Returning to his vomit

During a Press Briefing on January 9, 2003 in Manila, Philippines; a reporter asked then Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security John Bolton a question: "On Iraq; the arms inspectors have not found any specific weapons of mass destruction that you've been outlining so far. What would be the justification for the U.S. Government to take military action if indeed it does?" >>>

Islamic Republic's flag taken down, Iran's flag raised instead

The following are pictures of a car dealership in North Hollywood that, prior to being informed, was flying the flag of the Islamic Republic. After a visit by an MPG member of the Los Angeles branch the auto dealership enthusiastically proceeded to bring down the Islamic Republic's flag and instead fly the genuine flag of Iran which was donated by Ketab Corporation.

Iranians living abroad can participate in relatively easy forms of activism such as the event that was described above to protect Iran's history, culture and territorial integrity.

The pictures below once again prove that Los Angeles is the ever-present capital of the Iranian opposition.

Fine, Let's Talk about Sex, baby

Let's get the most important issue out of the way: Apparently I've been drinking the wrong wine: Merlot is out and Shiraz is in if your name is not Sally but Sadaf. Phew...thanks Mr. Bahmani...To think that all this time, I wasn't doing what Iranian women do. (For the record, my comment on well done steak and Merlot was SARCASTIC. I'm a quarter French. My French ancestors would nefrin me if they ever caught me eating a piece of meat mal cuvee!)  >>>

I married myself

As an Iranian girl, it is so hard not to get obsessed with getting married. There is so much pressure from our families and from society but it also seems like a lot of it is internal. I want to get married, I want to share my life with someone, I want to have children - but before I can do that successfully, I need to learn how to love myself. >>>

The New Iranian.com Site

The new Iranian.com site is very nice and COOOOL... but it's like I have remodeled my kitchen and now I have to find where all the pots and pans and other items are in the kitchen cabinets! I now have to look for the "news headlines", the "Iranians of the day", the silly cartoons (!)>>>

A Cordial Request from Management

Management should look into implementing a lasting “ignore feature” for use by registered users at their discretion. Hossein Derakhshan (hoder) has entered into Iranian.com dome.  He deserves to be permanently zapped by me clicking on “ignore” feature. He will be off my screen. This power of choice does not violate his right of speech.   >>>

Just Issue a "fatwa" about whoever thinks " Mosaddegh" was a human being!

Due to Ms. Mahshid Amirshahi article about the old and boring topic of " 28 Mordad" as a person who belongs to a generation that had nothing to do with the revolution like to say I am sick and tired of intolerable, rigid- minded and narcissistic people belong to the past. I don't underestand why nobody has right to criticize Mosadegh or think diffrent about "28 Mordad". A person like " Jalal Matini" runs a research about that era and he does not say a word from himself but brings a lot of evidence get accused by pro Mosaddeghs as " Shahollahi" ( Such a meaningless word) and even somebody is claming "Matini" is an illitrate man in leteracy! >>>

Iranian Satellite Station Defrauds Audience

The following is an account by a friend of mine, Borhan, evidencing, yet again, the lack of both journalistic and quality care by most Iranian satellite stations.

As I was flipping channels out of curiosity to see if anyone with 1/10 brain about producing TV material has arrived on Persian satellite television to surprise me with something bearable, I stopped to look at some sort of auction on Kanal Yek Television (Channel One) was having with a lady who looked like Shirin Ebadi with a shorter hair-cut at 9:20PM on August 26, 2007. After a few seconds I noticed she was using the word IPod to describe the product, when I looked and listened closer, I noticed that the product was indeed NOT apple's Ipod but rather one of these many Chinese knock-offs of Ipod [The linked product is the closest thing to that I could find online] >>>

Shit that keeps me up

I often wonder what happens if a suicide bomber finds out that one of his 40 virgins is not a virgin. What is the return policy in heaven? >>>
