Foresight is a Rarity

We're at war with crazed ideologues who leap at any sign of the West's cultural weakness, Mrs. Laura Bush visits Jeddah, is presented with an hijab, and with all the sense of a cod in a fish trap puts the thing on in front of cameras.

This by a woman who has no doubt been warned six ways to Sunday by her press secretary never to appear in an apron for fear of being thought "submissive."

No wonder I get these migraines.

  1. Damn it, Laura! Donning a hajib is a job for the Speaker of the House!

    I have to joke; it curbs the disgust.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
