Romney served as the Mormon equivalent in his church. When you take a role of responsibility within your church, it is arguable that your religion or church are up for discussion...

Well done :)

Agreed.

THANK YOU. I love how people act like Iranian nuclear development is somehow in the hands of the President of the United States. And that we should plunge into some kind of insane unfunded war to stop it.

wow, that was a completely awesome and appropriate comeback badmutha! :)

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I love Philly and I love cats. Also, for all my philly folks, I THINK this guy is a waiter at the Farmer's Cabinet on Walnut. Although I'm sure a lot of folks have that stache.....

HA! Preach :) I feel the same way! :)

that is weird! I have 20/20 vision and feel pretty proud of it, although I have nothing to do with it :)

We always want what we don't have! :)

True story: I am middle eastern and everyone in my family has brown eyes. When I started kindergarten, i was really freaked out by the people with blue eyes. I thought God had forgotten to fill their heads in and it upset me. Even now, light blue eyes make me a little uneasy. hehe

FUCK YES. I stand with you Tsathoggua.

I am so proud, as a woman and a Syrian, of Amina. I also think it's impressive that she acknowledged her privilege here - if she hadn't been wealthy and EXTREMELY connected politically, that exchange with the soldiers would have taken a much more horrible turn. She is an inspiration!! Also, her father freaking rocks…

hells yeah! that is exactly my sitch. the last thing I want to do is waste time at stores.

um, but she got that job BECAUSE she was hot. There are plenty of female economists capable of reporting financial news. She is on tv because she is a good looking one... I think that it sort of goes with the territory, sort of like paparazzi and celebrity (not that I'm condoning it).

No wonder Holly was so pissed off! At least she [seemed] to genuinely love him.

Look, the reason people conflate the terms "Jew" and "Israeli" is because Israel is a Jewish state. Citizenship is assumed if you are Jewish. I'm not saying it's right, but it's understandable. I think the same people that conflate the two also conflate "Arab" and "Muslim" or "Palestinian" and "terrorist."

LOL. yes, Islam definitely doesn't it's fair share of sweeping negative generalizations. SNARK.

I want to cry when I think of how she must have felt. I know how I would have felt as a grown ass woman.

I would also like to see this magic mystery chart.

unfucking believable. I am so sorry that you had to go through that. *hugs*
