i can't believe how popular these guys are, good for them, but I don't understand how it happened

i liked it better when my homepage wasn't political.

"i liked it better when my homepage wasn't political."

that is fair, and I'm happy to keep it that way. Kind of random really - current events, I don't know. I mean the guy is denying the holocaust and that there are gay Iranians. Seems silly more than political?

excellent news. this is the one I will go to, I had schedule conflicts w/the other 2. (like any of you care)

Thanks for the info!!

There are no "gay" Iranians alive that he is aware of because if anyone admits they're gay then they're executed. That's what he means when he says there's no homosexual "problem".

Also, there was recently an episode of New York Noise on that nyc tv channel, and it had the national on it (the lead singer) going on a tour of the UN.

just a little FYI.

oh, and also:

"i liked it better when my homepage wasn't political."

relax. please. how many of these types of posts has BV made? and dont give me a "slippery slope" response.

I guess Ahmadinejad doesn't read his own official newapaper:

On Sunday, November 13, 2005 the semi-official Tehran daily Kayhan reported that the Iranian government publicly hung two men, Mokhtar N. (24 years old) and Ali A. (25 years old), in the Shahid Bahonar Square of the northern town of Gorgan.

The government reportedly executed the two men for the crime of "lavat." Iran’s shari`a-based penal code defines lavat as penetrative and non-penetrative sexual acts between men. Iranian law punishes all penetrative sexual acts between adult men with the death penalty. Non-penetrative sexual acts between men are punished with lashes until the fourth offense, when they are punished with death. Sexual acts between women, which are defined differently, are punished with lashes until the fourth offense, when they are also punished with death.

i just bought tickets to the thursday night terminal 5 show. are they really all sold out? i don't get it.

I saw this clip last year on CurrentTV (but it's on YouTube now) about Ahmadinejad as a young American who may or may not be gay. I hadn't thought about it for a while, but it'd be great today for you guys. Methinks he dost protest too much!! Love your stuff, guys!

can't wait to see Ahmadinejad live. heard his stage presence is amazing. wtf does that have to do with the national????

Hey BV, is this "sweeps week" for blogs? All of a sudden I feel like I'm reading the National Enquirer (fake meg white sex videos, outrageously stupid Ahmadinejad comments, etc...)

I recommend listening to or reading the lengthy comments of Columbia Univeresity President Lee Bollinger at the event yesterday and also of Ahmadinejad and his Q&A.

(Skip to 4:00 for Bollinger or 8:23 for the beginning of his harsh rebuke of Ahmadinejad.

I got both URLs from the Columbia J-School's blog on all of the events: http://apresidentvisits.blogspot.com

These guys are unlistenable. Seriously, i've tried, but he drones and drones --

Matt Beringer and friends rock. Ahmadinajad is a crazy fool, but I think new york city and the media are idiots for playing into his hands with those headlines. Columbia gets points as a fine institution and is obviously a better promoter of democracy than our city, state, and NATIONAL governments combined.

what a scam. 12:01 and sold out.

not sold out

Tickets now un-soldout for this Thursday's (10/11) Terminal 5 Show....
