And this is how the "good" ME country treats you. (Man I wish we could drill ourselves to oil-independence. Wait, what ...?)

"An Australian woman irritated by a car taking up two disabled parking spaces knew Emirati customs well enough to obscure the license plate on her photograph before posting it on Facebook; nonetheless, the owner of the offending vehicle complained to the authorities about being insulted. They promptly arrested the Australian, strip-searched, convicted, jailed, then deported her.

"Worse, the ruling family can misbehave with impunity. Issa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a brother of the ruler of Abu Dhabi, videotaped himself sadistically torturing and nearly murdering an Afghan merchant whom he accused of cheating him out of $5,000. But – unlike the Australian woman – Issa suffered no consequences because the interior minister, another brother, arranged for him to be found innocent."

Huh. Maybe the AGs for Clean Power will get on to this case soon?

What is it about the Left and their desire to be free from personal hygiene?

Huh: keep your trap shut about the TPP, and we'll give you a fat DoD contract.

Psych!

Cousin Dave, The BERN isn't against personal hygiene, he's just opposed to you having the choice of 23 different deodorants. Anti-choice, as it were.

If it was good enough for Woodrow Wilson, it's good enough for you, too, bunkie!

Speaking of starving children, I used to hear competing ads: 1/5th of US children face hunger, 1/5th of US children are obese.

Sounds like a distribution problem...

All products and services cost more for women. Seriously, when you go the grocery store, there are always two prices on the shelf for every product: a price for men and a price for women, and the women's price is always higher, without exception. It must be true, because experts in Washington say so. Who knew?

"The BERN isn't against personal hygiene, he's just opposed to you having the choice of 23 different deodorants. Anti-choice, as it were."

Notice that he said "spray deodorants". I haven't seen one of those since about 1974.

Surely you've seen the commercials for Axe Cousin Dave.

And I do like the marketing for Sex Panther. 60% of the time it works every time! Though that is marketed as a cologne and not a spray deodorant.
