ACORN's probably taking notes in preparation for '10 and '12.

Algebra was invented in India, as was Obama's namesake, the Zero.

#7 ...Be careful what we wish for: FoxNews pointed out this morning that Mousavi is even more of a fanatic than Dinnerjacket, at least when it comes to foreign policy. He's a moderate only when it comes to the more intrusive aspects of the Mullocracy's domestic policies.

#8 On your mark, get set, RIOT.
Supporters of the main election challenger to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad clashed with police and set up barricades of burning tires Saturday as authorities declared the hard-line president was re-elected in a landslide. Opponents responded with the most serious unrest in the capital in a decade and charges that the result was the work of a "dictatorship."

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, closed the door on any chance he could use his limitless powers to intervene in the disputes from Friday's election. In a message on state TV, he urged the nation to unite behind Ahmadinejad, calling the result a "divine assessment."

Ima guess Khamenei foresaw the results. A vision or sumthin'.

#11 Actually it's not that smart to rig elections to make them appear as a "landslide victory".

Hugo was smarter in that respect
