From an e-mailer to Bill Simmons in today's Clemens-tastic mailbag:
Why can't Hank Steinbrenner's nickname be "Kim Hank-il?" The parallel is perfect. Bad hair, chain smoker, evil empire inherited from equally twisted father who is to be remembered only positively under pain of death. Father, while crazy and a brute, knew how to run a dictatorship. Son determined to show how smart he is and simultaneously drive empire into the ground. Lives in a world where everyone bows to his whim, no matter how stupid. Subjects suffer under reign but spout rhetoric of greatness. TV is state owned and operated. And, YES, I am a Yankee fan.Thankfully, the Yankees don't have nukes. Not yet, anyway.

also, Hillary Clinton has snukes in her snizz, and as we all know, Hillary is a Yankees fan.
