Ah-Ma-Dinner-Jacket + a noose = Perfect

Ahmenejad Uniform

Another picture from the campaign trail in Iran. Note how Ahmenejad's helper behind him wears the exact same outfit as the (outgoing?) President...Is this some sort of party uniform?

Get Well Mahmoud (or die)

These are not great days for rogue leaders. Both Kim Jong-il and Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are feared to be unwell. The North Korean's health has been discussed here before and his status is still unwell. Mahmoud is, apparently, burnt out. The poor bugger has been working hard in his wind breaker, at least to look like a taxi driver on lunch break. 

His outfit is a clever attempt to fit into his electorate and to be 'one of them'. It's clever because, unlike Kimmy, Mahmoud is popularly elected and has to win the next election, scheduled for 2009. We say: Good health to you (kind of) and get yourself a tailor while you're at it...
