Iran Discovers Exciting New Symbolic Meanings for White Doves

Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, speaks in Mashhad, Iran's holiest city Tuesday, April, 11, 2006. Iran has successfully enriched uranium for the first time, a landmark in its quest to develop nuclear fuel, hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday, although he insisted his country does not aim to develop atomic weapons. In a nationally televised speech, Ahmadinejad called on the West 'not to cause an everlasting hatred in the hearts of Iranians' by trying to force Iran to abandon uranium enrichment.

Isn't it thrilling? Also at the same event, a group of interpretive dancers performed a special ballet about the beauty of enriched uranium. And no, I'm not kidding:

It's like an exotic version of Oliver!, but with a pink and blue chiffon mushroom cloud at the end.

So much for the rumors that gay men are not tolerated in Iran. The dude in the red bolero looks gayer than Karl Rove himself.

The insanity encapsulated in these photographgic gems boggles the mind... And, in true Keeping Up With the Joneses fashion, can't we strike back with our own Interrogater's Kickline or Borderguard Ballad number? PSP, thank you for the best blog ever!

No more insane than watching Ashcroft singing,"Let the Eagle Soar." Good fucking grief. I wish we could round all the assholes up, regardless of color or creed, and ship them right into the sun...

Ashcroft singing, "Let the Eagle Soar" should soon be featured in one of Miss Pony's Monday audio blogs.
That would top them all.

It looks like the Bollywood (or Farsiwood, to be more exact) version of "Doctor Atomic." It makes my brain want to explode.

Holy mother of god.

You're the only blog I have to visit every day, Princess. I love you, although you would probably prefer that I not touch you.

And my verification word this morning was "hurtam," which scares me.

Holy shit! It's like The Producers did Dr. Strangelove as West Side Iranian in Paris. Move over Cockettes.
