...original setups are always the result of something that feels real and evokes sympathy, which is what makes the show so uniquely and painfully hilarious. By contrast, the scenes in “How to Lose Friends”—Sidney ruining a party by bringing a pig on a leash, or coughing so hard that he spits a large wad of food onto a woman’s white jacket (without her noticing, naturally)—are so manufactured, outlandish, or cliché that they lose their link to reality and irritate rather than amuse.

...Fifteen Minutes: In what three “outfits” would you like to see the John Harvard statue dressed up? Micahel T. Henderson ’11: Bikini, something President Faust would wear, Sarah Palin Alex B.

By choosing Sarah Palin, he lit a grass fire of GOP enthusiasm but risked undermining his ticket's claim of having greater experience and putting "country first." By attacking Obama's "lipstick on a pig" comment, the campaign clearly established itself as willing to engage in frivolous, small-ball distractions, a disposition that served McCain poorly when he pivoted and tried to portray himself as a sober statesman willing to halt his campaign to deal with the nation's financial meltdown. Most recently, McCain rolled...
