IRANIAN Women Soccer Team Gets Reamed by Suckers

"Another FIFA Fiasco: Iran Women Banned from Olympic Qualifier Over Headscarves"

" ... Let the men at FIFA and the government of Iran go to battle over how to dress women athletes. All the bluster in the world won't change the fact that a group of talented women lost the chance to play at the Olympics because of their outfits. ... "

" ...The team forfeited the qualifier against Jordan last Friday because they would not play without their specially-designed head and neck-covering scarves. FIFA says the team's headgear violates uniform rules that set out before the match — a claim denied by Iran. (EMILY RAUHALA. Thursday, June 9, 2011. LINK (3)) ..."

The suppression of the Burkha, being itself suppressed, has made Burkha Bans a modern clausterfuck:

Athe-ocracy: What's behind France's Burkha Ban? Security, or statist secularism? | Timothy P. Carney | Beltway Confidential | Washington Examiner: "A major feminist group in France supported the ban, as far as I could tell. It seems 'tolerance' and 'liberation' sometimes mean making it illegal for some women to dress as they please."

MooPig's Phone Conversations We'd Like to have Heard

Wouldn’t it be Great if Obama and his Czars Weren’t Clueless? [Cartoon from HERE]  |  Retrieved for Ed Porpoises by Pat Darnell

CZAR Candidate's phone: Ring Ring ... "Hello"

BO: "Hello, Mrs Johnson, this is Barry."

Mrs Johnson: "Uh ... erm .. who?"

BO: "Barry Obama ! I need your help on a task. I need a Burkha Czar ... and I think you are my candidate !"

Mrs J: "What makes you think that ?"

BO: "They're making miniature black holes in Europe. They might be smuggling them in burkhas. I need you to study them, and report back to me and the Senate. Okay ?"

Mrs J: "Mind boggling, Mr President. Is this full time employment you are offering ?"

BO: "Well, could you work out of your home at first ?"

EXCERPT   |  "I [Michael J. Kilgus] worked in DC, and when I did, someone in a Czar’s position made the equivelent of what would be, today, $225,000.00 a year. That’s a lot of money, but add it up:

Obama, I believe, currently has 30 Czars working for him, and that totals: $6,750,000.00 a year, and that is just the basic total.

Each Czar will need an office staff, and that staff usually consists of three close aides, at $125,000, per year, 4 staffers, at $75,000 per year, and a receptionist at $60,000 per year, and that totals: $725,000.00 per office, times 30 offices equals: $21,750,000.00 per year, added to the $6,750,000.00 ..., and we have a total of $28,500,000.00 per year, just to pay for the Czars,, and their staff’s salaries.

$28,500,000.00 a year! I know, they’ll say they don’t get paid that much! Well, folks, it’s DC; it is expensive to live in DC, it is expensive to hire proper staff, and it’s expensive, especially if every person in the office, including the Czars, are Cronies of Obama, and they are being paid off for something they have done for him! (Kilgus, Michael J. SEPTEMBER 6TH, 2009, SOURCE)

... Mrs Johnson: "Now, we have to add on all of my “personal expenses”, such as high dollar suits, and clothing, expensive meals, new cars, with chauffeurs, the gas, the foreign trips, ... so when do I start?"

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – A group of Saudi clerics urged the kingdom's new information minister on Sunday to ban women from appearing on TV or in newspapers and magazines, making clear that the country's hardline religious establishment is skeptical of a new push toward moderation.

In a statement, the 35 hardline clergymen also called on Abdel Aziz Khoja, who was appointed by King Abdullah on Feb. 14, to prohibit the playing of music and music shows on television.

"We have great hope that this media reform will be accomplished by you," said the statement. "We have noticed how well-rooted perversity is in the Ministry of Information and Culture, in television, radio, press, culture clubs and the book fair."

Although it raises the pressure on the new minister, the recommendation is likely to have little effect. Khoja's appointment was part of a government shake-up by Abdullah that removed a number of hardline figures and is believed to be part of an effort to weaken the influence of conservatives in this devout desert kingdom.

"No Saudi women should appear on TV, no matter what the reason," the statement said. "No images of women should appear in Saudi newspapers and magazines."

Saudi Arabia was founded on an alliance with the conservative Wahhabi strain of Islam that sees the mixing of sexes as anathema and believes the playing of music violates religious values.

The former information minister, Iyad Madani, earned the ire of hardliners several years ago by allowing music in government-run TV and female journalists to interview men, despite the country's strict gender-segregation rules.

Women also appear on Saudi television with their faces showing, though most in public totally cover themselves.

Newspapers publish pictures of Saudi women, but almost always with their heads covered, while pictures of Western entertainers are shown but bare arms and cleavage are painted over.

The clerics include several professors from the ultra-conservative Imam University, Islamic research scholars, a judge in a court in the resort of Taif and some government employees.

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, in town for meetings with Saudi officials, told a news conference that during lunch he sat between a female Saudi surgeon and a female journalist. He said while one woman is allowed to perform surgery and another is allowed to teach, neither is permitted to drive.

"I find that bizarre," he said.

Did Kenny Rogers Endorse McCain? -- Good Question

What Would a Maverick Do? -- Good Question, by Pat Darnell

Wink and a smile?

Certainly that is part of the ruse. However, it makes a perfect bluff face in any poker game.

And a Gun?

That would enforce the Mavericks, for sure.


I'm pretty sure Maverick would never wear a Burkha... you think? Maybe so.


Let's go to the song boards:

Gambler/ Kenny Rogers
On a warm summers evenin on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.

He said, son, Ive made a life out of reading peoples faces,
And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces.
For a taste of your whiskey Ill give you some advice.

So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, if youre gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.

Now every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
cause ev'ry hands a winner and evry hands a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.

So when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window,
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
