Yesterday still didn't happen...
2002-08-06
Still nothing on any news service about the events in Iran yesterday. Mac's seen nothing, either. No ABCNBC coverage. It wasn't fit news for the Noo Yawk Times to print. It didn't get Posted in Washington. Did we miss something?
Or did they miss something?

#1  The Shahs kid tonight on CNBC Capital Report revealed a possible reason why this weeks pattern of riots broke the usual "after fridays call-to-prayer blowout" - August 6th is ( or was ) "Constitution Day" in Iran during the shahs reign.might explain the signing of that god-awful national anthem. (heres a hint to reformists, go find a pub, find the loudest drinking sunofagun in it, ask him to bowlderize a drinking song. It worked for us, it should work for you.)

I am in no way backing the Shahs kid, just reporting what I saw. ( I dont think much of tin horn despots of any stripe - and as a rule, their kids are usually worse )
