Here's the Problem

I got home from some time away from the world, I sit down to write here, on this blog, I check the news, and I get informed.
Oh, Iran. Yeah.
And then I lose my sense of humor for writing about, say, John Ensign's sexy-fun-time. The Iran situation is, frankly, way beyond me. We take everything about our political system for granted in this country, and seeing a country bust apart like this is, really, one of those "watching history happen" moments.
So, here's my big Iran statement: I hope everything works out for the Iranians.

Yeah, wow, that was earth shattering. Really though, it's sort of heartbreaking, if you think about it. People have lost their lives, people are putting their lives in danger, and it feels like saying "in the name of the democratic process" is... not right. I don't know much about Iran, I only started learning about it last week, in the run-up to the election. What I do know, however, is that these people are committed, and... it's a big deal. It's moving, and... yeah.

Kay, fuck it, I'm out.

Stayed tuned, however, for a post about how John Ensign's penis is nobody's business!
