In a nationally televised speech in Iran today, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei ordered his countrymen not to stage further protests, warning the nation, "I am following you all on Twitter."
To back up his words, the Supreme Leader then displayed his Twitter account page, showing that he was indeed following 65,875,224 people, but had only one follower, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The Ayatollah's announcement sent a chill up the spines of opposition leaders, most of whom assumed that the Supreme Leader did not have a Twitter account.
"You mean he's been reading all my tweets?" said opposition organizer Mohsen Sobhi. "Oh, shit."

Khamani on Twitter -
12th century meets the 21st.
That sounds like something Dick Cheney would say.
May be he can follow his predecesso r.... into exile.
Wow! Wait till the Supreme Leader gets a hold of Grand Theft Auto III ...
You won't be able to get him outta the palace.
Lets regress or recapitulate, as Governor Faubus of Alabama use to say during the time of the civil rights struggle during the "60's". Definition (Bon) French = Good, Acronym (BON) = Balance Of Nature. Now, the BON has been upset by a few GREEDY people in this country who were able to get or have elected a WEAK leader to this country for thir personal purposes, and thus we now have the whole GD world in a Mess, which is not Bon !
Faubus was governor of Arkansas, not Alabama.
Splitting hairs, same thing really :P
