#1 Mmmm! The online weather sites were a few hours ago forecasting rain in Jeddah on Wednesday. They are now forecasting just cloud.

I see an attempt to impress the ignorant coming unglued. HeHe!

#2 My wife hasn't worn a veil since 1987, and we had record rainfall here last year. Maybe it's because I openly support Bush.

#3 I could pray to see more pictures like the one with Lil Kim in veil and nothing else that were in One World last year.

#4 "...including the increasing openness of women...." ~~make them travel in underground tunnels that will work~~

"Addressing hundreds of worshippers ~~wife beating slobs~~ in Mecca...."

"Muslims should purify their hearts of âenvy, jealousy, hatred, breaking off (relations).." ~~whatâs that mean break off with one of your other wives?~~

"He singled out women" ~~gotta blame this on someone~~

"....being indifferent with hijab (veil)..â ~~ya now thatâs one sexy piece a hijab veil..~~

âIt is not a healthy sign, as we want women to play their role ~~cook food have sex etc~~ and to be active in the society, ~~do the laundry~~ â he said.

#5 I remember reading about ancient civilizations, you know 5k-10k BC making sacrifices to "gods" for rain, fertility etc. Anybody see a resembelance here? Maybe they can do some human sacrifices. As a matter a fact I think, to get some rain, they should have a big mass suicide. That should appease the "god" of mohammed the pedophile.

#6 In deference to Saudi Arabia's precip problems, I asked my wife to put on a veil. She refused. I came home from work and our oldest chicken was dead.

I gave it a back-to-nature burial, apologized to my wife, and lo and behold this morning---
it started snowing here.

What does it all mean? Mucky, work with me on this.....

#8 It's been in the low to mid 70's here for the past week, beautiful spring weather. Today, the wind's howling and it's supposed to snow by this evening. If it was yesterday, I'd declare the weather report an April Fool's joke.

I think the Saudis should go back and carefully re-read the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament, and try to square their behavior with how they treat the Jews. They don't seem to get it...

One of the side effects of the 9/11 and 3/11 bombings has been more people hitting their knees every evening. While I'm not one of those Bible-thumping Southern Baptist fire-and-brimstone preachers I grew up hearing as a kid, I do have a strong belief in God, and I do know you DON'T mock Him. Islam's rejection of His Commandments do that. I think He's as tired of their "Holier than Thou" attitude as the rest of us, and is doing His part to throw sand in their faces, too. If God's pissed at them, all the "prayer" and "supplication" in the world isn't going to do thim any good, until they change how they treat His chosen people, the Jews. We'll see when that happens...

#12 So these schmucks still don't understand the mechanics of rainfall, what else is new?

They sure can breed goats, though...
