I Liked It Better When He Hit Cameras

Hello, kiddies! Sean Penn is "reporting" from Iraq (h/t: drudgereport). Let's just take a guided tour of crazy shall we?

It is a nation of nuclear power, where the lobbies of the religious right effectively blur the lines between church and state. But it is also a country of good and hospitable people. And when the local team wins a big match, there is dancing, kissing, drinking and drugs in the streets. Women are graduating the campuses in higher and higher numbers, occupying government in higher and higher numbers. Sound familiar? But wait. The women. Look at the women. All is not well. I'm thinking about the women. This is Iran.

Holy Mother of GOD!! This is one of those things were I hope that I'm too stupid to understand. First off, "It is a nation of nuclear power, where the lobbies of the religious right effectively blur the lines..." on what planet does those two clauses have anything to do with each other? Furthermore, I want to thank Sean Penn for bringing to my attention that the lobbyists of the "religious right" (not be confused with the Iranian atheist lobby) are blurring lines between church and state in a ... wait for it... in a flippin' THEOCRACY!!! Cause I thought it was the whole rule by the Ayatollah? Thank you, Mr. Penn, thank you for opening mine eyes! I love how kissing and hugging and a sports win are right in there drugs in the street. Drugs in the street? Well, that's fantastic! Mom, baseball, and apple pie--and drugs in the street; the Iranians are obviously on the verge of American style democracy! Now I can't figure out if the "Sound familiar?" refers to the Iranian women or the whole article, but assuming its the women, yeah, I kind of think that the situation of Iranian women and that of Western women is only similar in the mind of Mr. Penn. "But wait. The women. Look at the women. All is not well. I'm thinking about the women. This is Iran. " But wait, this is what San Francisco Chronicle thinks is writing? That's how he wraps up the first part of his reporting from Iran? I think... I think I'm going to have to go with [censored]. I think [censored] is the word for this [censored]. To the bottom right is a picture of Mr. Penn and crowd of people behind him which absolutely none of which are government minders. Top right is a X-ray of Garm after reading the tripe while in an unsafe proximity to a nail gun that promised to end the searing pain in his logic centers.
