Speed II: Ruse Control

A South-Korean U.N. nuclear inspector was killed in a car accident in the central Markazi province of Iran on Tuesday.  That's according to the Iranian state-run media.  Apparently the car "turned over," killing the South Korean and Slovenian nuclear inspectors.

Isn't it just horrible when cars randomly turn over killing the representatives of the allies of your greatest enemy?  And it's just tragic when they represent a threat to your national secrecy ...er... that is.. security.

Come on, Iran!  If you're gonna lie to our faces, at least come up with something halfway plausible!  If the US is your mortal enemy, at least show some respect by coming up with a halfway decent cover story for your assassination of UN weapons inspectors!  Or did you want us to know?  Is that your plan?  You crafty devils, you!

If you think that you can inflame us and we won't do anything... well...you're probably right.  Dammit.  Cuz it's election season and no way Obama runs on a "Yes We Can Bomb Iran" slogan.

Libya Doesn't Know About Mormons, India, or China

In a statement given yesterday (Feb 13), Libya issued a statement to the United Nation Rights Council that homosexuality will "affect religion and the continuation and reproduction of the human race."  The whole religion thing is a debate that I don't want to get into here, but let's look at the second half of that quote.  Libya is seriously concerned about the continuation and reproduction of the human race?  Libya has clearly never heard of the Mormons or certain groups of evangelical Christians (the Dugger family?), not to mention the entire countries of India and China.  Given the overwhelming ratio of boys to girls in China, homosexuality may be the only way to avoid some serious social unrest once those boys become men.
Come on, Libya.  The concern of a dwindling population is just not an issue.
