Defiance

I was born with very little artistic and literary talent. I was not even scientifically nor mathematically gifted. Every little thing that I may or may not have achieved in life been through [KHAR KHONI] and being a [book worm].

تفرقه بیانداز و حکومت کن

 

شاید شما هم این جمله را بارها شنیده باشید ولی آیا به عمق این جمله دقت کرده اید؟  راستی چه کسی از تفرقه ما استفاده میکند؟  یک مشت تازه به دوران رسیده که از فقر و فاقه به قدرت و ثروت باد آورده ای رسیده اند.

Bebinim 'o' Tamasha Konim

Each year, people better than me, have called, emailed, blogged, begged, tried to bribe Omid Kordestani's secretary, and even tried to ambush Omid at parties to convince our mightiest sword at Google to convince that small, evil, mean-spirited graphic designer in the basement, whose privileged job it is to put up the holiday logos, to stop playing with himself for 5 minutes, and put up a God-damned Haft Seen Google logo for once>>>

Rafsanjani's Long-Term Strategy

Empowering Himself Through Helping the GreensAs the Persian Nowruz New Year fast approaches and Iran's post-election crisis enters its ninth month, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani remains as mercurial a figure as ever in Iranian politics. True to his nickname of Kooseh, or "The Shark," Rafsanjani has been paying lip-service to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei while simultaneously signaling (if only tacitly) solidarity with Iran's Green opposition movement. With his reputation as an incredibly calculating figure, it is hard to believe that this contradiction is coincidental>>>

Nowruz Shmoruz - who gives a sh%&?

Rather than passing a Nowruz resolution, do our community a real favor. Work together and put egos aside>>>
