That Dubai Theocracy. Theocracy with drunk Lebsluts and Brits
I can't resist taking another shot at Andrew Sullivan's preposterous use of the bigot-phrase dhimmitude and calling Dubai a 'theocracy' by pointing to this fine little event (with FT illustration)
FT Weekend Dubai World Cup
Along the track at the 300m mark, the atmosphere among paying customers – at what is regarded as Dubai’s social event of the year – is a cross between Ascot and Cheltenham. In the “Irish village”, young male expats enjoy a Guinness or three, while in the “Bubble Lounge” girls in floaty mini-dresses and high heels drink champagne before teetering off for a photoshoot with Hello!-style magazine Ahlan!
