This entry was originally planned to be a cluelessly conservative diatribe about how Barry Manilow should pull himself over to the shoulder of the pretentiousness turnpike and just shut his Fraggle Rock mouth the hell up about Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Now, I used to be a Fanilow, but then he refused to appear on the View, since Elisabeth is, quote: "dangerous and offensive."
I had written a call to boycott Mr. Copacabana and put him on the same blacklist as Natalie Maines and Barbra Streisand...
And then I read the comments at Columbia University this morning, and realized that Ahmadinejad has finally hit ludicrous speed on way towards WWIII.
I don't care what you think about the Bush administration. I'm not going to make any political statement about this madman. I just want you to read the following excerpts and ask yourself how safe you feel with Ahmadinejad, a man with the comptenency of Mel Gibson on a bender, having access to enriched Uranium. This is a man who took "Borat" so literally that he's actually going to throw the Jew down the well so his country can be free.
The moderator asked point blank: "The question is: Do you or your government seek the destruction of the state of Israel as a Jewish state? And I think you could answer that question with a single word, either yes or no."
"You asked the question, and then you want the answer the way you want to hear it. Well, this isn't really a free flow of information," Ahmadinejad retorted.
"If the Holocaust is a reality, why don't we let more research be done on it?"
"In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country," he said, to laughter and boos from the audience.
The last thing this country needs is "Operation: Iranian Freedom," but how much longer can the global community allow Ahmadinejad to stay in power?
And also, who is more "dangerous and offensive," a flighty talk show host or an extremist world leader? Maybe Barry Manilow needs to figure out who the real enemy is in the world.

"In my country there is problem
And that problem is the Jew
They take everybody's money
They never give it back to you.
Throw the Jew down the well
So my country can be free
You must grab him by his horns
Then we'll have a big party."
-Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
