where do you get your info? wow. like we had a pay czar....lewl. k i will post them in a few hours. kind of busy right now.

The notion of a czar has existed for many years, it's nothing new. Why are you so stressed about the appointment of people in specific areas of Government? The Republicans pursued an agenda of rampant deregulation and laissez faire economics and look where it got ye, maybe some micro management is what's needed? You get awfully stressed about the strangest things... Bush reading your emails, tapping your phone and waterboarding your neighbour - fine; Obama appointing someone to administer a specific area of the Government or economy - evil fascism!

That's completely false.. what kind of reporting is that??

Ahmadinejad is ready to talk to the US, just not willing to stop his peaceful nuclear process just to do that.

And i'm pretty sure that not one of the other candidates said in public that they want to abandon the nuclear tech just to start talking to the US.

Well, you pay way to much for seats that suck just to watch grown men get paid millions of dollars only to lose 7-0. Then if you fancy a beer it only costs $8.50 for shitty Bud Light, accompanied of course by an even shittier hot dog for a small fee of $5.50. If you decide to get a souvenier you now have to go to the ATM because you forked over $40 to park, but it's ok because the service fee at this ATM is only $5.00. Now that you have purchased your $28.00 "Buck Foston" T-shirt you can settle into the seat that apparently was designed for Somolian distance runners and heckle Alex Rodriguez because he sucks and we should all hate him.

It's the American Pastime.

We all can only hope that Dinnarjacket is on his way out. If it happens it will be a great day for all.

If Bush had appointed someone to watch over CEO pay I'd have jumped for joy. A cyber-czar I wouldn't have been so thrilled about, but that would be more because I disliked Bush's vision for the world, time will tell how Obama handles such an issue I guess.

Ahh... Nice 'inb4' as wright was on the way...

I'd actually argue that the US voted in an extremist. Maybe not a religious fanatic, but a extremist in the sense of social and political issues yes...

@ OP this is garbage. Anyone with half a brain, know where the real power lies in Iran and it isn't with AmIinajihad...

While the Ayatollah technically has absolute power, President Khatami proved that reforms could still be made by presidents.

Mousavi will do the same if he is elected.

True. Pursuing nuclear research is a point of pride for conservatives and reformists alike in Iran.

Mousavi has even stated that he wants to continue research.

As the most tumultuous campaign in the Islamic republic's 30-year history drew to a close, Mir Hossein Mousavi, the President's strongest challenger, appealed to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Iranian Supreme Leader, to ensure the election was fair.

He (dinnerjacket) also has the backing of Ayatollah Khamenei, of the Republican Guard and its Basiji militia, and of a nationwide government machine that includes the state broadcaster.

Dont know if change will happen but , who knows, weirder things have happened.

Can't see a-jod losing this one, would be nice if he gets the boot though, but like I said before, the guy has consolidated alot of power and has it easy for him these days

"Anti-riot police guarded the offices overseeing Iran's disputed elections Saturday with the count pointing to a landslide victory by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, while his opponent denounced the results as "treason" and threatened a challenge."

Heard what the opposition is saying? Apparently some polling booths closed early. Heard somebody mention a power-outage too.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Mekstizzle: WALKER; +3,611|6920|London, England

Yeah..

Mr Mousavi has already said there was a shortage of ballot papers and alleged that millions of people had been denied the right to vote.

His election monitors were not allowed enough access to polling stations, he added, saying he would deal seriously with any irregularities.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle … 098305.stm

Obviously another dodgy "election" - a-jod has all the powerful unelectable instututions behind him so it would be pretty impossible for him not to win.

Fuck it. These guys fail on too many levels. The country needs to be bombed.
