More Progressive idol worship, courtesy of the Iranian Revolution.
The Iranian "Green Revolution," as it is being called, certainly has some very complex and often confusing facets to it. But I don't think anyone would have ever expected it to confuse the political ambient here in the States.Yesterday, Robert Kagan, a neo-conservative foreign policy expert, in his monthly op-ed column for the Washington Post, wrote about the difficulties opposition protests are...

Iran: A Tinderbox?

Another look into the world of the frivolous and nonessential.
I really like memeorandum as a news aggregator. They do a fantastic job at gathering information that is usually pertinent to daily occurrences, a smaller blogging based Drudge if you will.
