#8  I would much rather have Amadinenutjob shortened - about 12 inches, starting from the top down. Sharp sword, nice follow-through, step back to keep from getting splattered. Problem solved. May take three minutes, max.

#7  Note to the Iranina Parliament:
Don't take any airplanes anywhere; they have a problem defying gravity.

#6  Most constitutions allow terms of office to end when the office holder dies. Slip Ahmad some Po-210 in his halvah.

#5  One of the reasons cited in the proposal for bringing the two elections together is cutting the costs brought on by a double election.

I'm sure that was the reason! The Persians need to work on their spin so it's not quite so obvious.

Opponents to the bill claimed that cutting the president's term is unconstitutional and that parliament's term should be extended to meet the original date for the presidential election.

In other words, "If we're gonna be unconstitutional, my way is better than your way."

I would not have guessed something from Iran would've brightened my morning!

#4  Not so sure Jo. Quite a few mullahs consider what they have in Iran a racket to die for, but they prefer not to die for it. They don't mind a regular Reza schmuck to take a bullet, if needs to be, but there is not that many that subscribe to the apocalyptic mahdi lunacy. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that if Ahmadinutjob will be in power when the nuke program may be completed, it would spell trouble. They don't care about others, but do about themselves. The presiding Nutjob has to go before becoming more dangerous.

Not that Rafsanjani is not an anti-semite spitting venom, he is. But he knows what a nice scapegoat Jews make and would milk it to what it is worth, this constant Nutjob's rhetoric about wiping out Jews is too much and may get many people killed.

#1  Don't want a president who foams at the mouth in public?

Who'd want to oppose that, anyway?
