As it turns out, while color-coded fear charts decide which of Crayola’s specialty crayons to choose, Iran’s busy with its own arts and crafts project.
Two days after launching highly provocative missile test, Iran has been caught broadcasting what appear to be two different photos from the exact same vantage point, taken at the exact same […]

President Ahmadinejad didn’t receive the warmest reception from American academia in his recent trip to New York. Students at Columbia University applauded their own progressiveness in giving him a forum to speak. And then used it to showcase their rebuke to pure evil. Even President Lee Bollinger took a swipe — calling him a “petty […]
Ahmadinejad was right about Iran. In his country, there are no homosexuals. It is as certain as the 5 a.m. hark of Allah on your neighborhood megaphone. They don’t exist. The flamboyant guys that the Canadian Broadcast Channel happened to film in underground cafes and parks, the ones Khomeini’s cronies either chased out of the […]
I?ve seen a firework char a boy?s face, a group of friends light a fat kid on fire, and a skateboarder who fell so hard he added another joint to his forearm ? all on YouTube. But when I went looking for what the kids in Iran were up to, I found content that YouTube […]
Somewhere in Iran, burka-clad women are teaching young newly-weds how to unroll condoms ? and cucumbers may or may not be involved. It happens everyday. And not in some soundproof, windowless basement a vast desert away from Tehran, but in government-sponsored classrooms with seats meant for dozens of soon-to-be (and surely quite-ready-to-be) sexually active men […]

A friend of mine brought a New York Times Op/Ed article to my attention by a female Iranian journalist?Camelia Antekhabifard?who refuses to write in her home country again. A bad taste still lingers on her tongue and typewriter.
The taste is something like the mushrooms her uncle used to her as a child:
On many early mornings […]
Oliver Stone has a mind to film a documentary on Mahmood Ahmadinejad. But the Iranian government, unsure of what he’s got in mind, is understandably wary. After his first request was deferred, his second has been stagnating for more than a week.

Last week, over 200 Iranian youth were detained for attending a concert that featured Western influenced artists. Rap was bumpin’ and mosh pits were jumpin’. There was booze. 150 bottles of it. There were women, too. And they were dancing. With boys. Mixing with mixers.
All of this constituted as immoral behavior, in violation of Sharia […]

in today’s world, the Sentence of War begins without capitalized letters and ends without punctuation
A January gust of suspicion landed 5 questionable Iranian diplomats in US habeas-corpus-free holding cells in Kurdistan, Iraq. While they hush and sleep behind the obscurity of their detainment, political banter recreates them insurgents and impostors and victims of heavy-handed dictators, […]

The head Honcho, the big Nacho Supreme Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has a new message for his young martyrs.
He’s told them the nation is in crisis. The war between the hegemonic and the subversive is changing. And he’s not promising heaven or eternal peace on a swollen cloud cushioned by several soft and voluptuousness virgins.
The country’s […]
