Stuff below the fold

heh. The nincompoop who is president of Iran is claiming that the US arranged the Wikileaks.

Considering that the leaks confirm that the Saudis wanted the US to bomb Iran, that it showed Iran is into smuggling drugs, supporting terror against Iraq, etc. it makes you think that they might have a point (sarcasm)

Actually, I agree with this story: what's the big deal? Even I, in the backwaters of the Philippines, knew about most of the stuff leaked, except for that botox and bimbo story...

An Iranian "scientist" was killed yesterday and another wounded...
I'll wait before I believe Israel was behind it because I remember this murder....note they were all teachers in universities where anti gov't sentiment was strong.
They might have been a "to-fer" for the gov't: warn the green movement and get to blame Israel.


on the other hand, Roger Simon thinks he was indeed targeted:

PersianParadox has an interesting post on a calligraphy exhibition where their ex president gave a speech using the revered Ali as an example to show how Islam supports freedom of expression.

Katherine Lopez explains how the Pope's condom remarks are being twisted: The real story is how sexuality and love in marriage has been degraded in the last 50 years in the west.
Ironically, the statistics show that cheating is less common than you would think LINK


There are ways to support family planning to strengthen the family (NFP and even using the pill for married women to space pregnancies to improve child maternal health, as was done in Iran), but alas, the US government is bribing Pinoy to support the present "modern safe sex/no responsibility" ideas into our Reproductive health bill and sex education in our schools, despite opposition from Catholics and Muslims.

The Psychiatrists have decided narcissism is not a mental illness.

Narcissistic personality disorder, characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance and the need for constant attention....

yes, I guess they consider Lady Gaga and most politicians mentally normal.

Download a song by Justin Bieber, and the copyright cops will get you.
But they ignore China's huge network of industrial and intellectual theft.

which is why I can get first run movies sooner at the Palenke than at the PirateBay...

Don't mess with Texas:

from strategyPage:November 18, 2010: ....The state of Texas, in fact, is engaged in what state security officials have called paramilitary operations. The Texas state police are part of the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). The Texas DPS has 16 helicopters and uses them along the border to deploy field intelligence teams and tactical strike teams. The DPS runs a joint operation intelligence center (JOIC) in the state capital, Austin.
