Magic

I'm not claiming that my pajamas have magic in them...

If I had a nickel for every time I have heard that. Moving on.

One caller who was a woman from Saudi Arabia said that the Iraqi elections were a joke, an American theatrical action and all this kind of crap like "no democracy under occupation"…blah blah blah.

Oh, this is delicious. A Saudi woman who has less rights than a camel* is commenting on the Iraqi democracy! A Saudi woman who is not allowed to travel by herself** is pontificating about the Iraqi elections! A Saudi woman who can't get a simple driver's license*** is giving her asinine opinion on Iraqi freedom!

A sad Saudi woman who, in the end, cannot comment on Saudi elections because none have ever occured. Please, don't count the sham municipal elections that recently took place in Saudi Arabia because the victors were simply chosen and women were not allowed to vote.

* Camels don't have to cover themselves from head to toe in scorching heat.
** Women must have permission from their guardian and a male companion when they travel. If you're single, the guardian is your father or uncle. If you're married, the guardian is your husband.
*** Women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia. Ergo, driver's licenses for females are not issued.
