you just reminded me to write more letters to my senator-maybe the u.n.?-about pakistans latest move in the 'Swat' area there, where they will now allow what the newspaper called particularly harsh islamic law-rather than fight the taliban of course. i mean, that's hard. and we know where that will leave women and girls there.
this is an absolutely ridiculous move by the sheikh. does he really think there will be no backlash?! and you'd think with how things currently are in dubai, that the last thing he would wish would be to piss off a portion of the international community. maybe i'll write the WTA as well, there should be no question about whether this tourney should be on the calendar next year.

A statement read: “Barclays has a commercial agreement with Dubai Duty Free as the title sponsors for the tennis championships. Our agreement does not allow us to interfere with any actions or decisions that have to do with the tournament itself, or the players, or the regulations of the host country.”

Who knew Jews played tennis.
Apparently not the Sheik.

While it has nothing to do with racing / tennis / or rights, I heard this on the radio yesterday, and googled to verify it.

See, the Turks aligned themselves with the mainly anti-semitic Arab World(like the sheik here) over that Gaza mess. Now, they have very few Jews spending money in their resorts, and the Jewish lobby isn't gunna try to block the American Recognition of the Armenian Genocide(by OBAMA.) Armenians have always said the Jewish Lobby has protected the Turks from the American Recognition of the Armenian Genocide. The term "Jewish Lobby," I guess, would start with this gal:

Would love to see if they would let Cohen ride there in the Golden Shaheen again. Does he ride in any graded stakes anymore? Is that pretty much it for that guy?
