    So Iran runs it elections the way Montessori schools grade their students. When everyone is a winner there is no failure.

    @HiredGoons: I suspect if you ask a real wingnut conspiracy theorist, the answer would be "Dealey Plaza" and "The Ambassador Hotel".

    Either Gawker or the mullahs made a glaring mistake in logic. Two candidates cannot get each get 60% of the vote.
