A place to collect news about today's Iran protest
Yo El. I believe your correct in your thinking. Ernie just posted a autoworker union declaration of unity for the protesters. Things may not have really got started in a big way, yet. It will be a riot if those involved in producing the Uranium and working on the bomb suddenly refuse to do their work. That will really piss of the Supreme Grand Ayatollah and Mad Dog.
They are keeping on the pressure.
Thanks :) It’s hard to keep up today and since the whole live thread idea hasn’t held I’m running around threads!
I know what you mean. Maybe the rookie mods are on duty today. Comes a time that an iron fist works best to help make this board more useful. Multiple threads on a breaking story is not so good, imo.

Good. Seems it’s active and being updated
Colourful cartoons have emerged of the four candidates in Iran's stormy presidential elections on Friday. The cartoons by an anonymous artist are going "viral" in the Iranian blogosphere and via email, and poke fun at the hardline incumbent, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Mohsen Rezaie:

And the current glorious leader....my words
*********************************************
Ahmadinejad's colour is brown. And just in case anyone doesn't get it, the caricature shows the president about to enter a toilet.
He has been the butt of many jokes since he came to power four turbulent years ago. But they are getting nastier, with mudslinging and character assassination routine as polling day approaches. The levels of excitement and mobilisation have even been compared to the epoch-making years before the 1979 revolution.
Have a good day!
