Greetings loyal Spin readers! It’s finally happened; I’ve torn myself away from editing the opinion page to write a blog post. What would drive me to do this? None other than SNL’s musical spoof of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s all-too-fleeting stay in New York: “Iran so far.” Get it … “Iran” as in that country that just can’t wait to nuke the hell out of Israel, and “I ran” as in the subject-verb construction … it’s what we call a pun in the industry.

Anyway, it goes without saying that anything with the line “You can deny the holocaust all you want, but you can’t deny that there’s something between us” is worth covering, but apparently, writing an editorial about Andy Samberg’s genius isn’t appropriate (who knew?). So here’s your reward for venturing into Daily Pennsylvanian cyberspace.

Side note: Amazing how a ridiculous three-minute SNL video can do a more effective job of skewering the Iranian dictator than any number of words could.
