The recent hurricanes, tornadoes, and gasoline issues are proof of the existence of a new chemical element. A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science.
The new element has been named Governmentium.
Governmentium (Gv) has one neutron, 25 assistance neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called “morons”, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called “peons”.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take over four days to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 4 years. It does not decay, but, instead, it undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentiums mass will actually increase over time, since each organization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass. When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium - an element which radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many peons, but, twice as many morons.

In a ceremony commemorating the Women’s day in Iran, Ahmadinejad shocked the audience by jumping off the stage to present an award to Shahid Motahari’s wife. According to reports, he jumped off the stage after he noticed that the wife of the Martyr is old and cannot stand up. Although, the act is nice on its own, I think someone has forgotten to remind the president that there are stairs and one usually does not have to jump off the stage.

An ancient gold cup mysteriously acquired by an English scrap metal dealer is expected to fetch close to a million dollars at auction after languishing for years in a shoe box under its current owner’s bed.
Owner John Webber says his grandfather gave him the 5.5-inch (14-centimetre) high mug to play with when he was a child, back in 1945.
He assumed the golden cup, which is decorated with the heads of two women facing in opposite directions, their foreheads garlanded with two knotted snakes, was made from brass.
But he decided to get it valued when he was moving house last year and was told it was actually a rare piece of ancient Persian treasure, beaten out of a single sheet of gold hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus Christ.

Iran War Resolution May Be Passed Next Week
Introduced less than a month ago, Resolution 362, also known as the Iran War Resolution, could be passed by the House as early as next week. The bill is the chief legislative priority of AIPAC. On its Web site, AIPAC endorses the resolutions as a way to ”Stop Iran’s Nuclear Program” and tells readers to lobby Congress to pass the bill. In the Senate, a sister resolution, Resolution 580, has gained co-sponsors with similar speed. The Senate measure was introduced by Indiana Democrat Evan Bayh on June 2. It has since gained 19 co-sponsors.
The bill’s key section “demands that the president initiate an international effort to immediately and dramatically increase the economic, political, and diplomatic pressure on Iran to verifiably suspend its nuclear enrichment activities by, inter alia, prohibiting the export to Iran of all refined petroleum products; imposing stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains, and cargo entering or departing Iran; and prohibiting the international movement of all Iranian officials not involved in negotiating the suspension of Iran’s nuclear program.” “Imposing stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains, and cargo entering or departing Iran” can be read to mean that the president should initiate a naval blockade of Iran. A unilateral naval blockade without UN sanction is an act of war. Resolution 362 has already gained 170 co-sponsors, or nearly 40 percent of the House. It has been referred to the Foreign Affairs Committee, which has 49 members, 24 of whom, including the ranking Republican, are co-sponsors.
The Iran Nuclear Watch Web site writes, “According to the House leadership, this resolution is going to ‘pass like a hot knife through butter’ before the end of June on what is called suspension - meaning no amendments can be introduced during the 20-minute maximum debate. It also means it is assumed the bill will pass by a 2/3 majority and is non-controversial.” Our national legislators deem it non-controversial to recommend to a president known for his recklessness and bad judgment that he consider engaging in an act of war against Iran. Those of you who consider this issue controversial can go to the Just Foreign Policy Web site and tell your representative to oppose this resolution.

Dear Mr. Obama,
I am sorry to say that I am disappointed with your recent moves towards the political right. As soon as you won the Democratic primary, you went to AIPAC to pledge your allegiance to the Israeli right wing. And just yesterday you went back on your commitment to public financing. But really, the icing on the cake came when you recently indicated that you support the FISA bill that legitimizes wireless surveillance. You certainly are amazing.
What’s really interesting is your stance on Iran. In 2004, you said that America might need to launch “surgical airstrikes” against Iran and its nuclear program. But by 2007 you had reversed this position, instead favoring direct diplomatic negotiations. Not to worry, just this month you announced that you had changed your position once again and were no longer committed to negotiations without preconditions. In addition, you recently called Iran a “threat,” telling a pro-Israel audience that the “military option” is not out of the question.
Where’s the difference between your position and that of Senator McCain? Gone is the Obama who, during the Democratic primary campaign, warned about the consequences of a war with Iran. You don’t mention the issue in your speeches anymore, and you don’t seem so concerned about the possibility. Your new position on Iran is unfortunate, but who can expect anything different from someone who has recently changed his views on a whole multitude of issues?
So, I ask you: Do you honestly believe that there is a military solution to the standoff with Iran? Do you really think that Iran is such a threat to the security of Israel (A country that, by the way, possesses 150 nuclear weapons and is the world’s 8th largest arms exporter)? And are you willing to reject the current U.S. stance towards Iran and instead make a genuine effort for peace and cooperation? So far, the answer to these questions appears to be a clear “No,” as you seem genuinely committed to continuing the policies of warmongering, occupation, and profiteering.

Here is classic scanned picture of an Iranian Passport from 1932 AD or 1311 AP (AP = Anno Persico/Anno Persarum = Persian year).
The first thing you will notice is that French was the main foreign language in Iran under Reza Shah Pahlavi. English became more important later on. This individual was born on 1282 AP which was during reign of Mozafaredin Shah of Qajar Dynasty. It is also interesting that they have mentioned in the passport that he has a shaved beard and unibrow. The last item in the page is supposed to be religion, however they have marked it out and replaced it with “Nationality: Iranian.”
