In other Dubai news, it appears that Nakheel Tower and Jumeira Gardens are on hold. Nakheel Tower was going to be the world's tallest building at one kilometer (3,280 feet). Jumeira Gardens was going to be a city-within-a-city, built on what used to be Satwa, the po' section of town (where the workers lived, and where all of the tailors and repair shops were).

Last I heard, they were already bulldozing Satwa, though. Hmm. Wonder if they'll rebuild it for the workers?

"Dubai Worker Village", perhaps?

"Indentured Servant City"?

"Oppressed Peoples Township"?

I can see the logos already!

Number two, it appears a teenager from the UAE is going to take on Tiger Woods in the Dubai Desert Classic next month.

Yeah, good luck there, sport.

Lastly, that British adulterer lady has apparently lost her appeal. Ugh. I'm sick of Brits getting all "Blimey, I didn't know that was the way here!" This article doesn't mention her kids at all, who probably are quite glad. Can you imagine the whole world knowing that your mother was an adulterer?

What's the letter "A" in Arabic, can we get a red one cut out and sewn onto all of that lady's clothing?

Aw, they just shut all of the tailors in Satwa!

Poor planning, poor planning ...
