...asked whether the U.S. can win the war in Iraq, but a more apt question would be, Since the U.S. is losing the war, what can it do? The White House naively assumes that all countries are fertile ground for democracy. The layers of tribal fabric that make up Iraq are too complex for Western leaders to handle. Once American troops leave - as they eventually must - the only alternative to a tribal war in Iraq would be the installation of a strongman, a surrogate for Saddam Hussein on a short leash. With an autocratic leader in place, in six months...
...apparent reason, that something smells like fermented anal leakage? You may fear that you momentarily blacked out and farted, then regained consciousness and smelled the fart you made [1].

He’s asked us about slavery, the Holocaust, being kind to space aliens, and most importantly about the very fabric of our lives, and whether or not that fabric can be purchased with the “Indiana Jones” DVD box set. He certainly left me with a powerful question at the end of his current summer blockbuster. Why hasn’t someone put Dakota Fanning...
...learn something new at Harvard everyday. Yesterday, I was informed by a uniformed staffer at the Malkin Athletic Center (MAC) that I wasn’t allowed to wear jeans while using the equipment because “it wears down the fabric on the seats.” I was left wondering what the differences are between a 100 percent cotton t-shirt and a 100 percent cotton pair of denim jeans, since the former must touch the fabric of those machines hundreds of times a day.
