In 2009, the Iranian election was stolen, and the people are making shit happen. President Ahmadinejad has left the country out of fears for his safety.
Time will tell whether the Iranian people are more effective than their American counterparts, but they can't be less effective.
And yet, these people that are taking to the streets- living Democracy without living in Democracy- are our enemies because "they hate our freedoms" -George W. Bush, March 18, 2002.
Glenn Greenwald makes a great point about it.
Much of the same faction now claiming such concern for the welfare of The Iranian People are the same people who have long been advocating a military attack on Iran and the dropping of large numbers of bombs on their country -- actions which would result in the slaughter of many of those very same Iranian People.
Time will tell what happens, I'll be watching.

This is awesome.
Hmmm, I see the thought process here -I got a tatoo, but no one likes it, so I'll sue the tatoo artist. Hard to believe it didn't happen in America.
A teenage girl is suing a tattoo artist for £8,500 after she allegedly asked him for three stars on her face - but ended up with 56.
Eighteen-year-old Kimberley Vlaminck paid £55 for 'the graffiti that has ruined my life' in her Belgian home town of Courtrai.
She claims she fell asleep while he was doing his work... and awoke to 'this nightmare'.
Rouslan Toumaniantz, who runs the tattoo parlour called The Tattoo Box in Courtrai, denies her claim.
He said she knew 'exactly what she wanted'.
He added: 'She was awake and looked into the mirror several times as the procedure was taking place.
'The trouble all started when she went home and her father and boyfriend threw a fit.

O'Bama takes two steps back for every one step forward.
If you take a good hard look at the direction Obama has taken on gay rights, I’m not sure how you can come to any conclusion other than he thinks they aren’t equal. Maybe that’s OK with you, in which case, fuck you and fuck him
Pelosi just plain sucks.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the White House will try to muscle through a $106 billion war funding bill today, hoping to quell a rebellion among liberal Democrats against further support for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The healthcare war has started.
The last president to successfully take on the giant health care lobbies was LBJ. He got Medicare and Medicaid enacted because he weighed into the details, twisted congressional arms, threatened and cajoled, drew lines in the sand, and went to war against the AMA and the other giant lobbyists standing in the way. The question now is how much LBJ is in Barack Obama.

Alberto Contador needs a hug.
"I will have to deal with [Denis] Menchov, [Cadel] Evans, the Schleck brothers, [Carlos] Sastre and my teammates Armstrong and Leipheimer,"
As usual BKW spells it out quite nicely.
Hinault understood an important lesson about rivals that Armstrong learned well and Contador doesn’t remotely understand. Make your rivals doubt. Make them doubt themselves. Make them doubt each other. Make them doubt your words.

Beer in a pouch? I'm intrigued. But the packaging is so much better with bottles.
Maybe I should run to the ATM so I can go buy some.
