Answers to the Name of "Lucky"

Sit! Stay! Roll over! Speak! "Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time and they're not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog," said the president.

Well, if that's the case he's Lucky he's not the president of Iran:
Iran's Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance issued a ruling which upheld that all dogs are unclean and advertisements about keeping, buying, and selling dogs are forbidden. The new fatwa also outlaws ads promoting dog food and shops that sell dog accessories. Keeping dogs as pets, according to the Tehran Times, has become remarkably common among Iranians, particularly those living in metropolitan areas. Police have been assigned the task of confiscating dogs from people who walk them in public. The confiscated dogs are destroyed and burned in incinerators. -- Canine Culls: Dog's Doomsday in Iran

Your Say

A society that forbids dogs, is a society worth fighting against to the death. Life without a dog by your side, is am empty void.

Woops. Life without a dog by your side, is an empty void. I pray that the same fate happens to the people (excrements) who destroyed these faithful creatures.

Religious zealots burn dogs, liberal media is silent. Religious zealots burn Korans, liberal media is ballistic.

So, when Iranians finally do overthrow their tormentors, they should put them in large pens, slather them with Alpo, and then let big, mean, very hungry dogs on them.

The dogs won't be hard to find: they're maintained by the Iranian internal security forces.

Nothing shows Mohammad, may he live in Hell forever, for the vicious, rabid scum that he was more than his followers treatment of dogs.

It is more than that, Cilla. It is a cult that hates women, music, art, theater everything that gives meaning and purpose to life. In Iran, it is even worse than just your average Jew-hating, Infidel-hating society. This is an Iranian hating society. They hate Persian history and culture. They would erase everything about their own culture in the name of the Arab conquerors and their Arab supremecist deity and prophet.
Go ahead and ask an Iranian expat if he speaks Farsi (an Arabic word for Persian) or Persian. If he's here before the shah fell, it will be Persian. Maybe even after. But we, as Americans didn't begin to refer to the Iranian language as Farsi until the Ayatollahs came to power. Islam is a suicide pact for any peoples coming under its sway.

Does the fatwa include hot dogs? Even the all-beef variety?

Do Iranians have to go to the dentist to get their canines extracted?

Will they arrest you for reciting doggerel?

Do they have to burn their furniture if it is made of dogwood?

How do they feel about cats?

Mohammad liked cats, apparently. There's an anecdote that he cut off the sleeve of his robe to avoid disturbing a sleeping cat. (Which is utter nonsense. A cat will wake up if you so much as twitch.)

Nevertheless, his hatred of dogs damns him.

O, Ayatollah! The dirtiest mongrel is of more worth than you!

You can't trust anyone who doesn't like dogs, kids or the occasional drink. It's true of individuals and damn sure true of cultures. Our mohammadan friends fail on at least two counts and the jury's out on the third.

I wish there were actual juries dealing with the way many Muslim societies treat kids. While the distressing custom of buggering the little ones predates Islam, it is the sort of religion and culture that encourages the backward, the depraved, and the barbaric.

As to the President's bizarre "dog" remark:

We'll stop "talking about you like a dog" when you stop treating the country like a fire hydrant.

Don Rodrigo, *****. Spot on comment.
