Yesterday I got most my needed work done, but it really tired me out.  I\u2019m current on replies.  Today I co-facilitate a therapy group for former prisoners, so I\u2019ll miss my morning sleep. Therefore, tomorrow may be light on articles.<\/font><\/p>\n

Short Takes<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From LA Times<\/a>: <\/font>A court in Jidda, Saudi Arabia, has sentenced a woman to 10 lashes for defying the kingdom\u2019s ban on female drivers, Amnesty International<\/a> said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

News of the decision came just two days after King Abdullah surprised his ultraconservative nation<\/a> by announcing that women would be given the right to vote, run for local office and serve on the Shura Council, the king’s advisory board.<\/p>\n

This is where barbarism and irony meet.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Raw Story<\/a>: <\/font>Leisha Hailey, an actress who starred on "The L-Word" and performs in electro-pop band Uh Huh Her, took to the Twittersphere Monday evening<\/a> in a tirade against Southwest Airlines. <\/p>\n

Hailey said that she had kissed another woman on a Southwest flight, and was told by an employee that Southwest was a "family airline" and was subsequently removed from the flight.<\/p>\n

I can understand how Southwest might not want people making out during the flight, but I\u2019ve never heard of a hetero couple thrown off an airliner for it.<\/font><\/p>\n
