Saudi Arabia once again helps the middle east to knock one out of the park in the “What Century Is This, You Backwards Asses” international competition.

A Saudi court on Saturday convicted a female journalist for her involvement in a TV show, in which a Saudi man publicly talked about sex, and sentenced her to 60 lashes.

Rozanna al-Yami is believed to be the first Saudi woman journalist to be given such a punishment. The charges against her included involvement in the preparation of the program and advertising the segment on the Internet.

    I don’t see how anyone can read this and not conclude that we had to invade Iraq.
