On the under-reported story of the week:

In Aspen this week, the ambassador of the United Arab Emirates said that he not only supports but almost invites … a U.S. attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities because, he says, it is impossible to imagine living in deterrence or containment on Iran. Even without nukes it’s still aggressive and cannot be contained.

On LeBron James leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat:

Look, LeBron is not the first man to abandon his high school sweetheart in favor of a comely model walking down South Beach. But he is the first to announce it in a prime-time special on television.
So my advice is to follow Paul Simon’s advice in “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover”: “Slip out the back, Jack. Just leave the key, Lee. Don’t be coy, Roy. Get yourself free.”
He wouldn’t be hated if he [had done] that.
