I'm arguing over the fact that the reviewer said that "mullahs and extremists" co-opted the revolution which led to the Islamic Republic. Khomeini and his people were in the lead of the protests and anti-Shah movement from the beginning. They theref…

I wrote part of my master's thesis about the Iranian Revolution. I'm not basing my comments on soulstrut. But that reviewer doesn't know the history of the revolution.

One of the best parts of the Warriors win over the Clippers last night

Again, the Islamists, i.e. followers of Khomeini were at the forefront of the revolution against the Shah from the get go, and did not co-opt the revolution as that review states.

I'm talking about the followers of Khomeini and the religious students in centers like Qom were in the forefront of the protests against the Shah from the beginning. I think some of the first protests in the country were in 1977 and were by follower…

I don't think Kenny Smith has a chance. He had a very good college career, and an okay time in the NBA. By the time Houston was clicking he'd been reduced to a three point spot up player to space the floor so that Olajuwon could operate.

Reggie Miller doesn't think Martin can create much offense on his own and needs to be set up by Westbrook, but doesn't think Westbrook is a real play maker.

T., Bogut looked good. Got some shots and rebounds. Played 18 min, 8 pts, 6 rebounds. Afterward he said the coach and trainers don't want him playing over 20 min a game right now until they're completely sure about his health. He said he want…

Back to the CBA. If I can remember correctly teams that go over the salary cap initially pay the players salary plus $1.50 for every dollar they're over in luxury taxes as well. So if Harden was to get $5 mil/yr, and that put them over the cap, OKC …

Warriors had an ugly win last night against Phoenix who they should've blown out. Lee and Curry still can't guard anyone. They did start Bogut and he played 18 minutes. Think if he played more, it wouldn't have been as close. Carl Landry saved the d…

Martin is more one dimensional jump shooter. Harden can shoot, drive, plus pass the ball. Think most would agree Harden is a far better player. Martin being a 6th man, instant offense for OKC still works for them.
-
It wouldn't just be $5 million more. The new collective bargaining agreement places large penalties on teams that go over the cap, and resigning Harden for what he wanted would pass that threshold.

Early press reports say Martin is going to be the 6th man so I think he'll do fine because he'll have the green light to shoot and that's really all he does.

By far my favorite tune from this album

There was a nice small Jamaican place in Emeryville that served ox tail. Placed just closed down though. That clip reminds me of eating there. So good.

Just saw her in concert this summer in Chicago. She slimmed down a lot and sounded great. She sang this song as well.

Mike Brown will be the downfall of any team that wants to actually win the big games, and a championship. The Lakers should have listened to Magic and canned his ass after last year's playoffs.
-
Bynum was the 3rd option on the Lakers, sometimes the 4th. With the Sixers he'll be number one. I don't see him handling that responsibility well.
-
Bynum was inconsistent and immature. Howard will get tons of easy points just off of lobs from Nash. That's also the reason why I don't think the Sixers will have a breakthrough this year.

Latest Pew poll I believe has Romney and Obama neck and neck again, just like they were before the Republican Convention. Some were writing off Romney in that other presidential thread. Romney didn't get a bump from the Republican Convention,…

Did you watch the Z-Trip video? He's got his collection organized by BPM. Obviously good for a working DJ, but how the hell would you find anything for casual listening?

Don't know whether Mooney is gay. He has/had a wife and several kids. His daughter helps manage him I believe. Of course having family doesn't mean your not gay, but something to consider.

Clash - Police and Thieves. When Lee Perry met one of them he told them they destroyed his song!
