Well, that wasn’t so bad. One polyp, apparently, and not too close in appearance to Leon Wieseltier. No Lemmiwinks. RIP.

Meanwhile, Butters gave a commencement speech! Well, not Butters Stotch as such but Eric Stough, the Colorado University grad on whom the South Park character was roughly based. Stough is a producer and animation director of the show. Life lesson:

Stough described an episode in which Butters experiences a “beautiful sadness” after being dumped. “But how could sadness be beautiful?” he said. “In order to feel something really sad, he had to experience something as equally happy. The key to a great life isn’t just happiness. It would be a boring life if it were.”

Also: don’t forget to bring a towel.

Today, we discovered that “the people of Holland have one of the lowest indexes of anti-Semitic attitudes (5 percent) in the world while also harboring great hostility to Israel.” Plus: Iranians are less anti-Semitic than other Middle Easterners. And Bibi Netanyahu’s head just exploded. We visited the white-hot center of the marijuana revolution – Uruguay –  where fully legal weed is imminent thanks in part to one of the more charming populists on the planet. Oh – and how margarine affects the divorce rate.
