I blogged a bit during Afghan elections on Masooda Jalal, Afghan's new Minister of Women's affairs (and she ran for President as well). I blogged about the truly historic first vote of women ( and men for that matter) in Afghanistan and how the MSM pretty much ignored it for the incredible story it was. The feminists in this country were no where to be found, of course.

Beautiful Atrocities has more on this amazing woman and all that she faced. I love her quotes. Here is my favorite.

On fearlessness- "I have dug a hole & buried all my fears."


Did you hear about Prince Harry's really stupid youthful mistake? Being politically incorrect is one thing. This is quite another.

"Prince Harry was today urged to visit Auschwitz after his apology for wearing a Nazi officer's uniform to a fancy dress party appeared to do little to calm the controversy.

A photograph splashed across the front page of the Sun showed Prince Harry enjoying a drink and a cigarette while dressed as a member of Rommel's Afrika Corps, complete with red swastika armband."

It was a "native and colonial" themed party, held at the country mansion of the Olympic showjumper Richard Meade.

Those Brits have so much fun, don't they?
