Political Sex

This is a woman from Iran - named Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani – who has been found guilty of letting a man from Iran kill her husband, which also means she was found not-guilty of being the person who actually killed him. She got sentenced to death by stoning… the actual murderer gets to live. Ah, Iran; a great place to be a man. I think that’s the country’s actual slogan. From this story:

A lawyer for an Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning has told a British newspaper she was tortured for two days before confessing on state TV to being an accomplice to her husband’s death.

That story also says she had another lawyer, but he fled to Norway because the government issued an arrest warrant for him, and have detained his wife (she will probably be stoned to death next).

But wait! After international out-cry to the idea of a death by stoning the compassionate government in Iran has instead decided to hang her to death. The big softies.

Ah, Iran. A Great Place to be a Man.

*They actually have that slogan on a poster of a cat hanging from a tree branch.

Just a quick note about Senator Ted Kennedy’s death… sad? Sure. When people die it’s usually sad. I’m at a coffee shop (that’s why I put up that coffee picture I took with my iPhone, not that I couldn’t think of something better, maybe a picture of Kennedy, but I was feeling lazy), so I’m at a coffee shop and some guy picks up a newspaper, shakes his head and says, “I can’t believe Teddy’s gone.” Really!? He had brain cancer – and he was 77 years old. Either of those attributes makes it highly likely you’ll die soon. People are stupid.

When I heard that he had died, I thought: huh, well, that makes sense, he had brain cancer… whoa, look at that chick, you can totally see her nipples through her shirt… I wonder if she knows… I bet if I was a Kennedy I could totally nail her…
