Only 20 more miles to the poll booth. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fgw-saudi-arabia-women-vote-20110926,0,7986169.story?track=rss |

Vote with your feet
King Abdullah has granted Saudi women the right to vote*. This was probably the result of the many protests that have taken place in the Middle East recently. Unfortunately it is still illegal for women to drive which means they will be walking to the polls. This strange ruling is based on the belief that single women who drive may come into contact with mechanics and policemen and might be enticed into committing fornication. They are probably right considering how many women have lost their virginity parked on lovers lane. It also explains why I found grease and empty donut boxes in the back seat of my wife's car.
