Did you know that upscale restaurants keep files on you?  Not just allergies, but preferences for napkin colors.  Or take Tim Zagat: Prefers his soup in a cup, not in a bowl.

So says the NY Times today in a lead story in the Food section.

But the lead story on the front page of the paper?  That’s about “Iran supplying Syrian military via Ira Airspace.”  According to?  According to unnamed “senior American officials.”

These are the same officials who, restaurateurs know, like to have a table in the back, toasted bread, and olive oil rather than butter.

Don’t we owe it them and to the American people to smack Iran down before it’s too late?
