A Notice from Mahmoud (and Britain)
Announcing that his Islamic Republic is now able to produce nuclear fuel on an industrial scale, Dior acolyte Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today pronounced: “The great Iranian nation, which for past centuries has been a pioneer of science, will not allow some bullying powers to put obstacles in its path of progress by influencing the international community.” He added that if the bullying powers should decide to put obstacles in Iran’s path to a nuclear weapon and to the fulfillment of its genocidal dream, Iran shall once again capture a full fifteen soldiers of that bullying power’s Navy. And “that,” Mr. Ahmadinejad added, “will show them.”
In entirely unrelated news, Downing Street’s plan to allow those fifteen sailors to sell their stories to moviemakers and ghostwriters has been slashed. No reason was given, but one imagines it has something to do with the incalculable disgracefulness of the whole idea.

Fare Thee Well, Tom Crady

In an interview with The Dartmouth, alumni-elected trustee T.J. Rodgers ‘70 explained his reasons for declining to participate in future evaluations of trustees up for “re-election,” namely the “kangaroo court” nature of such discussion in…
