One Giant Leap for the Gals in Afghanistan

According to this report, President Hamid Karzai is advocating that the country's men allow their women to vote as long as they vote the way they're told.

This is yet another step forward in President G.W. Bush's campaign to bring all of Laura Bush's God-given rights to the women of Afghanistan. Even she must blush with envy when she reads, "Some benefits have also trickled down to women in more traditional roles. Hamida Shaheed, a middle-aged housewife, notes that she can travel to the market without fear of being beaten." Wow, responsibility for shopping. With sensible shoes and a bob, there's no limit to the future for these women.

Inside sources have told me that work is underway on a plan to deploy the 4th Squadron of Dr. Laura's Marriage Councelor Paratroopers (TM) to speed things along. (Keep an eye out for her upcoming best seller, "The Proper Care and Feeding of Warlords.") Cotillions and small arms training can't be far away for these desert flowers. Although there's some concern in Washington that missing curfew and showing up tanked now calls for stoning, you can't give and take without a few cultural curve balls!

You go girls! Um, I mean, rock on, eh.

Yours in Manhood,
