Those Iranians aren't gay, just happy

Editor's note: Sorry there was no post yesterday. My host, www.blogger.com, wasn't accessible.

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who some say is the Middle Eastern Bronson Pinchot (or possibly Steve Carrell), faced down a tough audience at Columbia University earlier this week, withstanding a blistering introduction and then fielding questions.

My favorite moment came when he was asked about Iran's treatment of gays. He stated emphatically, albeit hrough a translator, that there's no problem, because "In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country."

Seems reasonable. I mean, he is the president of the country. He oughta know.

I just hope that legions of middle eastern gays take this oppotunity to descend on Iran, bringing with them an army of little dogs, to take so-so Tehran neighborhoods and clean them up with track lighting, high ceilings and accent walls.
