"Almost as ridiculous as people getting their knickers in a twist over the President doing something as innocuos and culturally sensitive as holding abdullah's hand. Why shouldn't the President be so sensitive?"

Yeah, why shouldn't Bush make out with foreign leaders and kiss their butts? Everyones so narrow minded!

pardon me...I think I'm going to be sick now....

[aimhigh]

Democrats do

Having nothing to offer, the Democrat's most recent decision was, "Shall it be cigars today?"

Looks like the kitties got 'em.

You either "Import From" or "Export To".

[Aroha]

Uhhhhhhhh Someone get your tidy whities in a wad? Perhaps Yul Gibbons gave you a used and smelly pine cone?

My perceptiosn and assumptions are very different from yours. Clearly very different. Thankfully.

[monday]

Ever hear of paragraphs?

.......You control both houses of congress and the white house.....

I try. I really try. When I run in to a ranting nut case like this, I really try to find a bit of something in their rant that I can say Hey, you know what, you're right about that. The above is the only thing I can find. I also agree with his implication that we (the Reps) aren't being agressive enough about our agenda.

This very new faux-Freeper is right about our lack of aggression and we should fix that. In his honor.

Interestingly, her work contract specified that she could not leave the house or make telephone calls without her employer's permission.

In a country where the "right to die," and assisted suicide are becoming acceptable, this should be no big deal. If she "chooses" slavery, let her be one! /s

Start with Grover Norquist Jr, a major Saudi sychophant and embarassment.

You hit the nail on the head, Lunkster! Saudi Arabia is full of Filipina maids who are treated as slaves by their Saudi masters. I suspect that the Sri Lankan woman is a Christian as well. As I've said before, my loathing of all things Saudi is deep and abiding.

The two Saudis face charges of forced labor, aggravated sexual abuse, document servitude

Not to put too fine a point on the particulars, but what, I wonder, is document servitude?

[GretchenM]

Ranking Saudi religious authorities endorse slavery; for example, Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan recently [said] that "Slavery is a part of Islam" and whoever wants it abolished is "an infidel."

The Sheikh's theology would change in a nanosecond if his allah granted him the religious privilege of being the slave.

[Tax-chick]

In before the ZOT! Bless your heart, honey.

Met a guy like this in my area, he was at the park with his wife, 4 children and his concubine...The 4 children did not look like the wife...

[rightwingintelligentsia]

My niece was friends (briefly) with a Saudi couple, the husband of which was a graduate student at Penn State. They brought their Indonesian maid with them from S.A. to serve them in their small State College apartment--my niece said they treated her like dirt and wouldn't allow her to look at or speak to visitors.

Thanks for the reminder*~*
