<p>Today on the Dish, Andrew <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/weve-known-each-other-for-so-long/">signed off</a> for vacation, but not before <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/ask-andrew-anything-thoughts-on-pope-francis-and-ratzinger/">leaving</a> a new &#8216;Ask Anything&#8217; video. Meanwhile, we <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/is-north-korea-a-paper-tiger/">sized up</a> the stakes in the Korean peninsula, Ackerman <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/one-of-these-weapons-is-not-like-the-other/">suggested</a> we ditch the term &#8216;WMD,&#8217; and Matt Taibbi <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/the-punishment-doesnt-fit-the-crime/">described</a> the difficulty of knocking down bad laws. We <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/who-will-lead-the-gop-out-of-the-wilderness/">checked in </a>on the chances of a GOP resurgence and <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/the-politics-of-immigration-reform-2/">the state</a> of immigration reform, <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/why-cant-the-irs-do-your-taxes/" target="_blank">explained</a> why the government won&#8217;t help us with our taxes and <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/energy-codependence/" target="_blank">discovered</a> that shale gas won&#8217;t hold up progress on renewable energy. Rob Walker <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/do-the-time-or-snitch/">told the story</a> of a man forced to rat on criminals, readers <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/how-common-is-gay-rape-ctd-2/">continued</a> the delicate thread on &#8220;gay rape&#8221; and <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/the-public-defender-deficit-ctd-2/">kept up</a> the appraisal of our public defenders.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, Noah Berlatsky <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/in-defense-of-expensive-weddings/">stuck up</a> for pricey weddings while we continued the threads on <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/are-prenups-pernicious-ctd-3/">prenups</a> and taking on a <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/why-take-his-name-ctd-7/">husband&#8217;s name. </a>Readers <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/straight-adoption-and-gay-marriage-ctd/">pushed</a> further on Justice Roberts&#8217; possible blind spot on the definition of marriage, others <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/the-evolving-cliche-ctd/">defended</a> the idea of political &#8216;evolution&#8217; on the question, and the World Values survey <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/gay-rights-around-the-globe/">tracked</a> the progress of gay rights worldwide.</p>
<p>In more assorted coverage, Christopher Jobson <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/related-searches/">came across</a> found art in the age of Google, we <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/fact-checking-fantasy/">witnessed</a> the new found relevance of fanboys, <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/sexy-sneezing/">learned</a> some sneezes come from being hot and bothered. Also, we we <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/the-harlem-shake-down/">questioned</a> the authenticity of the Harlem Shake meme and later <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/the-first-reality-star/">found</a> the original version of &#8220;reality&#8221; entertainment was as staged as it is now.</p>
<p>Later, we <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/talent-for-tyrants/">browsed</a> some dictator kitsch as Dirk Brockmann <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/map-of-the-day-31/" target="_blank">followed</a> cash around the country and readers <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/cant-we-get-an-ez-pass-for-restaurants-ctd/">responded</a> to Tomasky&#8217;s call for a more efficient restaurant check. We <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/that-broken-leg/">agonized</a> over Kevin Ware&#8217;s compound fracture, <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/using-soda-to-save-lives/">watched</a> cola cans score medical supplies, and <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/adderall-the-new-caffeine/">asked</a> whether Adderall will become a commonplace energy fix. Touchscreens were <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/mental-health-break-124/">put to the test </a>in the MHB, before we <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/face-of-the-day-127/">remembered</a> that bunnies can be scary in the Face of the Day and <a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/04/01/the-view-from-your-window-130/">spent</a> a moment in Chengdu, China for the VFYW.</p>
