Dante’s ‘skinny bitches, well trained and obedient’ corner on the Iranian Elections Friday June 12, 2009

'I dreamed of this one here as Lord
and huntsman, pursing the wolf
and the cubs up the mountain
(which blocks the sight of Lucca
from the Pisans).

And skinny bitches, well trained
and obedient; he had out in front
as leaders of the pack Gualandi
with Sismondi and Lanfranchi.

A short run, and the father with
his sons Seemed to grow tired, and
then I thought I saw Long fangs
sunk deep into their sides, ripped
open' Inferno xxxiii

Not-so-Chic voter

Modernized Iranian Women about to vote!

Iranian women stand in line to cast their votes!

Tell me is there really any difference (value wise) in one vote cast in America and one vote cast in Iran? No, they both count as one. No difference. This is modern democracy in action. You likey?...But I suppose some conservatives will rant and rave that American democracy is pure and not tainted by Islam etc...the Iranian elections are a sham democracy these conservatives will say. No, the democracy practiced in America is the same democracy that is practiced in Iran-it is called modern democracy, where men and woman cast their vote for their leaders they desire to govern them. Leaders not chosen by Divine Providence but chosen by men. Men who are incapable of governing themselves but will govern a nation. Modern Democracy is a rejection of the Divine Plan for governing men. So I will continue to post photos of politicians and other people of 'merit' casting their votes from every different city in the world --because it is all the same. Most of you are too stubborn to admit this. America is a pure democracy you will say...question for you purist out there who you gonna vote for in the next election cycle. Let me guess... some rich-gutless-WASPish-pervert who will save the world and save your soul... yeah good luck with that....vote...vote.....vote....vote...vote... Rather I will take another road and will chase and hunt this democratic beast from every city-until this democratic beast is thrust back into hell for which she was first sent above by envy.

She mates with many living souls and shall
yet mate with many more, until the Greyhound
arrives, inflicting painful death on her.

That Hound will never feed on land or pewter,
but find his fare in wisdom, love, and virtue;
his place of birth shall be between feltro and feltro.

He will restore low-lying Italy for which
the maid Camilla died of wounds,
and Nisus, Turnus, and Euryalus.

And he will hunt that beast through every city
until he thrusts her back again to Hell,
for which she was first sent above by envy.

For those that know did you think it would start any other way?
