"I do not think it means what you think it means."

There are many bones to pick with what Matt Yglesias wrote (ironically I think) that "Ahmadinejad has a pretty sweet hipster style." Yglesias points to the stylings of Ahmadinejad's interview, "And I was in a bar where the TV was showing his interview with Anderson Cooper (it's DC, these things happen) and while there was no sound, he certainly looked witty and charming." Look say whatever you want about Ahmadinejad, but hipsters are not "witty or charming". In fact they are the opposite: annoying and alienating. I feel like it's Inigo Montoya award time. Alas, I do not have the proper authority to do bestow it.
