It’s Probably Nothing

It’s not all bad news.

Former Iranian ambassador to Syria and a hostage-taker of U.S. diplomats, Hossein Sheikholeslam, died Thursday from a Covid19 infection, local news outlets report.
 
An advisor to the Islamic Republic Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, 68-year-old Sheikholeslam was one of the leaders of the so-called “Muslim Student Followers of Imam’s Line,” who took 52 U.S. diplomats hostage, on November 4, 1979, and released them after 444 days.

    1. Hope he gave Bearded leader in a dress a deep throat in the last few weeks. China doing the world a favor?

    2. Where he’s at now there aren’t any virgins, just a long line of burning, pus-infected Billy goats ready to take their turn.

  1. The numbers of infected in China is still flat. And so is the recovered number which makes me believe that they’re dead.
    Xi is being promoted as their savior from the devil disease.
    I’ve been told first hand that its mostly Chinese Canadians taking all the Costco toilet paper! F’n peasants. Wonder if they have enough food to make use of it or do they actually think we’re all going to be quarantined here as well.

  2. I used to ask the question about cancer patients – “How come this misery doesn’t happen to bad people? I only seems to happen to good people, people who have actually made the world a better, nicer place to live.”
    And this…..somehow a little justice snuck in.

  3. Good virus! Strikes in the right places. It will send the entire Asia and Africa under 6 feet of clay.

  4. The Michaels have now been detained 453 days by the Chinese. Will we be naming and celebrating the deaths of their hostage takers?

    Why isn’t there a daily count down clock on the CBC.

    It should be the lede as it was with the US hostages.

  5. I’m just wondering about the rapid spread in Iran. Could it possibly be that the Chinese have been sending nuclear scientists to Iran to assist Iran in its quest for nuclear power? I don’t think that there were many Chinese tourists visiting Iran or vice versa, so why the sudden appearance of it in Iran of all places?

    1. Apparently they have a tradition of licking holy shrines in Qom. That practice is now banned due to the coronavirus outbreak, but is likely a big reason why Iran is such a hotspot.

      1. All cultures are equal. From three squeak meal kind to moongod statue licking kind.

  6. The leader of the Italian “Democratic” (Communist) party has announced he has coronavirus and is planning to self-quarantine.

    Wish him a speedy death.
