3. You mean the mean little dude from Iran?
Spell it, sure. Say it properly, especially after a couple of beers ... that's another matter. :)

6. Its not hard to spell...
For some reason, it's just really tiring to type it out over and over again.

A-H-M-A-D-I-N-E-J-A-D. But can't we just call him the "Ah-Man" or something?

17. I have no choice. When I take the little old ladies out to the store, they
insist I sit down and have a refreshment with them...and there's that show, plain as day. Either that, or the Martha Stewart one, depending on the timing! I don't see it every day, but often enough to 'get' the format.

It's rather amusing, though some of the panel are dumb as rocks. That Hasselback woman is unbearable--a vicious, rigid, twit, and that new gal who said the earth was flat and six thousand years old is well meaning, will agree with anyone about anything if pressed, and is about seventeen bricks shy of a load, IMO. I like the Joy woman--she has a wicked sense of humor and is always fun, Barbara Walters is elegant, and Whoopie is always a delight.

I used to get a kick out of Rosie O'Donnell--she'd get shitty and fight sometimes, but it was never a dull moment!

14. Ahmedinejad, learnt it right after the election
Of course, there's a lot of leeway in how Farsi translates into European letters. However, my spelling is the basic idea and about as good as it's going to get.
