Beer Steak Bullshit

Roxana Saberi is a Iranian born US journalist who spent last six years back in Iran where she worked as freelance journalist reporting for Fox News, the BBC and NPR (National Public Radio). 32 year old Roxana Saberi is a dual citizen with both Iranian and US passports. She was arrested on January 31 and was held in Evin Prison in Tehran, where many political prisoners are held. Charges? Roxana Saberi was accused of spying on Iran and passing documents and information to a hostile state (USA). This is a collection of rare photos of Roxana Saberi along with her story:

Roxana Saberi was born in Iran but grew up in Fargo, North Dakota. She won Miss North Dakota pageant and started to work on her career as a journalist. Six years ago she moved back to Iran and worked from there. Her press credentials were revoked and she was facing up to a life in prison.

When Roxana Saberi to call her father from prison, she told him she was arrested because she was buying an alcohol (bottle of wine) from someone on the street who then reported it to Iranian authorities. Since alcohol is illegal in Iran, Roxana Saberi was arrested and imprisoned.

On Monday, May 11, 2009 it was announced by Abdolsamad Khorramshahi – a lawyer representing Roxana Saberi that she was released from prison. She was originally sentenced to 8 years, but the appeal court of Iran reduced her sentence to 2 years suspended. In mid April Roxana Saberi launched a hunger strike but was forced to end it after hospitalization.

The case of Roxana Saberi even got before US president Barack Obama who appealed to Iranian authorities asking for her immediate release, calling her imprisonment unfounded, assuring Iran that there is no way she could have been involved in any form of espionage. She is free to leave Iran any time she wants now and according to her father Reza Saberi, they will be heading back to Fargo within next few days.

Next few days? If I were unfairly imprisoned, I’d shoot off with first available plane. What the hell do they feel like sticking around for few more day for? Another thing I could never understand – why is Roxana Saberi wearing that head scarf in all photos? She grew up in the USA, it’s a free country. She doesn’t have to follow that humiliating culture? Yet many women still choose to jump on the brainwash wagon and fall with it. I don’t get it. You live in a free country, embrace the freedom.

This hilarious video was made by The Nose on Your Face and contains the Presidents on Mount Rushmore coming to life and talking to each other, when they are joined by Barack Obama with his stuttering, sense lacking, absurd wackiness. This video is way too good and too funny.

As the presidents on Mount Rushmore are talking, Barack Obama appears as one of them and says: “I’m Barack Obama” – all Mount Rushmore presidents freak out. When asked how his first month had been, Barack Obama tells the Presidents on Mount Rushmore… well, he stutters for a while and then says: “I think I screwed up”. The video continues with audio of Barack Obama’s speeches about how confident he is that we could solve this problem, then he blabbers something about Iran and lay-offs and what not. While he talks, the Presidents on Mount Rushmore yawn and make all forms of funny sounds and remarks. The video concludes with malignant Joe Biden growing on Barack Obama’s cheek.

Collisions of navy vessels are the tits. Multimillion dollar monsters equipped with technology we the regular folk don’t even know exists run into each other in vast open waters – got to love that. The collision of two U.S. Navy vessels USS New Orleans and USS Hartford which occured earlier today in the Strait of Hormuz was at least not as bad as collision of Nuclear Subs of British and French Armies in the Atlantic, cause these guys had an entire Atlantic ocean for themselves and managed to collide. Strait of Hormuz isn’t as vast, but still. The collisions involving nuclear powered submarines are getting off the hand. How long till one gets in a collision strong enough to detonate nuclear warheads it carries?

USS Hartford

USS Hartford (SSN 768) is a nuclear powered submarine of the US Navy.

USS New Orleans

USS New Orleans (LPD 18) is an amphibious ship.

Both USS Hartford and USS New Orleans were going in the same direction in the Strait of Hormuz when a submarine crashed into the ship. Since subs are stronger built, USS Hartford suffered no damage to the nuclear propulsion system. USS New Orleans however suffered a ruptured fuel tank resulting in 25,000 gallons of diesel fuel being spilled in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. 15 crew members from USS Hartford reportedly suffered minor injuries and were returned to duty after check up by the physician.

Strait of Hormuz

Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between Iran and Arabian Peninsula. It’s one of the most trafficked bodies of water when it comes to commercial tankers carrying oil. With fuel spillage, US Navy basically spilled oil right in the frontyard of Iran. What that means is hard to tell at the moment.
