Iran's state television says the supreme leader has ordered an investigation into claims of fraud in last week's presidential election.This tweet from iran_change intrigues me the most.

I haven't heard from my father. I am going to try to call him later on today and see what he thinks of all this and if he has heard from any of our
relatives there. A part of me is sort of excited that people there are finally rebelling and protesting after so many years of apathy. But it is troubling too
and I wish it didn't come to this.

no we're not in agreeance! the guys in naj's first post were still the hottest i've seen so far.
i'm disappointed though that a hot sweaty revolution isn't resulting in more shirtless guys. BTW, are they not allowed to wear shorts there? I don't see anyone wearing those. or tanktops. (for guys ofcourse) |

The girls in Naj's post were fierce, but none of the happy green boys matched the hotness of Mr. Calvin. Sorry, Nomiiiiiiiiiii.

I too have been following the news coming out as closely as I can, and agree with the admonishment of most media's general lack of coverage. Nomi is right
though, in that there was a fair amount of coverage of the situation on CNN, that I saw flipping around while I watched basketball (I generally avoid 24 hour
news channels). However, it was repetitive, and was based around simply relaying the real reporting being done by bloggers and twitter. It's become
fairly obvious that "news" channels aren't even really trying anymore.
On a different note, I'm really curious as to what is going on in this picture.

lol @ onno's avatar.
the blogs have been overflowing with pics and videos - hopefully Naj posts some new sets. there's a really good one showing how the riot police beat up the crowds, and in turn the crowds helped out the police (end of video): |

even worse .. its the symbol of the ayatollah
The symbol consists of four crescents and a sword. The four crescents form the word Allah: from right to left the first crescent is the letter 'Aleph', the second one is the letter 'Laam', the sword (straight line) is the second 'Laam', and the third and forth crescents together form the letter 'Heh'. Above the sword (central part) is a tashdid (a diacritical mark for gemination resembling a letter W). The sword represents a powerful and sovereign state. The shape of the emblem is chosen to remind people of a red tulip, for the memory of the (young) people who died for Iran, building on a legendary belief that red tulips grow on the blood of martyrs, valuing patriotism and self-sacrifice. It also bears strong resemblance to ancient Iranian Sassanid art forms usually found on royal crowns and coins[citation needed]. The symbol was designed by Hamid Nadimi, and was officially approved by Ayatollah Khomeini on May 9, 1980. |

And while Iran is on the verge of potentially seeing snipers gun down a huge bunch of protesters heading to the Ayatollah Khomeini's shrine, MSNBC's
Morning Joe treats us to a segment with ubercreepo Mike Allen plugging Politico's hottest DC hunks list and freaking everyone the fuck out by trying to
come off as straight by taking time out to hit on the married Mika Bzdsgkjskdf$#$R%@#$Rski.

OK that display with Ahmeninijad draping every single image of him in the Iranian flag and ayatollah symbol is even more annoying that the Republican's
flag pins.
