Watched a couple of Iranian TV shows. What a contrast! They NEVER mention religion...you'd never know what they believed was waiting for them in any afterlife. They bring cultured and very funny and educated people to speak...you can tell there is great wit and wisdom and HUMOR and SATIRE and tongue in cheek sarcasm and most of all, nuances!!! They have music too and the same interminable commercials...but in between there is something worthwhile, enlightening, funny, entertaining.
Assyrians have been in this country for over 100 years and are as dismal looking and sounding now as they ever were...Iranians came in numbers some twenty years ago and already they run the show.
All weve managed to do is trot out religious people to tell us how great we are...politicians who make us weep...commentators who can barely speak and look like nothing more then deer caught in the headlights of a huge semi.
Then there's Jackie, who in this company, is a veritable Barbara Walters, Barbra Steisand and Miss Piggy all rolled up into one half-breed Armenian.
Shawn...I really don't want to see you at my door with yet another lawsuit claiming that Jackie can no longer eat ham sandwiches...kay?
