Rouhani's Thought Bubble

One of the big stories last week was Iran's President Rouhani speaking at the UN in New York. His address was equal parts high-flown rhetoric, mild defiance, and pure BS. In other words, a "statesman-like" performance. But you know what he was actually thinking?

"The hell with it. I'm movin' here. The Ayatollah is a world-class prick, and, hey, I'm not getting any younger. Maybe get a loft in Tribeca, furnish it Mid-century Modern. Brooklyn is over anyway. Open a gallery in Chelsea and staff it with ingenues from those over-priced New England liberal arts colleges. Yes, that's what I'm going to do as soon as I get back. I mean it this time."
