#4 Let's try that again:

In other news, the Iranian-government-in-exile is headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia.

Where they run a very nice Persian restaurant that serves great lamb dishes. Yummm, lamb.

(I need to lay off snark in the new year.)

#5 "Pore Khameni's Daid" , sung to
Song: Pore Jud Is Daid From "Oklahoma", By Rogers & Hammerstein

Ahmadnejad:
Pore Khameni's daid,
Pore Ali Khameni's daid,
All gather 'round his cawfin now and cry
Bank accounts were full of gold
And he got to be quite old
Oh why it took the feller so long to die?

Pore Khameni's daid,
Pore Ali Khameni's daid,
He's lookin' oh so peaceful and serene

Kofi Anan: And serene!

Ahmadnejad:
He's all laid out to rest
With his hands acrost his chest
His black tuban has never been so clean!

(Spoken)
Then the imam'd get up and he'd say:

(Chanting)
Folks, we are gathered here to moan and groan over our brother Ali Khameni, who died when he sar a wummun witout a burker

(Spoken)
Then there'd be weepin' and wailin'... from some of those sheeps. Then he'd say:

(Chanting)
Khameni was the most misunderstood man in this here Persia. People used to think he was only interesed in stonins and whippins
that he hated kite flyin' and music

(Sung)
But the folks that really knowed him.

(Chant)
Knowed that beneath that thar scraggly beard

(Sung)
There beat a heart as big as all outdoors
Kofi Anan:
As big as all outdoors.
Ahmadnejad:
Ali Khameni loved his feller man (cept them Jooz)
Kofi Anan:
He loved hes feller man (cept them Jooz)

Ahmadnejad (Spoken):
He loved the birds of the air and the beasts of the field. He loved the goats and sheep in the barns, and he treated
the dogs like equals, which was right. And he loved little children. He loved everybody and everything in the whole world! (cept the Jooz)
Only he never let on, so nobody ever knowed it.

(Sung)
Pore Khameni's Daid
Pore Ali Khameni's Daid
His friends'll weep and wail for miles around

Kofi Anan: Miles Around!

Ahmadnejad:
The daisies in the dell
will give out a different smell
Because Pore Khameni'ss underneath the ground.

Kofi Anan:
Pore Khameni's Daid
A Candle lights his haid
He's layin' in a cawfin made of wood

Ahmadnejad: Wood...

Kofi Anan:
And folks are feelin' sad
Cause they useter treat him bad
But now they know their friend is gone for good

Ahmadnejad: Good..

Both: Pore Khameni's Daid a candle lights his haid!

Ahmadnejad:
He's lookin' oh so purty and so nice
He looks like he's asleep,
It's a shame that he won't keep
But it's summer and we're running out of ice.

Both: Pore Khameni, Ali Khameni
