As much as I like to make fun of clueless despots, this blog isn’t really focused on that. But sometimes said clueless despots make it so hard not to poke fun.

In my last post, I pointed out the Photoshop phakery of Iran’s elite Republican Guard. Now it seems that not only did they exaggerate the number of missiles fired, they seem also to have fibbed a bit about which missiles were actually launched. Mahmoud I’m-a-dinner-jacket, you’re starting to look a little more silly than you normally do.

This has become like the scrawny guy mouthing off in a pub who says he knows kung-fu. Sooner or later a bigger bad-ass will take him outside. I’m-a-dinner-jacket, here’s a  friendly tip: There are bigger bad-asses. The rest of the bar are rolling their eyes, staring into their pint glasses, just not wanting someone to make a scene. Unfortunately every pub-goer knows how this will play out; either the mouthy idiot will wind up passed out in the toilet or  humiliated in the street with a broken nose.

And I do cop to stealing the dinner jacket name from Maureen Dowd during one of the moments of lucidity when she’s actually funny.

I know I’m-a-dinner-jacket wants a world that is a few centuries behind the times, so doctoring photos of 10-year-old missiles is probably par for the course. Next we’ll find out that the pirated software was Photoshop 5.0 made on an Apple IIG.
