I can’t say that the possibility of Secret Agent Kim ever crossed my mind, but the world is wide and full of wonders.

On the second Saturday of April, 44-year-old Mahsa Torabi put on a pair of black running pants and a blue sweater with green reflective stripes. That day, she would become the first woman to ever publicly finish a marathon in Iran. She chose a pink-patterned hijab, and she set out for Naqsh-e Rustam, an ancient…

In his own quixotic celebration of International Women’s Day, a conservative lawmaker was recorded telling his supporters that ladies, like animals, don’t belong in government. Iranian women just won a record 14 seats in the country’s parliament, which is, evidently, just like monkeys running things.

A newscaster for PressTV, Iran’s state-run, English-language TV station, has fled the country after revealing she was sexually harassed at work for years. Two of Sheena Shirani’s supervisors have been suspended after she shared an audio recording and dozens of messages on Facebook from one of them demanding sex from…

On Wednesday morning, Sen. Barbara Ann Mikulski (D-Md.) announced her support of the Iran nuclear deal, becoming the 34th Senate Democrat to do so. At this point, President Barack Obama has enough votes to sustain his veto of a promised resolution of disapproval from the Republicans. In other words, barring some…

Arizona Congressman Matt Salmon is apologizing after getting a little too real with a class full of elementary school students, during what was supposed to be a light conversation about how a bill becomes a law. Instead, Salmon took the opportunity to tell the kids about nuclear weapons and ask them, “Do you know that…

This weekend, GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee showed the world exactly how tasteless he could be when he compared President Obama’s Iran deal with the Holocaust.

Jon Stewart admitted on The Daily Show that gleeful, wall-to-wall Donald Trump coverage is basically the same thing as frantically jacking it every hour on the hour. But can you blame them?

Did you know that Iran and a group of nations led by the U.S. reached an historic agreement over nuclear weapons this week that’s been decades in the making? Probably not, but who cares! Fortunately for you, Rihanna and Channing Tatum do. And they’re here (like Ryan Gosling and Kate Upton before them) to explain it to…

Congratulations to Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, who has expanded his ever-impressive resume by accidentally modeling for Marital and Sexual Problems in Men, a sexual education book found in Iran.
