Nate Silver chimes in on the Iranian elections, sort of.

Statistical Report Purporting to Show Rigged Iranian Election Is FlawedLike most Americans, there are few things I would like to see more than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's hateful President, to be voted out of office. Elections in thuggish, authoritarian states like Iran need be treated with the utmost skepticism and scrutiny. I can't say I have any

Anyone else feel like a perfect storm is brewing? Iran with it's election 'results', NK finding many different types of excuses to justify nukes, Bin Laden making an appearance again, the world being distracted by the economic crisis...

It feels like the chips are all coming down at the same time.

In the long term... nah... no one's invaded Poland yet. It's not over until the fat Polish lady sings.

ah sarry bb... but fuck no I don't intend on carrying any stupid people/animals with me this time. I'll invest the food expenditures on illegal Chinese DVDs.

After hitting the year 2000 and NOTHING HAPPENED, I'm so not even entertained in a mild way by the 2012 stuff. -_-

[hu_ku]

Me either, though the psychos who have made it their life mission to repopulate the earth are sort of entertaining. They remind me of the people in Independence Day who went to greet the aliens with their posters and got a big ol zap to the ass instead.
