SHAHLA

Hands of Ignorance

Ever so victorious in defeating yet another woman

03-Dec-2010 (5 comments)
One would look at Shahla and her bold, brave, manner of defending herself in public court, and would wonder sadly at how her passion was so overtly wasted on the lustful desires of a man. What would Shahla be if not infatuated at age 13 with a grown man who enjoyed celebrity status? Where would she be now if her talents, passion and drive had been exerted towards attainments which would be possible for women in an atmosphere of true equality? >>>

PERSIAN GULF

Football in Hot Water

Possible boycott of 2011 AFC Asian football cup in Qatar

03-Dec-2010 (14 comments)
The 2011 AFC Asian Football Cup will be hosted by Qatar in January 2011. It is possible that sports officials there will refer to the Persian Gulf by another name. If this occurs, Iranian athletes, administrators, and football fans should boycott the event. The use of a name other than Persian Gulf occurred at the 2010 Asian games by the Chinese this past month. Many Iranians were surprised and dismayed by this action, but it should not be surprising that China and Western countries would place their economic self-interest in business relationships with Arab countries above any concerns about historical accuracy>>>

بر قوری داغ بوسه مگذار هرگز

به گرمی‌ دست میرزا را فشرد و گفت،"باند...جیمز باند."

از در که وارد اتاق منشی شد محمد میرزا کلاه قاجاریش را ماهرانه بسوی میخ روی دیوار پرتاب کرد. کلاه دو سه بار دور میخ چرخ زد و به دیوار آویزان ماند. منشی‌ خاتون ملقب به `صنار سه شاهی` اینبار هیچ محلش نذاشت. محمد میرزا رفت جلو که طبق معمول لب بگیره ‌ ولی‌ صنار سه شاهی گفت، "برو گمشو تو،`میم` کارت داره." محمد میرزا که خودش می‌دونست چه غلطی کرده با آهی دستاشواز شلیتهصنار سهشاهی برداشت وگفت، " دلت را اینقدر شورننداز خوشگله ،ماموریتی نیست که از راضی‌ کردن تو خطرناک تر باشه."

DEATH

زیر صندلی خالی

آخ شهلا جان چقدر پیر شدی از بس مردی!

03-Dec-2010 (6 comments)
زیر ملافه های سفید، صورت معصوم ات را در کف دست چپم می گذارم تا ترانه ی هم آغوشی من و تو در حالی شروع شود که من امروز حال خوشی ندارم. به قول ساناز، صدای شهلا در سرم زوزه می کشد. حالا که از ساعت پنج صبح، ساعاتی گذشته، شاید تنها یک عشق بازی بتواند خاطره ی مرگ و طناب دار را از سرم بیاندازد و کاری کند که برای بیست و هشت دقیقه به خوابی بروم که تعبیرش را دلم نمی خواهد حتی به آب رودخانه ی پشت پنجره بگویم>>>

Why would the Islamic Republic want to eliminate its own scientists?

01-Dec-2010 (13 comments)
Once again two scientists with nuclear connection have been subject of bomb explosion. Majid Shahriari was an Elementary Particle physicist, and a member of the Scientific Board of Beheshti University. He was driving to work with his wife when the explosion occurred near the intersection of Imam Ali and Artesh Freeway. He was killed and his wife survived with injuries. The assailants riding motorcycles attached magnetized bombs to the car>>>

Who's a threat to peace?

Iran's independent stance is hugely popular among Arabs

01-Dec-2010 (66 comments)
The latest batch of Wikileaks revelations give the impression that, next to Israel, it's the Arab states that are most energetically pressuring the U.S. to attack Iran. In terms of the real threat to Iran, that 's definitely putting the cart before the horse. In the first place, the Arab governments mentioned as being hostile to Iran – Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates – are all undemocratic, unpopular regimes that depend on U.S. support to stay in power>>>

LIFE

It’s The Season

Can memories be erased just because we moved? Nah!

01-Dec-2010 (4 comments)
Year after year, the holiday blues seem to arrive a bit earlier than before. As we join the celebration of a season that matters to the people we’ve come to love, it’s only polite to show enthusiasm. Once again, the stores are swarmed with shoppers and a bad economy seems long forgotten. Now that I don’t have an extended list of gifts to buy, preparation is somewhat easier. As usual, my husband writes many packages of greeting cards in his best handwriting. I do the shopping and food preparations>>>

دروغ هایی به بزرگی خدا (3)

خلافت ابوبکر تنها دو سال و 3 ماه به درازا کشید. او فرصت یافت تا برخی از یاغیان عرب در سرزمین حجاز را ساکت کند و تمامی شبه جزیره را به تصرف درآورد، سردار عرب، "خالد" را به فتح بخش هایی از ایران و روم شرقی (بیزانس) بفرستد و... خالد تا پیش از مرگ ابوبکر، فرصت یافت بخش های جنوبی عراق را از ایرانیان و بخش هایی از سوریه در امپراطوری روم شرقی را تصرف کند>>>

رفیق سیبیلو: کباب ترش رو تو رب انار جا انداختید، یا آب انار؟
پرولتاریای اول: تو آب انار تازه، مال ساوه.

رولتاریای اول: بله خانم، ما اصلا زردچوبه استفاده نمی‌‌کنیم! >>>
