Foreign goings-on

In a switch from the normal storyline, a Christian woman has sued the Jordan Dubai Islamic Bank, claiming she was dismissed for refusing to wear a veil.

And the United Nations has named Zimbabwe's dictator, Robert Mugabe, as "international tourism ambassador".

As Conan O'Brien says about Zimbabwe, "You'll come for the country's pristine natural beauty. You'll stay because rogue soldiers have chained you to a burned-out jeep."

More likely, Mugabe's regular troops will be doing the chaining.

Does the UN have an expiration date?

Tell me again, why are we tolerating the UN on our shores (with their hands in our pockets)?

Good luck to that lady in Jordan, but she's wrong about one thing: there is no such thing as religious freedom in a Muslim country.
