Southwest Airlines and the Mini Skirt

Say what now? Southwest Airlines employee acting like Osama Bin Laden’s “fashion” police when they tried to prevent Kyla Ebbert a 23 year old student and Hooters waitress from boarding her flight to Tuczon. Ebbert was “caught” by the “morality” police oooppps sorry I meant she was wearing what customer service attendant identified only as Keith as inappropriate.


Kyla Ebbert arrived at Lindbergh Field wearing a white denim miniskirt, high-heel sandals, and a turquoise summer sweater over a tank top over a bra. The picture shows her actual outfit at the time she was deemed inappropriately dressed or lack thereof if you ask the “fashion morality police” of the Osama type. Geez, I can’t believe this is happening in this day and age were women dressed more scantily than what she was wearing.


It seems that Southwest Airlines has a tendency to enforce their “dress code” judging from this blog, which I quote:


The airline that once booted a passenger off a flight for wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the words Meet the Fockers—it had pictures of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Condoleeza Rice— is making travel fashion headlines once again.


Kyla Ebbert a paying airline customer says she was unfairly judge and humiliated at being asked to step out of the plane and told to change her attire. Since she was traveling briefly to her doctors appointment she had no luggage or extra clothes and had she not stood her ground the attendant would not have relented. This after she was given a “lecture” to pull her mini skirt down a bit, pull up her tank top a bit and told to return to her seat. Ebbert says several flight attendants overheard the conversation and, after an embarrassing walk down the aisle, she took her seat and spread a blanket over her lap. Now if that is not humiliating and embarrasing I don’t know what is…….. unless you ask that convicted welfare fraud Khatib whose embarrassment seems out of place… like in a jail.


Garci tape and the Cheating errr Seating Lady President

The saga contnues with the Garci Tape and the Cheating errr Seating Lady President wih so many clowns errr personalities out to protect the Garcified outcome of fraudulent electoral exercise. Give it to the running dogs errr retired CA justices when it comes to upholding the constipation err constitution in a zealous display of adhering to the rule of law by filing a petition to stop the wiretap probe.

The duo of retarded errr retired associate justices according to the Inquirer report said that the “dubious Senate probe” will escalate into a continuing violation, if not flaunting disregard or defiance of the constitution. Bravo what an argument by the brilliant judicial minds in the Philippines where we see sticklers to the rule of law, huh they are really following the letter of the law to the minutest detail…… hmnnnnn, why am I not impressed? In some ways I see the point of the retarded errr retired ass opppps associate justices in seeing the probe as dubious since they have been at it before and it was truly a cirque de soleil, ok a wanna be since the probe was so calculated and safe making sure they limit the coverage to the allege presidential fraud.

The duo of retired justices namely Santiago Ranada and Oswaldo Agcaoile in their 15-page petition for prohibition with prayer for the issuance of temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction was based in part with the “absence of explicit consent from the parties to the recorded conversation, the unauthorized wiretap is thus considered illegal”. Huh? What in the name of Acxa Ramirez argument is that? Of course the parties that were recorded will not for the life of bedolable garcified winners of a selection contest come out and say Yesssssss that was me. Unless it was to try and scam the US government for alms when La Glory was like a little kid asking for ice cream in volunteering the presence of terrorist and even Al Queda so she can on board in the war of terror errr on terror.

So mere possesion of this Garci tape according to the geniuses is a criminal offense, fer cryin out loud why are they not arresting people, they are all over the internet and this was once the biggest blockbuster in the Philippines, here enjoy hahaha.





The liemakers errr lawmakers ought to revisit this wire tapping law and if this argument is upheld by the courts then any recorded conversation from terrorist groups can simply not give their “consent”. That’s all it takes for a criminal to dodge prosecution just like the argument of self-confessed Jose Pidal the little brother taking the fall for first lady errr gentleman Mike Arroyo by invoking violation of his privacy.

This garci tape get’s even ever with the argument presented by the new bedolable senator and favorite nephew of La Diva de Mala Malu Migz Zubiri when he says playing the garci tape would violate not only the civil liberties of President Arroyo but of everyone else as well, including the media. To bolster his argument he said that if the Garci Tape is played in the Senate Committees, nothing will stop unscrupulous individuals to wiretap conversations of public officials, including Senators and Congressmen, and members of the media and use these illegally wiretap materials for black propaganda or blackmail.

Why is Miguel Zubiri worried about blackmail anyway, too much skeleton in his bedolable closet? Amazing indeed, where do we draw the line on “civil liberties” and criminal fraudulent act? Does that mean that anyone can break the law with impunity and all one has to do to escape prosecution is to invoke your civil liberties, dang since when did we give importance to civil liberties anyway? Did the men in uniform abducting those they deem “enemies” of La Gloria errr the state civil liberties considered without any arrest warrants or even a court case pending against them just disappear without a trace?


Hijab (Muslim Head Scarf) at issue in court

Souhair Khatib a US citizen from Lebanon together with her Husband was convicted of welfare fraud last year. Sentenced to three years' probation and 30 days of community service. They were given 120 days to complete the community service.

On November 1st 2 days before the deadline set by the judge the Khatibs returned to court to ask for an extension. Souhair Khatib had completed 15 hours of community service while the husband a mere four was ordered by Superior Court Judge Douglas Hatchimonji jailed.
Jailed for about 8 hours she was ordered by her jailer to remove her hijab (head scarf) for which she claims her “rights” were violated.

Khatib, 32, of Anaheim, was quoted as saying she filed the lawsuit to make other Muslim women in the U.S. aware of their right to religious freedom. So she is the poster girl for US Muslim women one that is convicted of welfare fraud, nice real nice. While many Islamic women cover their heads and necks with scarves, known as hijabs, especially in public as mandated by the Koran do you still have the same rights when incarcerated?

This is really a good test case on freedom, tolerance, rights, and security inside a jail facility and according to Khatib which I quote from the LA Times article:
.

Wearing the hijab "is an obligation," and being without it is embarrassing because a woman's head and neck are exposed to strange men in the courtroom and male deputies in jail, Khatib said.


"They humiliated me. We have the right to [wear] our scarves," she said.

According to the suit, not wearing a scarf is a "serious breach of faith." Khatib said she did not wear one while living in her native Lebanon but ended the "sin" of not covering up seven years ago, after arriving in the United States.


Oh geez it does not seem like a big deal errr “sin” back when she was in Lebanon so what makes this a big “sin” now that she is in the US? Hmmmn I am almost a convert to this “right” but the case has some very minor detail that can turn off principled freedom loving people…….. they are seeking unspecified damages. Dinero baby, so which one is more important the hijab or the moolah? And then there is this allegation of “strange” male deputies in jail, and how did the male deputies in jail become strange if I may ask? Who does she think she is Paris Hilton? When one is sent to jail for welfare fraud do you not belong to the prison system and lose whatever rights you have?
Hmnnnnn, I am wondering if this lady was subjected to strip search, probably not but it will even be more interesting if they were. That would have been a "bigger sin" and truly embarrasing to be in your birthday suit as against just showing you neck and head with "strange" deputies doing the search all over your butt naked "sinful" body..
