It was mostly the yellow and the expanse of forehead and the goatee in your pic that made me think of CBG moreso than the size of his girth.

I need that forehead, to store my ego. Also, the goatee is a fu manchu now.

You hear about that shit? Over here, it was just a blip. I would have missed it, except I have little news bots that filter out the funny shit for me.

Well, yes. It's not "what the funny foreigners are doing" over here, it's proper news.

*chokes on coffee*

That was funny chika.

I'm actually quite impressed to have a Merkin point it out to us. It's pretty domestic as news goes.

Doesn't that just make you want to eat stars and shit stripes?
Gee, I wonder what they would do if people turned out to protest like they have in Iran the past few days? Wouldn't THAT be a riot, if the Iranian government handled protesters better than our government?

Our government shoots into peaceful crowds all the time. They just use rubber bullets.

And honestly, I think if we had protests every day for a week, with crowds as big as the ones in Iran, then some people probably would die.

Especially if Al Qaeda members joined the protests...

I think I heard the mortal causalities from the Iranian protests were members of the anti-Iranian terrorist group Jundallah. They were supposedly trying to stir up a lot of shit.
