#2 It's not a newspaper if all it prints is fiction.

#3 These Black Turbans need a complete cerebral rewiring job. They honestly believe their own s--t.

It would sure be nice to have the opposition get the kettle a-boiling in Iran. Sure would help.

#4 I have a good friend, wonderful woman, born in Iran -- full blooded Persian. She and most of her family left after the Black Turbans took over. Three months ago she was fearful but optimistic over events in Iran. Saw her Tuesday; she's real depressed. Apparently a lot of steam has gone out of the student movement.

AP, this is what's known in the trade as "breathing your own exhaust." Less polite people might put it as "sucking on your own butt."

Iran's Ayatollah complaining about lack of free speech in Iraq is like the Palestinians whingeing about Israeli aggression. I say; "Suck it up @ssholes. If you want to play hardball, look for the fast pitches." Yassin must have blinked on that last low-and-inside strike.

Incidentally, in view of how intensely suppressed Iran's dissidents are, it may require outside intervention to oust the Guardian Council. Such intercession must occur before Iran assembles its first nuclear weapon. There remains no other option to this scenario unless a credible deterrent to terrorism is devised.

I opt for a not-so-subtle holding of all Islamic Holy sites hostage against further mass atrocities, but that's just me.
