Iranian merchants can teach us much

When the Iranian government decided to jack taxes by 70%, merchants went on strike and closed their shops and stalls in protest.
I wonder how many American business people will shut their doors in protest when Obama lets the tax cuts expire and even increases them (as well as imposing the 1099 requirement for anything over $600).

Billions wasted on earthquake research!

To think that we have wasted billions of dollars and countless hours of research time trying to determine the cause of earthquakes and an Iranian Cleric has had the answer for who knows how long.

IT IS WOMEN!
That's right! Women wearing revealing clothing and behaving promiscuously are the cause!

Hey, it sure explains California's quake issues...I'm just saying.
Now, if they can just figure out what clothing lines and combinations lead to the worst quakes we can control the timing and severity.
