Wouldn't you know, but once again Iran is one of the topics of discussion again. The panelists aren't able to reach a consensus on what to make of six-nation proposal for negotiations with Iran.
Eric Umansky expresses some hope in the youth of Iran, calling them Western-oriented, and mentioning that Farsi, the native language of most Iranians, "is the third most common language on the Internet."
Online polls are another topic of talk. Guest panelist Amy Alkon calls them "nearly worthless." I'd like to add that a commenter on Free Republic said it best, "Internet polls aren't worth the paper they're printed on." But they do drive traffic to blogs, the panelists agree, so I'm considering adding some online polls here.
Late May and early June are time for college graduations, and law professor Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit takes the lead on what recent grads can expect in the real world.
The death threat to Little Green Footballs' Charles Johnson (who once again did a post on Klocek and DePaul, thanks), is talked about.
From LGF:
At 3:23 am, this creature used our contact form to send the following message with the obviously phony Hotmail address "zionistpig@hotmail.com" and the subject line, "You bunch of wankers."
I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut...
The IP address from where that comment was sent was traced by Johnson to an East London Reuters office, where Muslim Council of Britain media secretary Inayat Bunglawala works as a systems engineer. MCB is the British equivalent of CAIR--and to a lot of people, including me, that isn't good.
Reuters confirms an employee was suspended in regards to that message, but won't say who it was.
