#1 It may be too much to hope for, but let's all pray that this revolution succeeds where '09 failed--and that President EgoJunkie McTeleprompter doesn't screw it up this time. (I think there's more than enough rope and lampposts in Tehran to accommodate Ahmadnejahd and all of the Mad Mullahs. Go get 'em, Iranians!)

#2 Is this n a picture of Neda Agha-Solta, the young woman who was shot in 2009 and became a symbol for the anti-government protesters?

At some point the mullahs and the mullah's chew-toy, Dinnerjacket, won't be able to suppress the protesters. I may have to start a lamp-post export business. The country has suffered under these theocrats far more than under the Shah. Go for it people of Iran.

#3 No, it's not Neda.

Neda is, however, a symbol and a heroine. If there's any justice she's in heaven.

#4 I sure was glad to hear all the administration officials denouncing...someone else.
