... that the evening still is a warm, alcoholic blur. But I don't recall the food being as bad as Roger Simon remembers the cuisine at his daughter's Chabad Sunday School in Los Angeles.

... ancient caliphate seems as surreal as it is encouraging. That's not good enough for the (other) Roger Simon though, who's begging for Obama to demonstrate Orwell's axiom that the quickest way to end a war is to lose it.
