The reports are getting ugly. Turkey's High Court annulled a parliamentary vote for an observant Muslim president, opening the way for possible early general elections.
ISTANBUL, Turkey -- With wide-eyed tourists looking on, Turkish riot police plunged into groups of May Day demonstrators in Istanbul's main central square today, wielding truncheons and dousing protesters with water cannon and pepper spray as they fled down cobbled alleyways and side streets.
More than 700 people were arrested and hundreds reported injured.

Yahmut is bad servant boy, he didn't shave his bottom parts according to great Sharia Law, and he listens to evil Sheryl Crow by leaving many berries from Dingle Tree.
I send him back to cave, and invite other servant boy Al-Gore, he is better, a good Muslim who wants to make nice earth for the Ummah.
Or maybe I make him sleep with my camel tenders Akbar and Yiyiyiyiyi tonight. I think they like bad servant boy with unislamic hairy bottom.
