You have to read it, but even then it would be hard to believe:
Iran's president warned on Wednesday that the wave of protests sweeping the Middle East will spread to Europe and North America.And this is just for warm up, here is the main sketch:
Speaking on state TV Wednesday, the president also condemned Libya's use of force against demonstrators and urged Libyan leaders to give in to the demands of their people.The AP journalist who has written this article has taken it so seriously that he just had to respond:
The calls for solidarity with protesters across the Arab world came in stark contrast to its own actions to crush dissent at home. Two people were killed and dozens arrested in Iran last Monday when thousands of opposition supporters in Tehran and other cities took to the streets in defiance of a heavy security presence to back uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia that toppled their leaders.So what should we expect next from Mahmoud the Mad? Will he join the Third International now?

He and Gadaffy-duck make a fine pair. I can see a second career for both of them. A slap-stick comedy team.
That was me. My name goes poof sometimes. I think it's 'cause it's past my bedtime.
Yep. World class, with free charity concerts in UN building.
The reason the name goes poof is that freaking comment system. My personal stone to roll up that freaking mountain...
With any luck the protests will spill over from the Arab world but eastwards. The one thing that does worry me is that the Revolutionary Guards have too much to lose if the current regime fals (given the control they have over parts of the econom). They will go down harder than Ghaddafi's minions... I wish it weren't the case
Well we already have union riots in Wisconsin, but fortunately there aren't enough Arabs here to stage one of their own, except, maybe, in Michigan. I could enjoy that if it was in Detroit.
Yeah, I am afraid that we shall wait some time before anything happens there.
Detroit? Too cold this time of the year for riots.
