Ahmadinejad, a biography

Read it all, but keep the lights on, it's scary.

Something lighter (but true):

Overheard in a taxi: A foreign journalist comes to Tehran to cover the elections. He goes to a mosque with his guide and sees people queuing up for food.

“If this is where people eat, where do they pray?” he asked.
“In Tehran University, if you mean Friday prayers,” the guide answered.
“If they pray in universities, where do students and professors go?” asked the puzzled journalist.
“They are in prison.”
“Then where are the criminals?”
“Who do you think is running the country?” the guide said.
