Witnesses say a man accused of drinking alcohol has been given about 50 whip lashes by radical Islamists who have seized control of parts of northern Mali.
A resident of Timbuktu city, Mohamed Maiga, told The Associated Press he saw the agents of the Islamist group's moral police whipping the young man in public near the market on Monday.

So, how do Malians celebrate St. Patrick’s day? Don’t tell me it is a dry party!

You know, If fifty lashes would have saved me from doing some of the things I did while under the influence, I’d take them in a New York minute.

Hillary got off lucky in Egypt. I hope she stays sober if Mali is on the docket.

Yeah, you’re right, I thought of that after I wrote my screed. If the things I did weren’t enough to stop me, 500 lashes wouldn’t have worked.
