...You have perhaps heard by now that the Saudi government has banned Barbie dolls (the story is here http://www.arabianews.org/english/article.cfm?qid=111&sid=10). Why? Oh, come on, don't pretend you don't know! Because Barbie is Jewish, silly! The Saudi government has denounced Barbie as "The Jewish Doll," and she absolutely taboo.

Funny, but Barbie's creators probably thought they were making the perfect American WASP. And, all the while, they had . . . a Descendant of Ruth! How embarrassing!

Now that the Saudis have gone on a jihad against Barbie, can we all agree — even the big businessmen and the academics among us — that that regime is very, very, very bad?...

They won't ban Ken, his type is real popular with the males over there.

And this has...what to do with guns, or civil liberties?
