Three days ago, Irans dictator, Supreme Leader Ayatollah ali Khamenei, was rushed to the vast medical facility traditionally known as Vanak hospital (it now has an Arabic name that means the 12th Imam Hospital), a 1,200-room facility that saves half of its beds for the leadership.
Khamenei is known to be suffering from cancer, and taking considerable quantities of an opium-based pain killer. He has lost more than 17 pounds in the past ten months, and was told last spring that he was unlikely to see another New Year (In the Iranian calendar, the New Year begins at the end of March).
Khamenei first complained of chills, and then broke out in a cold sweat. He lay down to rest, and began to lose feeling in his feet, at which point his aides got him to the hospital.
Amidst maximum security, and under orders that the event be kept secret at all costs, the theocrat was placed in one of the luxurious suites reserved for the countrys most important figures. Khameneis blood pressure and pulse were alarmingly low, and his physicians at
No matter whose derriere is filling the chair, the chair is always filled by a derriere, for such is the Way of chairs [it is the Way of derrieres, too, but with a proviso that not every derriere gets to fill a chair, and many derrieres are left standing and waiting]. Thus, even if true, the significance is negligible.
He lay down to rest, and began to lose feeling in his feet, at which point his aides got him to the hospital.You probably shouldn't wash down your viagra with a white russian.
Who's number three?
Chavez? One can only hope
I wonder if he's radioactive?
Mugabe? I gotta go set up an office pool...
All things considered, I hope this vile thug goes first
Jimmy Carter could be number three,that would actually make a lot of people quite happy.
Who's number three?
Chavez? One can only hope

I understand Kim Jong-Il's health is in question!
Lord please spare him from death tonight...so he can die an excruciatingly long and painful death in the coming days.
Nay, he's way too useful as an example of a left wing moon bat gone over the edge.
Plus we would have to put up with the MSM falling all over themselves with endless inane tributes on his greatness (puke)
Me for one! And it would be poetic justice at that. I despised Clinton -- still do -- but Carter? The more I learn about him, the more I realize how utterly treasonous, treacherous and despicable he is. How he managed to hornswoggle so many people into believing he was genuine for so long... I will never understand.
"Castro, Khamenei. These things happen in threes
Who's number three?
Chavez? One can only hope"
Hmmm...
Is Kim Jong Ill?
Good. No better time for it.
Khamenei's death would take Ahmadinejad down a notch.
I hope he burns in hell along with other dictators
After the Media had led the way in brainwashing the entire country into believing that Nixon and Watergate was the most serious stain on our political life since the dreaded Joe McCarthy, it then led the way in promoting the smiling and freckled Carter as a breath of fresh air wafting through our grateful lives. What a snow job!
Best description of Carter I ever read was P.J. O'Rourke's: "a grin like a raccoon eating fish guts out of a wire brush." Pretty much sums up Carter's whole worthless miserable existence.
At his best, P.J. had no peers. But he has mellowed lately, and has been surpassed by the indispensable Mark Steyn. I am currently reading AMERICA ALONE, and I would advise everyone to---it might equip up for the kinds of action that might become necessary sooner than we think.
