It is a bad sign when the leader of the United States Senate sounds something like an actress with bizarre feelings of entitlement.

“I have been informed that I am being replaced as the Editor in Chief of @eLife for retweeting a @TheOnion piece that calls out indifference to the lives of Palestinian civilians.” Michael B. Eisen
