Impressive article…looks like the Greeks have done it again!
By the way, I never realized that Kelly Clarkson is Greek…no wonder she’s so good!

Oops - well, he is an Iranian but not a Persian, right? At any rate, the rule of thumb is that we (Persians) are allowed to claim Armenians if they excel at something. The Greeks do the same thing with people in the Mediterranean.

Looks like the Greeks carried the edge over the Persians by one point. Surprised? Probably not. The Greeks overcame much harder odds against the Persians about 1500 years ago…

I don’t know if there is an Iranian-American who has done more politically than Ameri. Any ideas? Am I missing something?

You’re insane but it is an interesting thought. If Ameri topped Dukakis, I’m not sure a lesbian kingdom would have been a secure conclusion to your blog.
