oh, the ironing


The refusal of the US to grant entry visas to an Iranian women delegation that was to attend a UN-hosted conference in New York drew sharp criticism from from one of its members, Ms Touba Kermani, Friday evening.

Speaking to IRNA upon her arrival at Mehrabad International Airport here, Kermani said the nine members of the delegation were not able to attend the 51st session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women as they were denied entry visas by the US.

The delegation consisted of three women journalists, three women researchers/scholars and three female Foreign Ministry staff.

The 51st session of the commission opened at UN headquarters in New York on February 26 and ends on March 9.

The Iranian lady delegate was to address the session on the rights and security of Iranian women in the country.

Kermani, after she was refused a US visa, issued a protest statement strongly criticizing the way the delegation was being treated by US officials and the rationale for keeping the UN’s headquarters in New York.

Her statement has been read before participants at the ongoing session by a member of Iran’s permanent mission to the UN.

Challenging the rationale behind the choice of the US as the host country of the United Nations, Kermani said the US cannot arbitrarily prevent representatives of member nations from attending meetings of the world body.

She said her opinion was echoed by other participants of the session, who called the move of the US officials of preventing the Iranian delegation from attending the session as “an offense.” “If the UN is to be under the unquestioned influence of a country (the US), it would be better not to call it the United Nations any more,” Kermani complained.

She expressed regret that the US was discriminating against certain members of the UN while proclaiming itself to be a champion of democracy.

“Washington publicly claims to be a defender of women’s rights but prevents a legitimate Iranian women delegation from taking part in a UN conference that is to promote women’s status,” Kermani said.

She expressed hope American intellectuals and academics will not countenance the mistakes of their officials and allow a repeat of the humiliating treatment they received from them.

Claire: Take your meds. I’m not saying that you’re wrong. In fact; I think you’re about 100% right, as usual. It’s just that I care about you. Take you your meds.

And if you have any meds left over, would you mind sending me some?

When it comes to ratings success, madcow and overthehillking are sucking hind tit. And Hannity finally beat O’Reilly?!?!?!?!? Wow. And I have gotten to the point where I watch Hannity more than O’Reilly. It is nothing against Bill O’Reilly but I just like Sean Hannity more. And he is a fan of the Senior Service of which I served in for twenty years.

I once made a blowgun in the back of 7th grade science class out of a piece of long, thin glass tubing and a straight-pin --- because there was a substitute teacher that day who wasn’t noticing --- and with my very first silent-but-deadly test shot I nailed a huge wasp who had been buzzing against the window shade, right to that window shade. I swear to God (and that’s not in vain in this case).

With my second shot, I nailed Donald Ludwig, waaay at the front of the class, right in the back, and he immediately jumped-up, clutching at his back, screaming, “OWOW OW OW OW!” or something like that. This was in a previously silent room, as we were all supposed to be reading something.  Or something.

So the substitute teacher, thinking that Donald Ludwig was some kind of insane spastic clown, started yelling at him, and kicked him out of class and sent him down to the Principal’s office. Then the bell rang, and I got away scot-free.

I know I’ll never top that one. Why even try?

Rosebud…

P.S. I sure hope Donald Ludwig isn’t reading this.
