 So Iran is in turmoil as Ahmadinejad attempts to steal and election, with the "blessing" of that douchebag the ayatollah. I'm hoping Mousavi (Pro-democratization, pro free media, anti religious police) wins. Students and others demonstrating in the cities are being beaten by police and many denied access to hospitals by the government's stooges. Iran is ready for change and to join the rest of the word, and dicks like Ahmadinejad and religious nuts in the country are holding them back (sound familiar?). I'm mad that the media seems to be legitimizing Ahmadinejad as the winner of the election, of which he likely is not. Mousavi is insanely popular yet lost his own district? Also, the government has shut down text messaging, phone lines, put Mousavi under house arrest and is basically doing all the censoring and information control that they can.

Anyway here is a link to Andrew Sullivan's blog, covering the protests and all that is going on: http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/ I know it's summer and beautiful but take a minute to learn a bit more about what is going on in the world right now.
