NO CONFIDENCE, harrumph harrumph!

So Harvard FAS professors passed a vote of no confidence against Larry Summers. Damn, just when he was getting his weight under control this happens. Let's hope he doesn't respond with an eating shame spiral of Noch's and Herrell's and Felipe's. Damn, I miss Harvard fast food. But not that much because I don't eat fast food in Spain, only homecooked, or Doner Kebap, which is like a gyro without the overdose of flavor. Leave it to the Turks to perfect a Greek concept. Damn, I hope Pauly doesn't read that. We all know what she thinks of Turks...namely that they turned the Hagia Sofia into a shithole.

Beulah tells me that the Turks are nicer, which makes sense. It's overcompensation. Everyone hates them from the Greeks to other Europeans, even Palestinians/Jordanians/Arabs hate them. As a result, they have to be friendly. I'm expecting a country of open arms and flowing honey, hookah, and baklava. And tea.

This is definitely one of those times I wish I was at Harvard, the air must be thick with scandal...and snow. Scratch that, I'll stay here.

I'm not sure if this is propaganda of the Spanish Right, but Senor tells me that Zapatero wants to suspend all public church displays, meaning putting an end to the crazy processions and festivals of the country. Also, he canceled the national holiday of San Jose, so there is no day off, just celebration. Look, I'm as secular as they come, but in Spain this is just wrong. It's a Catholic country, and these celebrations are as cultural as they are religious. Why don't you purge it of bullfighting and flamenco while you're at it. Of course, this could be an exaggeration of Limbaughian proportions, but I thought I'd believe it anyway.
