Not Bowl Championship Series coach-level walkin' around money, to be sure, but pretty good for the technocratic class. How does this severance deal correlate with the thought in the Post that the designated successor will need to understand the West's "culture of frugality?" It's funny how up to a certain level of institutional structure, leaving to "pursue other opportunities" is automatically seen to be a polite cover for an ouster. Above that, you're supposed to think I guess the guy is sorting through some actual options. I guess we'll hear more about this.

How nice to do it after something went deliciously right. Have a good one, and bring us back a plate of cookies, Historiann! “Goin’ to Canada” the day after an election used to be a sign of almost-biblical significance and simplicity that something had gone disastrously wrong.
