When will we learn? You cannot deal with a devil better known. Mousavi, the former militant Prime Minister is our Savior now? Please!

And Green is the color of the protest? Green? That same clashy color that doesn't ever go with anything else (get it?), and is only the most obvious seyedi symbol of the very same religion that has gotten us into this mess in the first place? That's our color of resistance? I hate green.

And to get back at the Basijis, the coolest trick we can come up with is to go hide up on the rooftops and yell "Allah-o Akbar"? Because it's ironic? (Hah! That'll teach them!)

And after all this, all that we wanted was for the same ministry of Interior stooges to do a recount? Are you kidding!

After 30 years of the continually over glorified revolution that precisely started with the first stolen election, namely the famous referendum in 1979, one would think that Iranians inside Iran have been quietly thinking deeply, contemplating all the options, really planning that next move towards a more free society and a truly open democracy. Ah the details, the perfect plan! Yes! Yes! Huzzah! Harrumph!

Yeah Right! Your Aunt's Life!

It seems too hard to come out and just say what Iran wants (and deserves after 2500 years of apathy);

- A "Real" Democracy
- Separation of Mosque and State (Can't we just try it for 30 years?)
- All the "Usual" Personal Freedoms

and just for tabloid fun and to keep Darius Kadivar quiet,

- A Symbolic Powerless Monarchy

Next time guys, instead of marching to Azadi Square in the hopes that the mollahs will get your subtle hint, why don't you march to their homes. Maybe after a few sleepless nights they'll realize they really must go now.

Also, next time, put all the women on the first 40 rows of the march's front line, so that the basijis have to cut through them to get to you. Sure it's cowardly, but not as cowardly as the basijis. Plus aren't basijis not allowed to touch women or they explode into flames or something? No wait that's HBO's "True Blood".

Doesn't anyone know how to stop a basiji motorbike? A stick in the front spokes? Remember when they fall, don't beat them up, just laugh at them. Not to be mean, it's just funny.

Speaking of funny,

How many basijis does it take to screw in a light bulb? 4. One to hold the light bulb still while the other 3 beat the crap out of it.

Did you hear what happened? The basijis told the Borg "Vot Deed You Essay? Resistance is futile?" Then they beat the crap out of the Borg.

Seriously (or not) there were several "Martin Luther King Moments" in these past weeks, that alas have now come and gone.

Mr. Pahlavi, Sir, you really should have gone to Iran in "48 hours" as the rumor suggested. True, maybe you would have gotten shot at or arrested, or jostled. But either way, it is high time you did something outside the box. Get into some kind of trouble please! You've been such a good boy your whole life, go on, break a window for god's sake! Yor dad's dead and your Mom's a movie star. No one will know! Seeing how low you stand today, seriously where's the downside of redemption?

And last but not least the radiant (soon to be radiation) Ms. Ebadi, apparently in all of this you were just so darn busy admiring your Nobel, and just couldn't spare us the time to actually be Noble. Oh wait! you must have had another one of your famous court cases that you never seem to win, that must be what kept you from marching. Because there was so darn much to march for. Pick any one! You could have say, marched for women's freedom? Buy wait, you're much to much of a Moslem for that aren't you? I thought that somebody told me once, Ebadi is Swedish for Bitch.

OK now I'm really bored with all of this. Health Care reform is starting to look really interesting now.
