Before Americans get too self congratulatory about Muslim assimilation into society, we should be aware of the types of Muslims who have come to the U.S. and Canada, as compared to those in Europe. The U.S. and Canada have generally benefitted from a “brain drain” from Muslim countries. Through most of the 20th…

Pronounced “Fanshaw”.

In other words, they will morph into Red Sox fans.

That would be Trump’s fondest dream. He goes to Mexico and Mexicans assault him? Makes him more popular in the U. S. He was helped by the masked people in the U. S. who rioted and damaged property while waving Mexican flags in San Jose. Riots in Mexico would give his campaign a huge boost: “I told you they were all…

Like Colin Powell?

“As God is my witness, I thought Colin Kaepernick was white! Or maybe Samoan or something.” —Rodney Harrison

Yeah, you know Eric was there telling Spirit: “Quick, take off and save yourself!! I’ll stay here and fight off he eagle!”. Knowing that Spirit Would soon be lunch.

Navaeh? How does one pronounce that?

Obama did not “grow up” in Chicago. He was already an adult when he moved there. Prior to living there he had lived in Honolulu, Indonesia, California, and New York by the time he graduated college. It would be more accurate to say he “grew up” in any of those places than in Chicago.

Undoubtedly, Mike Trout would do a better “ceremonial first swim” than Harper.

In Hawaii, if you are (and look) Japanese, Korean or Chinese, and dressed normally, I would figure that you would probably be treated as well as, or maybe better than, Caucasians, many of whom are seen as doper/surf bums or “expats” from the west coast working in jobs like construction or travel, or military, and all…

Another thing that should be mentioned is to be quiet immediately. I have heard people who think that if Miranda rights are not read to them, the the whole case against them will be thrown out. That is completely wrong. Sometimes, officers will arrest a person and take him to the police station without reading him the…

I think that her fall was not na intentional dive. She appears to have lost her balance and fell forward.

Subtitles would help.

I figured the reason Mongolia wasn’t scooping up all the medals in archery was because there were no events that required shooting at stuff while riding a horse.

Not to be even more pedantic but I seem to remember that years ago the NZ rugby team was called the “All Black” (singular) not “All Blacks” (plural).

If it is Kaine, each ticket will be a person born in the Truman administration paired with a person born in the Eisenhower administration. If it is Vilsack, the Democrats will have two people born in the Truman administration. Young, dynamic American politics!

Babies are really easy to buy gifts for. Since they are so young and not aware of what you are getting them, nothing is age-inappropriate. Just buy them something they will grow into, like a book or a basketball or something they can use later on in life. Except for maybe liquor and cigarettes.

Among his acting credits, you should have mentioned one of his best, in Albert Brooks’ “Lost in America”. He drew the biggest laugh in the movie with the line “I LIKE Wayne Newton.”

That’s the way I felt about “200 Motels” the only movie made by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.
