Iranian Elections

I assume that was a snipe at US. But why?

I would say it is because Louis is making a point about the use of language and rhetoric in modern political discourse. That was a comment on the origins of this... plus Louis is always quite snarky in his own hilarious way.

We all love Louis. His comments are always witty and humorous . Amazing how intelligent a person has to be to almost always make things so amusing. As my English teacher said, good humour is the sign of high intelligence, and usually the comedians are quite sharp themselves. (unless they have ghost writers )

Sorry, do not get it. Nor feel like thinking about it to see the connection. I have had enough thinking by now, after a day of classes. School ( or more correctly, learning in classes) is year-round for me now.

Ghost writers? Nah. We don't employ ghost writers.

'We' are a team of some 27 odd reknowned experts posting under the single account of 'Louis' for ease of reference. Our expertises include, but are not limited to, art, history, architecture, international relations, Americanology, biology, European studies, gender studies, human geography, legal history, bluffology and linguistics.

Depending on the topic at hand, the appropriate expert responds. These responses are then edited for readability by our team of novelists and humourists. Or by crazy uncle Pierre Lefou - whom we try to keep away from using this account as much as possible.

Very well said. You're frighteningly articulate...Are you sure you're French?

My nickname is François Desouche.

And well..what can I say? I just speak my mind, which is trained in the world's best schools, and refined by a thousand years of cultural superiority.

Besides, the Taco tuaght me all I kown.

[Fragony]

See? He's French alright.

[Prodigal]

yeah, there can be no doubt, thousand years of cultural superiority is a clincher

Well who can argue with that? We all know how French culture is beginning to dominate the US, and how frightened nationalist politicians are demanding desperate measures like secretaries of culture to ensure that US culture is not wiped from its own country.

This may or may not be big, but it certainly shows that the Greens ain't going away, no matter how many students they torture and put on TV to "confess."

The most important group of religious leaders in Iran has called the disputed presidential election and the new government illegitimate, an act of defiance against the country’s supreme leader and the most public sign of a major split in the country’s clerical establishment. [...]

“This crack in the clerical establishment and the fact they are siding with the people and Moussavi in my view is the most historic crack in the 30 years of the Islamic republic,” said Abbas Milani, director of the Iranian Studies Program at Stanford University. “Remember they are going against an election verified and sanctified by Khamenei.”

Since we're OOT, I don't see anything wrong with trying to keep american mainstream 'culture' (if by culture, you mean movies made for braindead idiots) out of France. Fast and Furious is crap. Movies with Nicolas Cage are crap. SWAT is crap. Thing is, given the amount of money found in Hollywood, US producers can keep on producing crap and flood the world with it. The ministry support french productions (sometimes good, often crap - Luc Besson produces mostly crap, Taken was crap), and that's about it.
Then again, the ministry of culture has many aims, and 99% of those could hardly be labelled as nationalist. Cultural globalization is happening, it has good and bad effects. Trying to prevent the worst ones is by my standards a good idea.

Back to Iran.
