Bieber Fever Hits The Democrats

OK just shoot me now:

Democrats are hoping they've found a new weapon for the November midterm election — the vulnerable appeal of teen pop star Justin Bieber. "Bieber can't vote in our midterms (he's both too young and too Canadian)," runs a get-out-the-vote clip that's being showcased by the liberal outreach group Campus Progress, a college spin-off of the Center for American Progress. The spot argues that Americans over 18 should show up at the polls to look out for Bieber's best interests. "Whomever we elect in the 2010 midterm elections will impact his future and ours," says one of the clip's participants. "So tell your parents, your grandparents, your Facebook friends... If they won't do it for you, ask them to do it for Bieber."

On the other hand, this could be a tool to bring in that Catholic priest vote.

Fake Document Time Again

Now this is sounding familiar:

The U.N. nuclear monitoring agency presented documents Monday that diplomats said indicate Iran may have focused on a nuclear weapons program after 2003 - the year that a U.S. intelligence report says such work stopped.

Iran again denied ever trying to make such arms. Ali Ashgar Soltanieh, the chief Iranian delegate to the International Atomic Energy Agency, dismissed the information showcased by the body as "forgeries."

He and other diplomats, all linked to the IAEA, commented after a closed-door presentation to the agency's 35-nation board of intelligence findings from the U.S. and its allies and other information purporting to show Iranian attempts to make nuclear arms.

I'm not saying that Iran's claim isn't bogus, but we all know about false documents regarding nuclear ambitions and leading us into war.
