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.

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.

Off course food and water will eventually have some say in the matter. Time for me to hop in shower, shave and head off to work. I will not see what has expired today till around 12AM assuming I have the energy to check of FR, late tonight.

Colour-coded cartoons poke fun at Iran's election candidates!

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:

  • The other conservative candidate, and a former Revolutionary Guards commander, Rezai is officially colourless, his campaign largely digital. But these images by an anonymous Iranian artist suggest other possibilities. Rezai is portrayed in red to mark his military past – subtext: blood on his hands.

    *******************************************

  • Mehdi Karoubi:
  • The reformist cleric's black represents the oil money he has promised to spend on ordinary people if he is elected – subtext: unlikely.

  • Mirhoseyn Mousavi
  • The moderate most likely to beat Ahmadinejad, Mousavi has branded himself successfully as the green candidate – though the colour was chosen not for a commitment to environmental issues but for its Islamic resonance and as a symbol of progress.

    **********************************************************

    And the current glorious leader....my words

    *********************************************

  • Ahmadi Nejad:
  • 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.

It looks decent.

Karubi looks like Khamenei in that picture, and Rezai looks like Ahmadinejad after growing a few feet.
