Irreverent, contrarian, delighted to be out of synch with the zeitgeist, I depend on my sense of humour (such as it is) to keep me sane in this wacky world.

Saudis take a page from the Canadian playbook: Look what I found embedded in an Arab News piece about "women’s rights" in the Magic Kingdom:

Women have also called for representation on the Shoura Council so they can influence change and development. Others have also asked for inclusion on the board of the newly established Human Rights Commission in order to ensure women get the rights that their faith guarantees and their faith-based government also should guarantee.

Good luck getting your “rights,” Saudi chicks. Everyone "in the know" knows that Human Rights Commissions—whether Wahhabi, UNi or Canucki—are in the business of removing rights, not granting them.
