Randomly I just found out that A Plus, the Aston Kutcher thing, is now owned by Chicken Soup For The Soul. Got bought in 2016!

What do you think is the most Gaza-like analogue?

We probably agree Gazas exist in a weird legal / sovereignty limbo that is basically unprecedented - and I think that's why the objections to "what would your country do if..." are pretty straightforward

They seem to get about $800 million a year in tuition revenue, I'm sure a friendly local investment banker would happily structure a 30-year bond backed by the $$ from a 3% tuition hike.

It's just factually true that it isn't an international border, right? I guess you can call it some kind of military/administrative line, but nobody says Gaza is any kind of sovereign country

I saw earlier that their endowment is like $2.5 billion. Not sure if it's that, but seems like it could either be that, or debt taken out against it.

Right but my point is much sillier obsessions drove Fox etc during Obama years and it didn't seem to be a problem for them.

We're not a hereditary monarchy, we operate on a system of consensus where the consensus is always that the Emir's son is the best person for the job.

This is a weird argument. During the Obama years, Fox was totally obsessed with ginned up presidential scandals and conspiracies - Benghazi, Fast & Furious etc

Every step is intentional and and perfectly efficient, beginning with the way she furiously unties her jacket from around her waist. That's a statement of intent. That's the batter pointing to the left field fence.

Most importantly, we're dealing with a pro here. This isn't her first rodeo. Watch closely - her every move suggests she has done this before. She's the Iraqi shoe-thrower of shit throwing

Please God, I don't ask you for much, but deliver us a leaked cache of emails showing the back-and-forth debate about whether or not "Mr. Dubowitz wears tailored French suits" needs to be corrected.
