Islam Karimov

Saturday, November 3, 2007

Islam Karimov has had the same job since 1991, leader of Uzbekistan. His one season in the ELL began with promise, but ultimately, Karimov couldn't hang with the big boys. Boiling people wasn't enough. Niether was deciding that you're the ruler of your country for life. No one cares when that country is Uzbekistan. Well, maybe people from Uzbekistan care, I don't really know. Perhaps someday he'll be back. The irony that he persecutes Islamists depite the fact that his name is Islam could hasten his return.

Overall record: 3-4
Season 2: 3-4

Playoff record: 0-0
Season 2: ---
Overall record against each opponent

Islam Karimov lost a tie-breaker to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and was relegated.

Fun fact: Islam Karimov doesn't actually boil people. He has people do that for him. He just likes to watch.

Dude, Karimov runs a tight ship. I landed in Uzbekistan (the airport is basically a hotel with a strip of gravel and some non-functioning metal detectors) to see mean-ass soldiers confisated the passports of anyone who looked Asian. Moseyed past this and wandered around outside the airport terminal - really pretty, but I just didn't see any signs and no one cared. Anyways, it had absolutely no one creating order out of anything and then all of the sudden, you're stuck in the airport and they're all serious. So I had a beer. I took the next plane out. Uzbekistan is sketch.
