Recently I was listening to this episode of This American Life (Act Two, to be precise) and realized that the American Muslim community is experiencing a frightening witch hunt. In short, Masan Azbahi was an Obama campaign liaison to Chicago’s Muslim community until he was accused of being a terrorist. Why? Because he had once [...]

"War Has Got to Be A Last Option . . . I Believe that America Has to Exercise All Options"

Civil Rights, Lite! And Free Rice for Vocabulary!
Ok, so I know that this is discombobulated. I mostly just really like this cartoon. And there’s also this website where you can play a word game and send rice to starving people. It’s the perfect no-guilt procrastination device for those of us who are not on the Atkins diet. Speaking of which, Atkins is [...]
