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?

Please tell me that at least the tear gas canisters didn’t say “Made in USA” like the ones in Egypt.

@Dodgerblue: “The crowd caught a whiff/of that crazy Casbah jive”

I’ve noticed Bushites are crawling out from out of the woodwork and claiming the credit for the protests. Liz Cheney apparently is a great middle east hero.

@Mistress Cynica: The pepper gas in my briefcase was made in Bennington, Vermont. In addition to being 10 percent pepper oil, it also has a UV dye for tracking bad guys.

TJ: Black Eagle visiting my neck of the woods Thursday, followed by a swing up to suburban PDX to no doubt hang with Mistress Cynica.

@Mistress Cynica: You made me laugh. I had visions of beatnik undergrads in woolen sweaters and Birks lovingly handcrafting each canister by hand while listening to Phish or whatever.

@Dodgerblue: never saw that one. but wish i had bought and saved a “don’t blame me i voted for bush” bumper sticker from back in the day when clinton took hw down and started the republican’ts off on their bat shit crazy streak.
