One reads that the Revolutionary Guard mullahs who run Iran as a theocratic dictatorship became so upset by their private viewing in Teheran of Ben Affleck's Oscar-winning movie "Argo," claiming that it portrays a false image of their country, that they now want to sue Hollywood.

Surely this can only lead to a sequel, likely starring Sacha Baron Cohen, as the berserk Iranian lawyer, Jason, sent to the United States by the Ayatollah Gokrazee, to actually file and prosecute the case for a Golden Fleece, only to find that he can't get a hearing even in the Burbank traffic court.

The flick, full of off-color sheep jokes, of course, will prove to be the hit of 2014, winning the comedian his own Oscar as the star of "Jason and the Argo Nutz."
