In my never ending empathy for those who only get their ‘news’ from DKos, I’m linking a blog post alluding to three days (and counting) of unrest in Iran. The references Althouse uses are from the NY Times. Having perused diaries extant as of 01:00, 12/31/17, and seeing no reference ti Iran, I wanted to make sure you knew about it, as they are not isolated events. You can also Google it, if the NYT isn’t to your taste.
