I said we would have an election. I never said anything about democracy.

… I get too many of these.
“Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.” – Stalin
It’s a good picture, but I got more joy out of looking at the Lolz you might like.
Is it just me, or is there a problem that whenever you click the ones on the recent front few pages, it leads you to these three LOLZ you may like and when you click one it leads you BACK to the last three? It’s like being stuck in a permanent loop.
I’ve been getting that too. I suspect a bug in the random number generator that addresses the caption database.
It’s ALL I ever get on there lately. I’ve resorted to using the Random button, which only ever gets me in arguments I’ll never finish because the user quit the site already.
But it does help you brush up on PK history.
It does. I’m glad to see the troll to actual commenter ratio has improved for the better by quite a bit. BTW, Janie, check your faciebewk.
I did, thank you! You’re a bit too late for the weird, mad conversation that froo, diss, charro, shortright and I had when I mentioned having no money. It went from there to catapulting frogs and shoe shopping. I believe you were mentioned as a possible way to get money.
*shakes boob tassels at tyler for money*
i needs some new shoes!! and i needs to buy LOTS of frogs so that we can recreate the plagues!!!
(not really about the shoes… i have like 105 pairs already)
And recreating the plagues are a MUST because it is an integral part in our plan to see froo’s 80′s hair complete with banana clip.
I’m actually not sure where those pictures are, LOL. I bet Mom has them somewhere. I promise I’ll post them when I find them. Now, count your blessings, as you got to see the pirate pictures
How exactly does one go about seeing these pirate pictures?
Eric, join the group “PK irregulars” on facebook, Froo is on there. So am… I! -flash teeth- MUAHAHAHA
I just joined! Woohoo!
I added you two but I forgot to say it was me.
well duh… why *else* would we need to recreate the plagues?
*snicker*
Oh, come on. I would only pay Monopoly, silly! (Pathetic joke about how Tyler is too young to understand what real money looks like.)
I’m one of the few who actually believe Ahmadinejad really did win-possibly in a landslide.
Please keep in mind that a LOT of the people opposed to this moron have left Iran.
Also, do yourself the intellectual favor of understanding that not everyone in the world thinks like you-your way of thinking is a cultural construct, as is the way of thinking of Iranis.
I know it’s not a popular notion (I don’t like it much, either), but the truth rarely is.
BTW, with all the MJ coverage (retch), I haven’t seen much about the massacre in Iran lately.
Priorities, priorities….
Sisy, how do you think Iran managed to count 40 million paper votes in two hours?
And your first to points don’t make sense- If a LOT of people opposed to Ayatollah left, how is it that Ahmadenutjob still won the majority vote?
1) It’s not impossible that Ahmadinejad both won the election and engaged in election fraud; IE, that he would have won even if he hadn’t cheated. In fact, I think that it’s pretty likely.
2) We should all be aware that the main difference between Ahmadinejad and his opponent is that his opponent admits The Holocaust actually occurred.
3) That being said, my personal excitement over the protests in Iran is that the young people in Iran actually like America, and don’t particularly want to live in a theocratic state. My hope is these protests may lead to a movement to oust the mullahs and install a more secular government that we could establish a better relationship with.
Yeah, I agree that he engaged in election fraud but most likely one by a much, much smaller margin. And #3 I wholeheartedly agree with.
(1) How does Iran poll; by voting machine or paper ballot? I’m asking because there is no technical reason why a voting machine should not be made that can count the votes as they are cast, which makes fraud easier, but also makes it possible that an honest election could declare a preliminary result in 2 hours, and verify ballots in slow time.
Paws, I’ve only heard paper ballot. If someone cares to show me something telling me I’m wrong, I’d be glad to hear it.
In fact, the elections officials in Iran had said they would be announcing the election results on Saturday evening, the day after the election. Then they announced the results ten minutes after the polls closed. Suspicious, in my book.
You’re right, Tyler. Most of it was paper ballots. In fact you can see the photos of both the opposition leader and Ahmedinejad putting their ballots into a blue ballot box (Link shows Mahmoud putting his in). I assume it was like that for most people. Perhaps the green-label says “Votes we’ll actually count” and they removed that bin shortly after the photo-op?
I also agree wtih most of what PM said above.
Also, (another link) there’s pictures here of lots of people voting. Not seeing any sort of automated machines to collect the votes, just paper. However, we never know. They could have been bubble-form ballots and scanned into some sort of Scantron machine.
I am of the opinion that we may be witnessing the leading edge of a reformation in Islam. If the mullahs are overthrown and a more secular government is installed, what does this do about Islam? Is it then modified to accept more secular rule or does it dig in and fight for control?
The players are different, but 500 years ago, there was a reformation that changed everything, too. Who do you think is Henry VIII in today’s drama?
I’m Henry the VIII, I am
Henry the VIII, I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door;
She’s been married seven times before.
And every one was a Henry (Henry!)
She wouldn’t settle for a Willy or a Sam (or a Sam!)
I’m her eighth old man named Henry,
Henry the VIII I am.
(Second verse, same as the first)
I’m sorry, LG. That was a really great post but I couldn’t resist.
second verse, same as the first…
a little bit LOUDER and a whole lot WORSE!
I’M HEN-ER-AY THE EIGHTH, I AM
HEN-ER-AY THE EIGHTH, I AM, I AM
I GOT MARRIED TO THE WIDOW NEXT DOOR
SHE’S BEEN MARRIED *SEVEN* TIMES BEFORE!
AAAAAAAND EV’RY ONE WAS A HEN-ER-AY (HEN-ER-AY)……
girl scout camp is fun
henry the eighth was almost as much fun as “black socks” (blaaaaack socks they never get dirty, the longer you wear them the blacker they get. sometimes i think about washing them but something in sides me keeps says not yet, not yet, not yet) or the one where the ranger is riding through the woods and ends up riding around naked (can’t remember the title).
Hmm, I’m not sure that a concept like freedom is a cultural concept at all. Weren’t these the same people that pushed out the Shah? I’m pretty sure it’s universally sought after but in many cases pushed down by fear and oppression, until things come to a boiling point like in Iran. I’m not even saying it wasn’t a fair election, although I would lean towards not because of the controlling nature of the regime. I’m wishing the protesters all the luck in the world.
If you truly believed what you say, I’d expect you to support a transparent recount and audit, rather than hiding behind a misplaced notion of cultural relativism. Instead, you seem to be trying to justify your support for the mullahs themselves, rather than the election, and I’m curious why that is.
Why hasn’t anyone thought of eliminating the ‘ Supreme ‘ leader, the Ayatollah, and start all over again. With the theocratic leadership out of the picture, perhaps a real election could be held.
Yes.
It doesn’t work in a true Islamic state. All you’d do would be replace the theologist, and arguably (look, even Muslims might argue both sides on this one) make the assassinated incumbent into a martyr.
I have two theories — either Sunni and Shia Islam just haven’t moved out of their “divine right” phase yet, or because religious affiliation is the simplest path to becoming a strong man in the region.
I tend to go with the former. They’re just about the same age Christianity was during the uhm…
What would you call it?
Call what?
Crusades, Inquisitions, etc?
Ah, I thnk of that as the age of the neo-pharisees…
Yeah, but the big counter-example is Indonesia — a large, majority-Muslim, secular state. (Apparently the majority are Sunni, at least according to Wikipedia, which I didn’t know.)
Link – Wikipedia’s list of Muslim majority countries, including the status of Islam wrt the state, which is interesting.
Why do these always turn into political discussions? Can’t we focus on the humour (or lack thereof)?
Then again, this is meant for political pictures.
I guess I just prefer the puns and squeezes you get on FailBlog, in the mornin’.
Failblog gives me a headache to read the comments sections. I guess I prefer learning something and hearing different viewpoints of the world around me. Also, we give hugs too.
Yes we do! And we have plenny o’ puns. Can we start a run on this nest, actually?
Pitty?
Seconded. What Jane said. *yawns*
I can’t wait for this week to be over!
it’s 4:43 here. not that i’m obsessively looking at the clock or anything.
we’re going to the bar at 5… straight from the office. i desperately need a drink after this week.
I would love to go out but for two reasons:
1. I have no money.
2. It’s Charlie’s birthday today and we are having steak and crab legs and cheesecake.
Yum! Any extra food?
I call the cheesecake.
Only if it’s chocolate, though.
You can have the rest.
I’ll take any form of cheesecake!
She has to wait for it to soften before she can bake it..
You mean she has to wait for the dough to go limp before she can get it hot and rising?
Yeasty.
HAHA! <3
*hugs*
Might get yeasty …
C’mon guys, don’t make me think of yeast infections.
By your inflection, you would rather speak of erections?
Judging by your post’s direction, that would cause an infection.
Now that sounds like an instigation.
No, merely an agitation and inflation.
Upon reflection, I have no objection to your affection.
Pitty, I’m sure that’s only for this section.
My election of your, um, section
calls for a great deal of discretion.
That is a good election.
Well then, I guess you’ve made an exception for your connection. Now maybe I won’t be a C-section. (fail- had to google “ection”
Maybe only this session?
Well then you’ll wish you’d have worn protection, or at least had the injection.
You have quite a predilection.
No, most of my posts are deflection. Couldn’t you figure, by reading the collection?
(What’s wrong with your FB chat?)
Only after dissection.
Then you have a faulty system for detection. Perhaps I could help with its correction?
Only if we have an insurrection.
Cheesecake was actually several cupcake sized “All to myself” cheescakes and they were plain with blueberry topping. Not my favorite but Charlie likes blueberry and this is what he requested.
The crab legs were all gone. We had some steak left though.
Happy birthday Charlie!
Ha! It’s over for me and the weekend is here, man!
Oh, and here’s a little trick I conned myself into believing. I now share it with you in hopes that it will make your week more bearable.
-
Instead of thinking of it as a five day work week, think of your weekend as starting on Wednesday afternoon. It’s just that because of your work load, you have to work Thursday and Friday as overtime (even though it is straight time). Voila, you now have a four day weekend!
Janie, where is Pittypat to prove Omnes’ pun point wrong? I’m thinking we NEED a run on this one.
Omnes so sure I want to be at your Servos on this one
.
Paws shucks, Pitty, 4thot about this one for a second. Who DOESN’T want my Servos?
AC frou your lowly ploy, Tyler.
Once Again, it’s not exactly a Diss now is it?
Well it’s not hard tessie that you charro good guy.
Anniee body would tell you to keep your Jane up and take time to smell the rhorhoses.
I’m not exactly Eric The Viking Man. I’m more of a James The Shortright, you know? Or Eddie the Saint of Claire.
Don’t get so DWN on yourself Tyler..
Well, it’s not like my record isn’t already Dhoti.
Oh, but it’s short, right?
And it’s starting to Fester.
Have some Pitty, I alrEddie said it wasn’t that Faerie-land-esque!
Maybe if you Tyler yellow ribbon around it …
We may have to transPort you to a different LandMark.
Affirmative, Foxtrot. I’ll take the Sethatives right away to ease the pain in my Lefty arm.
I say we Maxwell go out and get Silverhammered.
I’m part of a pun run! *blushes*
Now go to McDavid’s for me, okay? Then you can be part of a bun run too.
Wow, Captain, dis milit(ary attit)ude will take me
HST get used to, but I find it Sexy (and Hairy).
Ok, but only if i get to squeeze before I pick.
Only if I can squeeze brak.
I’ll be in Deep Thought about it.
I Meglet to inform you that you have some gal,
for Fox(trot’s) sake.
Would you like the Hairy, Sexy ones best?
I’m Trolling on the floor laughing.
There are more trolls around here than you can slanagat at.
Yikes, Captain! AC that, how do you do all get so Lowly?
Kuro see, it’s a matter of perspective.
But I’m confused. Suicide with the Blonds or the Bronwyns?
Mostly with the Soccer Moms and the aging Uncles.
This is no time to be Slagging off you Ham.
