and me being an ignoramus, and there being no way to go back and fix things.

Damn

What, exactly, is the "Islamic world"? Would it include Indonesia, the nation with the most Muslims in it? India, #2? Most of Africa? Wanna invade all that?

And howabout all those Muslims in France and the UK and Spain and so on? Invade Europe?

Ok, lets parse out who are the acceptable Muslims, you know, Turks good, Iranians bad, Kuwaitis, well they got oil so we'll wink at a few things.

Gets kinda complicated, doesn't it?

OK, option two, build a wall against the world. But the world has kinda seeped in. So what should we do about Muslim Americans? Not just the immigrants, I mean the converted African-Americans who used to be slaves and have been in America since before the Revolution?

I know, we'll set up "camps" for them, where we can "concentrate" them, it works so well at Gitmo. That'll manage the problem, sure.

"I'm supposed to be surprised when a bunch of drunken louts crowded together to watch a violent ritual spectacle of aggression start acting rudely toward the women in their midst?"

As a one-time player and some-time coach, I just want to say this is a load of crap. Football, while a contact sport, is not as violent as say hockey or lacrosse or boxing or even water-polo. And it is played by women too. Nor are audiences for it necessarily drunk or louts; I for one do not drink when watching, it makes it too hard to follow the subtleties. And what the men are doing goes rather beyond rudeness, it amounts to criminal harassment and should be treated as such.

And yes, the Jets do suck.

Well, as a sort of blonde myself, back when I had hair anyway (I'll have you know that I'm still very hairy on the inside) and the father of three extremely blonde blue-eyed children (father of Aryans, that's me, well I married a nordic Aryan type who made a fool out of me I suppose) I'll take any advantage they can get out of the situation, especially making everyone around them as stupid as these "researchers." While they stand there gaping stupidly, they deserve to be conquered and have their skulls turned into my children's drinking cups. Just sayin'.

"We are BEOWULF!" (Anybody else seen that stupid movie yet?)

The way things work in Saudi, I betcha almost anything that eventually the judges will discover a missing piece of evidence or a missed procedure or something. Or there will be an act of "clemency" or something. It just has to be done without looking like the result of infidel pressure; now that Western displeasure has been made known, probably the best thing everyone can do is shut up and let the Saudi idiots save some face.

What bugs me, is that this woman is likely going to be saved by the international outcry. What about all the other women lashed and imprisoned for similar offences, that we haven't heard of?

I have been made stupid over the years by redheads, by far more stupid than blondes ever did. And what about women that dye their hair blue, green, and pink? How do they do on the making men stupid index?

To say nothing of dreadlocks, cornrows, and other kinky hair strategies, all of which have made me stupid from time to time.

Though the thing that made me stupidest of all was about 5 feet (I kid you not) of coal black utterly straight hair unleashed on me about 15 years ago, I was a drooling idiot I tell you.

Parsley armpit hair is a great idea! Also parsley pubes I think. And maybe carefully molded stuffing just below that in the stuffing escape area for added yuckiness.

I hate turkey, it is a rank meat, even the free-range grain-fed types I usually roast. I hate having to cook it so often this time of year (as a dual citizen, I get to do it three times between October and December), I might just do this. Thanks for the link!

The Bushies, being a theocratic nepotistic corrupt low IQ operation, have a certain simpatico with the al Sauds, and this is probably one area where they actually are competent to conduct foreign policy, sick as that idea is.
