Taxi!

While my friend AllahPundit is getting over the recent Alex Rodriguez trade and what it means for his beloved Crimson Jihad, he did take the time to include this tidbit in a recent news roundup:
"[A] radical experiment in governance was inaugurated: Iran, with its 2,500-year history of monarchy, would be ruled by men of religion. The democratic winds of the revolution had been overwhelmed by Persia's traditional authoritarianism. The king would wear a turban. A quarter century afterward, last summer, I stood near a major Tehran intersection watching a cleric attempting to hail a taxi. None would stop for him.
Classic.

Taxi!"
Do taxi drivers in Iran hail from Pakistan? Or maybe Brooklyn?
Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
