Ahmadinejad Can't Take a Joke (or a Hint)
A sense of humor apparently ranks even lower than personal hygiene on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's list of priorities. He might have responded to an anonymous text message suggesting that he doesn't wash often enough by taking a long hot shower. Instead, as WorldNetDaily reports,
He fired the president of the phone company, had four people arrested, took other legal action and accused those involved of conspiring with the Israeli foreign intelligence service Mossad, according to the Iranian opposition website Rooz Online.
This is par for the course in Iran, where bloggers routinely face harassment or imprisonment, text message traffic is monitored by the government, and several people have reportedly received court summonses for making jokes about Ahmadinejad's quest for nuclear weapons with which to blow up Jews and other infidels.
Speaking of jokes, there's a bright side to the Iranian regime — Bill Clinton considers it more democratic than America.

Followed the link that says 'Clinton considers Iran more Democratic than America'. Clinton has lost it, if he ever had it. Mind you, back in the day Clinton thought you could do business with the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah and their Iranian and other funding. How can anyone think you can do business with these People and come out normal and unscathed. Clinton is clearly not normal and is damaged!
