Arithmetic operation between Series and bool fails

[fonnesbeck]

In the current master, I am no longer able to add or subtract bool scalars from Series. For example:

In [63]: (covariates.isnull().sum(axis=1).astype(bool))
Out[63]:
case_id
A0001      False
A0002      False
A0003      False
A0004      False
A0005      False
A0006      False
A0007      False
A0008      False
A0009      False
A0010      False
A0011      False
A0012      False
A0013      False
A0014      False
A0015      False
...
D3760       True
D3761      False
D3762      False
D3763      False
D3764      False
D3765      False
D3766      False
D3767      False
D3768      False
D3769      False
D3770      False
D3771      False
D3772      False
D3773      False
D3774      False
Length: 3169, dtype: bool

In [65]: (covariates.isnull().sum(axis=1).astype(bool)).value_counts()
Out[65]:
False    2677
True      492
dtype: int64

When I subtract True to flip the trues and falses, I get:

In [66]: (covariates.isnull().sum(axis=1).astype(bool)) - True

should be a better error message, but just do this

In [6]: s = Series([True,False,True])

In [7]: s ^ True
Out[7]: 
0    False
1     True
2    False
dtype: bool

In [8]: s & True
Out[8]: 
0     True
1    False
2     True
dtype: bool

In [12]: ~s
Out[12]: 
0    False
1     True
2    False
dtype: bool

@cpcloud looks like trivial fix in pandas/computation/expressions/_has_bool_dtype

pr on the way
