Because He's Worth It

The same delightful sense of humour which led an American foundation to refer to the Glorious Successor as a world statesman has now infected an Israeli university to the extent that it has thrown a million dollars at the Ascended and Transfigured Vicar of Downing Street. His reverence has been awarded the Dan David prize for "achievements having an outstanding scientific, technological, cultural or social impact on our world"; fortunately, there seems to be no mention of whether the said impact should be positive or negative, thus leaving the prize open to such eligible contenders as nuclear weapons, global warming, the Black Death and Tony Blair. The effectiveness of his reverence as a peace envoy was thrown into welcome relief during the recent phase of the peace process which the Righteous State executed, if that is the word I want, in Gaza. About fourteen hundred Palestinians were killed, along with thirteen real people; but, as with the Iraq crusade, things would undoubtedly have been much worse if not for the activities of his reverence, who has "made progress in securing an important new mobile telephone frequency for the Palestinians".
