Iran so far away

Just some quick thoughts on this little thingy going on in Iran.

• How much more effective do you think these protesters would be if they had guns? BAM! That's the fucking reason we don't overturn the 2nd amendment kiddo's. I'd love it if there weren't people dying every night in our nation because of guns. But you know what I'd hate more? Living in a country were I didn't have any fucking rights at all.
• I guess I don't really understand what these people are protesting? I mean, it seems pretty obvious that they are pissed that their guy didn't get in, and that the election was stolen from them...... But the president of Iran has zero power to do anything. The president reports directly to the Ayatollah. The Ayatollah makes all the rules, runs the military, runs the government, and everything else. So they're pissed because their guy who gives the Ayatollah advice didn't get in? Seems kinda stupid. You want to change how shitty your country is? How about not letting it be ruled as a secular state.
• Twitter. Still a retarded form of communication. But apparently more useful than I thought, at least if its not in the hands of spastic retards telling me what the consistency of their fecal matter is.
• I heard that there are about 65 million people in Iran. 38 million of them voted. They all voted with paper ballots. Paper. They announced the results the same day as the polls were open. How fast do you think it takes to count to 38 million? My guess is more than a day. So yeah, the results were obviously tainted. For fuck's sake here in the western world we use computers and voting machines and it still took a fucking month for votes to be counted in Florida a couple years ago.
• The dude who lost, Mousavi, was the fucking prime minister before. (from what I understand the same as the vice president when Iran was known as Persia) So how the fuck is this guy the candidate for change?
• With all this going on, it allows me to post my favorite Andy Samberg video. Andy Samberg is so great that if he squared off with rabid wolverine that was a member of the Crips, the wolverine would be visibly shaken and would scamper off like a scared putty cat.
