...announcement was designed to end speculation that the media brouhaha over anti-Israeli rhetoric uttered in Mrs. Clinton's presence during her Middle East trip would torpedo her campaign. Despite New York's large Jewish vote and the tabloid media's best efforts, Suha Arafat's remarks are hardly likely to turn into one of those "-gate" tropes that could doom her campaign (the Palestinians hate the Israelis - who knew?), especially after Prime Minister Ehud Barak gave her a ringing endorsement as a friend of Israel. But what the incident may have shown is that the trappings of First Ladyhood...
Last year it was the gong--this year it is tiny white stickers. The interhouse brouhaha is back, and once again our friends in Adams House are the culprits behind the uproar. Earlier this month, the Adams House Committee labeled all resident I.D. cards in order to facilitate the enforcement of draconian interhouse restrictions.

French and English diplomats are glaring at one another from either end of a long mahogany table, their stony silence broken by an occasional aggressive sniff. Another diplomat enters. He has a conspicuously soothing manner. He's an American. You can tell because he's carrying a bottle of disinfectant...
...people on stage, no one is particularly charming or memorable, they do ridiculous things for adults under uninspired direction and the audience laps it up. They sing competently, okay, even well, but they dance tepidly. And the premise of the show, the reason for this massive bouffanted brouhaha, is, like, let's have a nineteenth century variety show, because it's that time of the year which lends itself so perfectly to all things excessive and unnecessary...
