Blogger Cage Matches

"First match tonight is between two knock-out Persian vixens:

Sheema Kalbasi

vs

Niki Akhavan Jarrar!

Sheema starts out the event by rounding the ropes with this post on the US State Department's ludicrous policy of keeping out ordinary Iranian undergrads and tourists while letting in pro-Mullah stooges. (She couldn't get a visa for her mother to see her new grand-daughter.)

I have some experience in this and I can assure you that the policy is just as inconceivable as Sheema describes.

Now Niki climbs into the cage with this letter, initially sent privately, to Sheema.

She doesn't like Sheema's tone. Every good cage match has a dramatic story behind it. And in this one, Niki's husband, Raed, is a Saddam-boosting socialist who gloated over every death of a US serviceman on his blog until he decided to emmigrate in the most expensive city in the US.: San Francisco. Naturally, she would be sensitive about this kind of talk."
