misspoke, says a staffer, when he confused Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and demonic terrorist Osama bin Laden.
Fair’s fair. Obama can now refer to Mitt Romney as ’70s glam rock band Mott the Hoople.
Airbus’ A380 is ready for its first commercial flight. The huge jet has many features, including suites that can be combined to form a private double bed.

How long will it take for that rule to be ignored? Our bet: Thursday, the day of the first flight.
