[Prophet 451]

First off, my "progressive" credentials (and when did I get to be a "progressive" anyway? I'm a liberal damnit!) aren't for you to decide.

Secondly, how many posts on this site are intended to be read by Chimpy? At a rough estimate, I'd guess none. We post here for all kinds of reasons. To educate, inform, let off steam, draw people's attention to when something sneaky is being pulled (which is what I'm trying to do here), all kinds of reasons. Because "Bush might read it" isn't even on the list.

Finally, when did I ever argue that Iran wasn't "an oppressive theocracy with a shady little spokesman and a disgusting record on human rights"? Absolutely it is. That's not the point of my OP and it isn't the point of the current demonising of the man with the impossible to spell name.
