* Blogging political issues:
In his weblog, “we’ll say it with you,” Emad mentions the story of Emad Jazayeri (a man who was charged with financial corruption, bribery and being a con-artist) and defends him. Explaining his defense of Jazayeri, he says that Jazayeri “was a big genius whom they [the authorities] could not handle.” Enumerating the charges against him, he writes:
“The whole of my argument is this, that someone like Ahmadinejad only knows how to turn money into garbage, spend billions and billions of our country’s money and walkwith his head high in the sky. He even has the backing of the Supreme Leader. But then someone like Jazayeri, who without any financial backing causes such an upheaval, gets caught?
Why? In order to shut up disgruntled strata of society, some people with high visibility must be put on trial, so that the finger of blame is not pointed at the highest tier of society.
Must people think that their problems are caused by Shahram Jazayeri and not by Ahmadinejad or Khamenei, or…”?

* Blogging social issues:
The writer of the blog “caution” writes a piece on some recent drama in his/her clinic, describing a new way (or as a blog reader puts it a “new creation”) to swindle people:
“A few nights ago while I was in the middle of attending to patients, my secretary came in and said: ‘a man who is holding a big fish would like to meet you.’
A middle-aged man entered [my office]….and holding a 20-pound fish in a plastic began to thank me, saying he was so and so’s uncle and I saved his life and he has brought me this fish just as a little token of gratitude... No matter how much I tried, I could not think of who this so and so might have been but I took the fish and thanked him. I was cleaning the fish until midnight. The next day, when I entered my clinic in the afternoon, I saw the same man standing there anxiously.
As soon as he saw me he rushed towards me and said: Doctor, help me… give me back the fish...I have to give it to another doctor but I gave it to you by mistake…why didn’t you tell me you weren’t the right doctor and did not know my niece/nephew.
Me, I was taken aback in front of all the patients in the waiting room and said: your fish is in the freezer at home. He said uncomfortably: ‘then give me the money so I can buy his doctor another fish.’ I counted out 70 thousand toomans [about 70 dollars].
Several days later I found out that that the same thing happened to several of my colleagues…apparently that man had brought a truck load of fish to Isphahan and dumped it on doctors.
