			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes you have to wonder why people hate the police. So the cops decided to <a href="http://mashable.com/2009/11/22/man-arrested-for-not-tweeting">arrest the VP of Island Def Jam Records</a> because he wouldn’t send out a tweet.</p>
<blockquote><p>An <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5h2jEPl4BV3d8i1u2LsvBLnY6dTvg">Associated Press</a> feed reads:</p>
<p>Police arrested a vice president from Bieber’s record label, Island Def Jam Records, saying he wasn’t cooperating with attempts to disperse the crowd. James Roppo, 44, of Hoboken, N.J., was charged with a series of misdemeanours, including endangering the welfare of children and obstructing governmental administration.</p>
<p>“We asked for his help in getting the crowd to go away by sending out a Twitter message,” said Nassau County Police Det. Lt. Kevin Smith. “By not cooperating with us, we feel he put lives in danger and the public at risk.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Now what group of teenagers is going to follow some VP at Def Jam on Twitter?  Note that the police didn’t ask Justin Bieber, the celebrity at the mall to send the tweet.  This shows that the police are getting out of control in Nassau County.  They could have just tasered Roppo like most cops do, but instead they decide to arrest him.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With all of the chaos over in Iran, government stupidity always manages to shine through.  The government has &#8220;asked&#8221; members of the soccer team to <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,528629,00.html">resign</a> 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&#8217;s performance and as a byproduct, national glory, we can conclude that Iran is run by losers.  That&#8217;s right.  They decide to put symbolism ahead of building a winning team.  It&#8217;s a Dilbert cartoon with turbans which means Elbonia is a good analogy here.  If they can&#8217;t build a winning soccer team, then how can they expect to build a winning economy or military?</p>
<p>They also said that they plan to clear the country of <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/06/22/iran.election/index.html?eref=edition">hooligans</a>.  Which is pretty easy to do when you don&#8217;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&#8217;t like them trashing his stadium then he&#8217;s well within his right to make a losing soccer team so the Brits don&#8217;t destroy the place after they lose the match.</p>
<p>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.</p>
