The locals page of Asharq Al-Awsat on Saturday was filled with some pretty interesting articles. If you can’t read Arabic, it’s not my fault :) but you can use Ajeeb to translate some, however, I can’t grantee you anything. So, let’s kick off.

“Saudi. Elections. I thought I would never hear these two words at the same sentence.” I read this comment several times by several columnists in the past few weeks, and Husein Shubukshi is making no exception here. He says one can only hope. Where did I read that before? Yeah, I can remember, that was Zaydoun.

Let’s move on and take a look at the Saudi boys who decide to get rid of their Riyadh and go some place where they can dance and have fun. Wait a minute, did I say have fun? At/near Riyadh? You gotta be kiddin’ me! Because as soon as you arrive to your fun spot, you will be followed by some young men who wanted to volunteer to help the Religious Policemen and make sure to ruin your party.

Feel sad about the party? Well, I don’t think you will be sad as much as Hassa’s people (including me) who lost their historical Qaisriah market after it was burnt to the ground by anonymous in 2001. Also, I can’t forget to thank the firemen who helped in destroying our living legend forever.
