I guess Nutjob wishes “Paul was dead”

Maybe Ollie Stone can do a movie on Paul. Sir McCartney can do the soundtrack . . .

In an octopus’s garden?

However, the Iranian president accused the octopus of spreading "western propaganda and superstition."

Someone needs to advise Ahmadinejad never to argue with an octopus-a casual observer might not be able to tell which one is the cephalopod.
