You know, rather than read this agenda-driving slop why not tell us what is happening in Yemen?
Yeah, haven't heard much about them or Saudi lately, have we, readers?
Yeah, as I predicted, the peace talks have gone nowhere and disappeared from the War Daily coverage. I've seen that movie before.
"Saudi police have no love for Valentine’s Day" by Associated Press | February 12, 2010
Actually, neither do I.
Guilt-ridden expenses and rotting of the teeth? No thanks.
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Members of the feared Saudi religious police were inspecting shops for red roses, heart-shaped products, or gifts wrapped in red and ordering storeowners to get rid of them, the official said. He spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.
And these guys are our bestest buddies in the region (outside Israel)?
Red-colored or heart-shaped items are legal at other times of the year, but as Feb. 14 nears, they become contraband in Saudi Arabia.
Actually, makes it sound more exciting and desirable, doesn't it?
I'm going to lose what body part if I'm caught?

The kingdom bans the celebration of Western holidays such as Valentine’s Day, named after a Christian saint said to have been martyred by the Romans in the third century.
Gee, I'd rather be over in Malaysia where the Christians call God Allah.
Why are we getting hung up on names when we are all believers?
You know who (rhymes with) isn't, right, readers?
The Valentine’s Day prohibition is in line with Saudi’s strict Wahhabi school of Islam, which the kingdom has followed for more than a century.
On, the bin Laden brand of terrorism, right?
The birthplace of Islam also bans several Muslim holidays except the two most important ones because it considers them “religious innovations’’ that Islam doesn’t sanction.
So IRAN is MORE TOLERANT than OUR FRIENDS in the Muslim world, 'eh, AmeriKa? Chew on that one for a while before the missiles fly, will ya?
Even birthdays and Mother’s Day are frowned on by the religious establishment, although people almost never get punished for celebrating them....
Well, you know how those Muslims are with their women.
Good thing we are bombing the shit out of their men and sons, 'eh?
So when does the wife-whipping and blood-drinking start over there?
Isn't that the impression I'm to walk away with, readers?
