    Dont want to get off in your business Nuke, but just wanted to make you aware, in case you aren’t, that since you added this picture to your sidebar, all the sidebar content is encroaching into the center content, making it difficult to read.

    I am running internet explorer at 800×600 resolution.

    Found another excellent piece by Amil Imani.

    Why is it that the mullahs of Iran are battling each other instead of focusing on the fight with the Great Satan?

    http://www.israelnationalnews.com/article.php3?id=6617

    Go back to a few weekends ago, when the big story was on Anti-Mullah, about Ayatollah Boroujerdi and his arrest. I was puzzled by the fact that most of the regime change blogs were very quiet on the matter. I also remember one comment, of very few, at Free Iran, where one gentleman that was awakened by a phone call to join in the fracas to protect the embattled Ayatollah, and his comment was something to the effect of, “trading one mullah for another doesn’t interest me.” My Iranian expat friends viewed it as an exciting moment, one where those in Iran could use it as a rallying point for revolution…and yet, nothing much happened, except several hundred supporters were arrested with the Ayatollah. I contacted Stefania of Free Thoughts, and asked her what her thoughts were on the matter. Here’s part of what she said:

    I don’t know if you read my post where I wrote about Fakravar, Ganji and Sazgara. Well, the same goes for this so-called “dissident” Islamist cleric.

    I will post about this individual today, telling things as they really are. I am sorry that Michael Ledeen is always deceived by those who play taqiyya, but in reality the majority of the Iranians DO NOT TRUST CLERICS, NOR DO THEY BELIEVE IN THE claims that they are “in favor of separation of church and state”.

    My friends in Iran (many of which are students who were arrested several times) tell me that the Iranian people is sick with the Islamists turned “secularists”. The Iranian people is also sick of Islam.

    The regime used clerics like, for example, Montazeri, to divert the international community’s attention from the true cases of repression.

    The cases of clowns like Akbar Ganji, Shirin Ebadi and Moshen Sazgara all came out during times in which the Mullahs were pressured by the outside world over cases of torture and executions.

    I don’t know if you noticed, but I think it’s not a coincidence that the story of this “dissident” cleric is coming out just when the regime is ABOUT TO EXECUTE 4 IRANIAN WOMEN.

    You see, now the world’s focus is diverting from these poor women to this clownish cleric who is supported just by the militants of “Melli Mazhabi” ( a tolerated party formed by “secular Islamists”, a non-sense in itself! ).

    So the fear that the Mullahs were setting a trap, to identify and arrest those who support regime change, is apparently true, and that is why so few tried to protect him, and not the tens of thousands that purportedly were strongly in his camp.
    I found it interesting to learn that, often on Friday prayers in Iran, even the largest mosque in Tehran, is basically empty. Very telling about the Iranian people’s feelings toward islam.

    RT, since nuke isn’t present at the moment, you should know this is a firefox friendly site…or it was before the new address.
    I run firefox, and have my monitor set for 1024×768 at 32bits, and all is coolness.

  7. nuke, on October 17, 2006 at 7:36 pm said:

    Yup- n2l, we’re still running firefox

    Foxy!

    ROFL! Dang, that would be worthwhile for when that 4th person calling me in an hour wanting to refinance my home calls. But I’d probably start laughing and ruin it.

    Swampie, have you forgotten already what to say?

    Well, SwampMan did not get home on time; he called me to come and assist him at the school shop so dinner was a Subway sandwich and a peanut butter cookie.

    /Dang.

    Now he’s unwinding watching Team America, and I’m getting back to work.

    Looks Good…..yea, I tried Firefox for awhile No2, and loved the tabbed stuff, but missed the familiarity of IE, and most of all missed the ability to use IE spellcheck, which keeps me from sounding like even more of a moron than I normally do.

    Then I found that Maxthon add-on to IE that had tabs, the ability to save entire groups of websites, could be configured to look exactly like a stock IE, and it has really worked out pretty good for me. I hear the new IE incorporates a lot of the stuff thats in the Maxthon.

    I had some java problems with Firefox too…..the dancing girl at RR looked like a speed freak so was gyrating so fast.

    And my 19″ monitor died on me, so I had to pull out the old 17″, and that forces me to run 800×600 at home.

    At any rate….that did fix the problem Nuke.

    Okay, you asked for it.
    The second greatest song ever written.

  14. no2liberals, on October 17, 2006 at 8:32 pm said:

    RT, you must have the new IE 7.0 on xp. I’m on 2000pro, so those goodies aren’t available to me on IE.
    We don’t need no spell checker, and you can’t be a moron, you live Dallas…like me.
    And that ain’t no dancing girl, that’s a jiggly girl…and she is very distracting. Uhh, who’s her new friend, from the internet addict thread?

    SwampMan called me in just in time to see the puppet barf. He likes to see me turn greenish. Ewwww.

    Just for you, No2libs:

  16. SwampWoman, on October 17, 2006 at 8:41 pm said:

    RT live Dallas? No2libs live Dallas? Have many cattle Dallas? Big rocks Dallas too?

    For me?
    Henh…I can only take his parodies about about twice a year.
    So no one even wants to know what the number one song of all time is?
    Hmmph!

  18. no2liberals, on October 17, 2006 at 8:42 pm said:

    Swampie, like I said, we don’t need no stinking spell checker…if we did, you and Swampman would be living in a case.

  19. SwampWoman, on October 17, 2006 at 8:46 pm said:

    ROFL, damn, busted by No2libs for spelling. Oh, the shame. It hurts us!

    Let’s see, what would be the number 1 song of all time according to No2Libs?

    Hmmmmmmm….would it be a showtune?

    Nope!

    Don’t even try to get cute…either really put some effort in, or ask.

  23. SwampWoman, on October 17, 2006 at 8:58 pm said:

    Dang, I thought you were gonna get really rude because I had some hymns lined up for you.

  24. SwampWoman, on October 17, 2006 at 8:59 pm said:

    I have to clue. I would think something by Gershwin, but I would be wrong, no doubt.

  25. SwampWoman, on October 17, 2006 at 9:02 pm said:

    I have no clue. There’s so much of history to cover. Mozart? Beethoven? I’m a little partial to the Hallejah chorus by Handel but that’s just my western civilization showing.

  26. no2liberals, on October 17, 2006 at 9:02 pm said:

    What?
    You don’t have to.

  27. SwampWoman, on October 17, 2006 at 9:03 pm said:

    Dang, thought I caught and rewrote that in time.

    /Bad fingers.

    Guess it’s just you and me.
    So…you want to call Unc’?

  34. SwampWoman, on October 17, 2006 at 9:18 pm said:

    Very nice indeed! I’ll listen to that as I go into my evening’s work, then change to something peppier around 1 a.m.
