when the mutaween are not trying to put witches to death or ban red roses, they focus on flirtingProsecutors in Saudi Arabia have begun investigating 57 young men who were arrested on Thursday for flirting with girls at shopping centres in Mecca.
The men are accused of wearing indecent clothes, playing loud music and dancing in order to attract the attention of girls, the Saudi Gazette reported.
They were arrested following a request of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.
The mutaween enforce Saudi Arabia's conservative brand of Islam, Wahhabism.

Personally, Howard has an extremely thick hide. And I think the results of the 50 state strategy speak for themselves.
Yes, he's very conservative with spending. He's always been something of a cheapskate, but that's a good thing.
And he works his ass off for the greater good, not for himself. Just walked by his house and he's home for the first time in ages. Hope he's got the computer off for a day or two.

February 23, 2008 -- MICHELLE Obama struck a raw nerve earlier this week when she suggested she had never been proud of her country until now. "For the first time in my adult lifetime," the 44-year-old wife of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama told a Milwaukee crowd, "I'm really proud of my country."
Conservative pundits and bloggers were quick to criticize her. Even Sen. John McCain's wife, Cindy, let it be known that she's never had any problem being proud of her country.

OT: The fearsome hunting skills of a wild rattlesnake have been caught on camera for the first time.
Using a specially designed camera trap, a BBC crew managed to film the snake killing and then eating his victim - a small mouse - in the wild.
The mouse died almost immediately after being stabbed and injected with the timber rattlesnake's deadly venom.
The snake hunt was filmed in New York State, US, under the guidance of rattlesnake expert Harry Greene.
He helped the crew track the snake by using radio telemetry.
The footage forms part of the BBC One series Life in Cold Blood.

Carville's political acumen and genius was more likely a product of self-promotion and running a Presidential campaign during a Bush economy with a conservative third party candidate running. He managed to lose Democratic majorities in the House and Senate for the first time in 40 years with his brilliant political strategering during a booming economy.

Inflation in India rose more than expected in early February to a six month high on rising food prices.
The wholesale price index hit 4.35% for the year up to 9 February, as the price of vegetables, fruit and lentils rose.
Economists expect inflation to head higher still as last week's rise in fuel prices starts to take effect.
Inflation remains below the Indian central bank's target rate of 5% but economists say it could breach that level in the near future.

Bush Hopes Recession Doesn't Affect Sales Of His Memoirs
WASHINGTON—President George W. Bush told reporters Monday that he remains optimistic that the impending recession will end before his memoirs go on sale. "With any luck, we can pull together as a nation and get through this thing before Dec. 15, 2010," said Bush, referring to the tentative release date of his autobiography, Born Leading. "It would be a terrible tragedy if this massive economic downturn left the average American family unable to afford the $39.95 plus tax they need to buy my book." Bush added that he is currently considering an exclusive straight- to-paperback deal with Wal-Mart to make his memoirs less costly should the country slide into a crippling economic depression.

But Barbarism, don't you realize that Arlen's a Moderate Republican? He's really teh Centrist. He just, you know, cuddles up to the Ratwing from time to time to time to time...

jawbone-- okay, too easy. Let's try this one:
Troop Morale Boosted By Surprise Visit From First Dog
BAGHDAD—U.S. troops stationed in Iraq hailed an unannounced and unaccompanied visit Monday from Barney, the senior White House dog who belongs to President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush.
Landing in Baghdad's Green Zone amid extremely tight security, the Scottish terrier met with nearly 800 troops at a military mess hall, then visited Camp Victory, the U.S. military headquarters on the outskirts of Baghdad. In both locations, the 6-year-old First Dog was greeted with loud cheers and standing ovations by servicemen and women.
"Barney's visit really cheered us all up," said Army Spc. Anthony Udall, who was given the privilege of escorting Barney across the airport tarmac. "I can't tell you how great it is that the White House would send one of its own to spend some time with us out here."
Although the dog was in Iraq for less than a day, he maintained a busy schedule while there. Events included handshakes with top U.S. field commanders, a tour of the base's new recreation facility, and a ride in an armored vehicle. Besides sitting and staying at a military briefing, Barney also participated in the ground-breaking for a new visitors reception center at Camp Victory, during which he energetically dug alongside camp officials.
"As soon as he stepped off the plane, it was clear he was interested in what was happening on the ground here," said Gen. George Casey, commander of Multi-National Force-Iraq who met with the First Dog in the courtyard outside his office at Camp Victory. "He seemed extremely enthusiastic about the whole situation and he was even visibly excited about some of the progress we're making."
But the visit's highlight was the First Dog's encounter with soldiers, who were clearly taken with his presence. Sitting with his head cocked to one side, he listened intently to the soldiers' concerns before receiving a treat and a pat on the head. Barney showed further solidarity with the troops by accepting an impromptu invitation to a belated Thanksgiving feast, during which he impressed servicemen and women with his hearty, nondiscriminating appetite.
The First Dog also received a tummy rub courtesy of the 100th Infantry Battalion.

McCain ain't the only one with Paxson's stink on him.
"In June 1999, WQED and Paxson engaged heavy-hitting lobbyist Patton Boggs. Since then, Patton Boggs attorneys Lanny Davis and Thomas Siebert, Congressmen Ron Klink (D-PA), Frank Mascara (D-PA), Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and Billy Tauzin (R-LA) all have written in support of the application."

Tate & Lyle sugar sold in shops is to be Fairtrade accredited, making it the biggest UK firm to carry the label.
Granulated white cane sugar will be the brand's first Fairtrade product but it says it expects its entire retail range to follow by the end of 2009.
To earn a Fairtrade label, firms must pay local producers a fair price, and invest further to improve working conditions and local sustainability.
The firm says it will add £60m to the value of Fairtrade sugar inside a year.
Fairtrade Foundation executive director Harriet Lamb said: "In terms of size and scale, this is the biggest ever Fairtrade switch by a UK company and it's tremendous this iconic UK brand is backing Fairtrade."

True story:
Phone rings:
Me: Hello?
Howard: Hi Gromit, it's Howard Dean. Is Dave home yet?
Me: No, he's still out fundraising of the ski team.
Howard: Well, I just did something terrible.
Me: [thinks, oh shit, he's run over my son] What's that?
Howard: He just came to the door and I blew him off. My son chewed me out. "Do you know who that was? His parents always buy stuff from us when we're raising money for school!"

He's certainly managed to sell that garbage to the voters for a long time.
Maybe they'll see through it this time.
Not that I'm expecting an actual liberal to get elected. It'd probably be a clone of Silent Bob Casey, but it'd still be better than Arlen.

Carville's problem is for all his bluster, he was raised on a diet of concilliating and big money doners. Any actual leadership or firmly held beliefs that won't be bargained away are foreign to him. Small donations are to be sneered at. In the Cathedral vs. the Bizaar metaphor, he's the bishop.
