The One Without the Happy Ending
“Thousands of opposition supporters have clashed with security forces in the centre of the Iranian capital, Tehran. Police used tear gas and detained dozens rallying in solidarity with uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia. There was one report of a death in Tehran.” [BBC]
Wait. I did like … ooodles of the watching wogs gone liberty. And now like I got to watch moresum? Like they can’t go OH? Whatevs.
Keeps getting worse for the Iranian Mullahs. Gee, that’s too bad.
@ManchuCandidate: Remember the “Ayatollah Assahola” bumper stickers?
