We've not laid into our old buddy Matt Drudge in quite some time; honestly, it was just getting too easy. But this morning was different. Tulips? Iran? Even we're stumped. Perhaps Mr. Greenthumb has springtime bulbs on the brain, but we're more inclined to think of this as some sort of psychedlic concoction, wherein Drudge works only within the confines of his own personal Xanadu. Coleridge would be proud, we think.

Update: Scholarly readers have revealed that the tulip is the national flower of Iran. But you'd still have to be tripping with the damsel and her dulcimer in order to punctuate this story with that photo art.
