  5. Iranian Officials Blame US and Britain For Terrorist Attack

    “Iranian officials are blaming America for a terrorist attack in the Sistan-Baluchistan province. They’re also vowing to take revenge on those responsible for the bombing. This could get ugly…

    The Baluchistan truthers include Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani who said “If we review the past, there have been many secret and public reports on the US connections and aids to the terrorists in the province… and this shows Americans’ enmity towards Iran’s progress.” In a statement released through the Fars news agency, the Revolutionary Guard said the bombing was the work of “terrorists” backed by “the great Satan America and its ally Britain.” Iranian officials also promised to strike back at those responsible for the attack, which makes the allegations of US involvement pretty ominous.”

  6. Obama's New Pot-Friendly Policy

    “Barack Obama is telling the feds to stop, like, totally freaking out, man, and take it easy on medical marijuana…

    This new policy may be limited, but it certainly makes things much more mellow for pot clubs than they were under the Bush Administration when DEA agents regularly raided medical marijuana operations. The different Presidential positions on pot aren’t surprising considering the fact that weed was Obama’s youthful drug of choice while Bush always preferred booze and blow.”

  8. Mahmoud Takes Manhattan

    “Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came to Midtown this week to tell the United Nations General Assembly about Iran’s “peaceful nuclear program” and how much he hates Zionists. His presence caused clashes between protesters and alleged Iranian agents on 48th Street…

    Just as we were about to leave for the night, a chubby mustachioed man wearing a dark suit and a General Assembly entry badge emerged from the hotel to derisive jeers from the protestors. We approached the man and identified ourselves as writers with Gawker. When we asked if he was with the Iranian delegation, he grabbed at our notepad, attempting to take it and rip it into pieces. A nearby police officer separated us and sent the man away. He walked into the night pointing at us and shouting ‘Go back to Tel Aviv! You would do well there!’”
