As more and more stirring protest images emerge in the wake of Iran’s highly contested election, one can’t help but wonder: why exactly have we constantly, unrepentantly characterized its citiziens (by way of its leaders) as “evil?” Clearly there are A LOT of people in the country who believe the government isn’t serving their interests. Instead of lumping them all together under Bush’s Axis of Evil – a move which undoubtedly drove many moderates into Ahmadinejad’s arms – wouldn’t it have been better if we had tried to embolden these people all along? Ok, enough intelligence: now back to Lindsay’s boobs. [Photo Via Twitter].
Lunch is long gone; it’s 4 p.m., Norman Bates is, like, really real, Iran is still insane, MySpace is on the out, Sean Penn is taking a break, Lindsay Lohan is sort of, kind of slutty, the Ventures’ Bob Bogle has embraced the great beyond, and work just won’t end. There’s only one way to make it out of this day alive: THE CAT POWER HAPPY HOUR, a daily pick-me-up from your friends at Flavorpill. After the jump, a picture so cute it’ll turn your cubicle into a den of pure cuddle. (Check back tomorrow, same time, same place for more unhinged adorability.)
