Welcome to "Carry the 3," a running commentary about social, political and entertainment/ cultural issues, and whatever else comes to mind.

The title comes from an episode of the "Batman" tv series. The episode features Victor Buono, as the archvillain "King Tut," a gentle Egyptology professor who occasionally has psychotic breaks where he thinks he's the reincarnation of King Tut and wreaks havoc on Gotham City.

In this episode, King Tut discovers that the Batcave is directly under "stately Wayne Mansion"!!! Buono is hilarious, as "Tut" says "Why...carry the three...why that means Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson are Batman and Robin!!"

So, "Carry the 3" is my shorthand for processing the information we have and making some sense out of it.
