Well, I guess now we know why Kal Penn left the administration. It wasn’t because he suddenly realized he’d given up a plum regular role on a top-rated network TV show for a wholly unfulfilling career as a flack for Obama administration policies, which— let’s face it— didn’t give him nearly the energizing jolt of moral superiority that hanging Shepard Fairey posters did.

Nope, he left because the man whose career was launched by a fast-food slider chain could not countenance the War on White Castle. And, who can blame him?
