I think everyone here feels the same way about Iranian judo champ Arash Miresmaeili backing out of his match with an Israeli opponent: totally bogus. Not only did he back out, but he escaped the punishment generally meted out to athletes who choose the Olympics to make political statements because he was, ahem, too overweight to compete.

It seems that Iran backs out of EVERY international athletic match that requires that they compete against the Israelis. The Iranians portray this as some sort of grand patriotic gesture against the Zionist Entity, but I think we all know the truth: they fear The Hebrew Hammer. Seriously, the Iranians know that they're not 100% guaranteed to win, and couldn't stomach a possible defeat at the hands of their enemies, so they bail. For a bunch of big, burly dudes, that's a pretty wuss move.

Dude, that guy looks like he might have a big future in pro wrestling. But he needs a colorful name. Maybe Sheik of Shit or Tower of Cower.

They should call him The Iron Sheik!

I don't get why he didn't want to fight. Is he so sure he was going to lose? Is he scared rubbing up against a Jew will give him the Heebie-Jeebies? Is he worried that pieces of his opponent's circumcision will fall off while they are wrestling each other and touch him?

MG- did you mean the Hebe-y Jeebies?

Actually, I did mean that, but didn't feel the need to be so damn obvious about it. That is why nobody reads your blog, you hoser.

I'm such a loser I'd read it. What's the URL?

I don't have a blog. MG is just jealous. Of what? I dunno. That kid is strange that way.

I've never been a big Linkin Park fan or anything, but this new song i hear on the radio all the time is friggin lame.

That song, if it's the one I'm thinking of, is totally lame. Well lame might not do the all around sucktation of this song justice but it'll have to do.
