"Widespread protests in Iran prove it is a dictatorship whereas widespread protests in the US prove it is a democracy. The protests in the US are illegitimate because they were orchestrated by Iran whereas the protests in Iran show the will of the Iranian people... because they were orchestrated by Mossad."

House of mirrors!

Having left Twitter because it was going downhill rapidly and as they're imminently implementing policy to abuse data rights, I'm relying on you for the news and you don't disappoint!

Are you ever going to go back to doing satire, Laura?

Honestly this is exactly what I was thinking. This reads like mainstream U.S. media to me.

Reality has overtaken satire. "1984" has become an instruction manual not a novel.

I remember reading an article -- perhaps from Amnesty International, although it might have been some similar organization -- asserting that the Shah's police tortured physically and psychologically, often raping wives and daughters of political prisoners in front of the jail cells, and on some occasions inserting poisonous snakes into the vaginas of the female victims. What a great champion of "democracy" and "human rights" the Shah was. I suspect his son is cut from the same cloth...

It must be terribly difficult for satirists these days, when writing like this article almost reads like a Washington Post editorial. 😟

The only thing Iran and Venezuela have in common is their un-democratic human rights abuses that we must correct for them. It's only a bizarre coincidence that both Iran and Venezuela have huge oil reserves.

Laura rules. Or should.
