#1 did anyone check the weather? Might be a good time to rain on a parade.

#2 So long as the "rain" is in a semi-molten state, I'm all for it. A Spectre gunship comes to mind.

If there is one single concept that promotes international diplomacy, it well may be the principal of International Soil. For Iran to glorify their abject violation of this important notion is symptomatic of its overall disregard for functional foreign relations of any sort.

American leadership should take an equal measure of umbrage at Tehran's sordid festivities as Israel has from the Iranian president's recent hostile remarks. My own feeling is that each and every participant in this parade is an enemy of our nation who is deserving of nothing more than swift and calamitous death.

#3 To the tune of Neil Diamond - Heartlight:
Turn on your Arclight
Let it explode wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the islamic world to see

Turn on your Arclight
In the middle of a jihadi's parade
Make them go boom
Gonna make them fly across the moon
You and Khamenei

#4 Question of the day: do Iranians hate Americans with the same fervor with which they hate the mad mullahs? Who do they hate more? Enquiring minds want to know. This kind of indoctrination has to take effect at some point.

#9 Didja notice that Fred's meters have all been giving strange readings lately? I just checked his Acme PrecisionÂ® Barometer and it has gone all wonky too.
