Let’s briefly review . . .

While the new-age Neros in the mainstream press and the Democratic Party fiddle with the sideshow called Mark Foley, a couple of very important things happened this weekend:

1) The Iranians have arrested[*1] the son of Ayatollah Khomeni’s one-time rival and superior, charging him with the usual crimes. We probably will never hear from him again, except for the confession of course.

Ayatollah Mohammad Kazemeini Boroujerdi was detained with several supporters, Iran’s student news agency ISNA quoted the deputy governor of Tehran, Abdollah Rowshan, as saying.
. . .
“We believe that our nation is tired of political religion and they want to return to traditional religion,” Mr Boroujerdi told Iran’s labour news agency ILNA on Saturday.

2) The North Koreans have reportedly tested a nuclear bomb[*2] .

“It’s a wicked world we live in.”

We now return you to your regularly scheduled political dirty tricks, half-truths, lies, and spin.
