Wonderful news

So in Iran....don't you walk away...HEY!...don't click over to Amazon and start pricing Thriller CD's...this is serious...I'm holding the serious pencil....get off iTunes....we're going to talk about Iran and you're going to listen. OK, so over in Iran the Bad leaders of the Dangerous Iranian regime has an Off the Wall idea: using the death penalty on protest leaders. Because the situation isn't fucked up, violent, and contentious enough already.

A senior Iranian cleric called on the judiciary Friday to impose death sentences on the leaders of the recent protests against alleged fraud in the June 12 presidential election.

'I call on the judiciary for a decisive confrontation with the leaders of these illegal demonstrations and ask for capital punishment against them without any mercy,' Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, who is close to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said at Friday prayers.

This all before fellow Supreme Bearded God-King Khamenei gives another speech that will probably blame everything on the British, call for protesters to "get over it", and then either start endorsing aspects of Ayatollah Khatami's great idea or intimate that the police forces are going to stop going easy on protesters. Not to mention Mousavi starting to sound a bit more pissed off, a bit more bolder, and a bit more revolutionary each day.

What this all means is...hey wait don't walk away...don't watch that Indian Thriller video...no...listen...this is important...I was going to make a point about escalation and militancy...drugs?...$500 million in debt?...no wait this is a critical moment for Iran...wow....fine leave. Here's a post about Jackson, Islam, and Iran, maybe that'll help.
