Iranian Proverb

When ants unite, they can skin a lion.

Big demo planned for Tehran today in defiance of the supreme leader (isn't that Diana Ross?*) edict. I'm hoping this is revolution and not Tianenmen Square. Staying tuned to Twitter today, first place for news...

And Iranians are Twittering: Western Media Stop sharing false information given by Iranian state television! Demonstration NOT canceled!


*Not mine, alas. Jeremy Hardy, yesterday's News Quiz. :o)

Iran, of course and virtually every picture, every vid, every quote they're using is coming off Twitter.

Fan bloody tastic!

On Twitter, I rec. SadeqEn one of the few still with internet connection and giving disturbing updates as events unfold. Also iran09.

iran09 has a lot of (poor quality, looks like it's mostly coming off phones) vids on YouTube.
