No surprise here.  Ahmadinejad and his supporters stuff the ballot boxes to where we have over 100% turn out.  Now we predictably have a situation where Ahmadinejad is up in the vote total after a recount.  I am surprised of the naivety of the Mullahs.  Did they not know that there are 1.3 Billion Chinese out there that can call them on the suspicious nature of the numbers they are turning up?  That’s 1.3 Billion math experts out there that don’t need a Persian Abacus to count.

As with all of my “weight loss blog” posts, if you don’t care about the details, don’t read after the jump.

With all of the chaos over in Iran, government stupidity always manages to shine through.  The government has “asked” members of the soccer team to resign for wearing green wristbands, showing support for the protesters.  Since they effectively fired a good portion of their soccer team without consideration for how it would affect the team’s performance and as a byproduct, national glory, we can conclude that Iran is run by losers.  That’s right.  They decide to put symbolism ahead of building a winning team.  It’s a Dilbert cartoon with turbans which means Elbonia is a good analogy here.  If they can’t build a winning soccer team, then how can they expect to build a winning economy or military?

They also said that they plan to clear the country of hooligans.  Which is pretty easy to do when you don’t have a serviceable soccer team anymore.  I had no idea there were that many British soccer fans in Iran, but if the Supreme Leader doesn’t like them trashing his stadium then he’s well within his right to make a losing soccer team so the Brits don’t destroy the place after they lose the match.

Poor planning is one many reasons Iran will fail and Asians will end up ruling that part of the world.  We understand the value of building a winning team at all levels.  We also understand that winning at all levels is important.  But Iran has yet to produce a Supreme Leader that rivals the skills of Mao Zedong or Ho Chi Minh.  Not that the current Supreme Leader has any math skills to speak of since he only realized this week that more than 100% voter turn out is not normal.

Rather than burden the world of RSS feeds with sordid details of my health and fitness exploits… I am forcing you to continue after the jump.

Too much serious stuff going on here, so I thought I’d post something that, frankly, I find hilarious.

Enjoy.

By the way, this clown (Benny Hinn), is the same Jesus-huckster who convinced Evander Holyfield to write a check for a quarter million bucks.  I guess it should be no surprise, given Holyfield’s masterful job at managing money, that Evander not only had his house foreclosed but is a deadbeat dad to boot.

P.T. Barnum was right…
