Power of the ‘stache
Rob
A lot has been made of the trouble Iran is causing lately. Cable news networks
abound with stories about President Ahmadinejad’s steadfast desire for nukes and the
destruction of Israel. He is shouting all the classic rhetoric about US being the great Satan,
secularism being the great Satan, Zionism being the great Satan etc etc...ya know, the usual.
Yet despite his overt hostility, I think everyone takes him a little lightly because he doesn’t
look like such a bad guy.
A. He plays the moustache off the beard and it makes him a lot less intimidating.
How terrifying are old men with just moustaches? Take our ambassador to the UN John Bolton.
Hey France--hope you had fun giving the US a hard time about Iraq...have fun dealing with this dude
for the next four years. And then there’s Wilfred Brimley who is one of the most intimidating people
in film and TV despite being short and out of shape. I’m pretty sure these are the guys every kid
has to face after driving a baseball through your next door neighbor's window. They look like angry
dogs for some reason.
B. But I digress--so besides the beard thing, the President in Tehran is always rocking
the business casual attire. He doesn’t exactly eschew the western garb but he goes more for the
it’s always casual Friday/my kids little Bobby and Jenny Ahmadinejad got me an outfit from GAP
December 23rd cause they hadn’t picked out a Christmas gift and just threw something together but I
still wear it everyday cause I have nothing else kind of look. How seriously can you take the whole
nuclear proliferation thing when the guy is one step away from wacky tacky tie day?
Anyway, I still think the Iranian government is just sitting on E-Trade picking up oil futures
the day before one of these angry "you are all gonna be sorry" kinda speeches. Until next time all.
