Saudi women allowed to ride bikes

[Al-Jazeera] Word spreads of alleged change in law.

On Monday, Saudi daily al-Yawm cited an unnamed official as saying women can now ride bikes in parks and recreational areas. According to the official, the ruling stipulated that women must wear a full-body abaya, be accompanied by a male relative, and stay within certain areas. They are allowed to bike for recreational purposes only, not as a primary mode of transportation.

That’s not satire from The Onion. The Kuwaiti artist who produced that illustration (Mohammad Sharaf)  is going to get a knock on his door in the middle of the night. It also turns out that Al-J cropped the original image. Here’s what was left out:

The sarcastic Persian caption translates to “non-prohibited.” Fun facts to know and tell on The Overnight Open Thread.

I’m a pessimistic optimist, in that I expect the worst, and if the worst doesn’t come to pass, it’s gravy. This new year has the potential to be just as bad economically as 2011, but I have hope.

Trouble is, hope don’t feed the bulldog, so we’re forced to hunker down until the storm passes. There’s a small patch of blue sky on the economic horizon that suggests the worst may be over.  Don’t bet on it clearing until after November when the political pendulum begins its slow return to normalcy, providing plenty of gravy and mixed metaphors for all on The Overnight Open Thread.
