...Iraq (MIRI), a paramilitary outfit coordinated out of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's base in Ahvaz, Iran. Although U.S. and British officers think it unlikely the soldiers were killed on orders from Revolutionary Guard officers, they agree that the slayings fit within the Iranian generals' broad guidelines to bog coalition forces down in sporadic hit-and-run attacks...
...regal serenity is sometimes tested. For instance, Curragh has been known to bog a four-wheel-drive vehicle or get a drenching in the lagoon after tipping over the dugout canoe into which she is trying to climb.

From what I understand this year, I am now expected to wait in line to get access to a miniscule number of Undergraduate Council-approved kegs served in the bog of the stadium parking lot like some kind of alcoholic refugee. Hooray. Not unlike a large number of students last year, or this year, I’ll probably take things into my own hands and bring a hip flask rather than wait half an hour for a plastic...
