Yup- been to Amman, Kerak, Jerusalem, Istanbul.... just beautiful. And, the architecture. Wow!

I get it; my Dad’s parents were from India, so there aren’t too many movies made in LA where my exact ethnic mix is represented. Bollywood? Nope, not me.

Obviously, no Muslim should be subject to bigotry or accused of not belonging to American society simply because he or she eschews pork or alcohol or wears a hijab. That’s silly.

Perhaps. But unless there’s proof that there isn’t a prime mover, I cannot discount the possibility that there is one.

Religious people aren’t nuts.

Correction- the song is called El UFO Cayo (the UFO fell/landed). I believe the album is called Chavez Ravine.

Ry Cooder wrote a song called “Chavez Ravine,” kind of a wonderfully eerie and metaphorical historical meditation on what happened.

I have to say....so many of Trump’s surrogates and appointees look flat-out physically demented. It’s a bit uncanny, actually.

Do you buy a big roll or a small roll when shopping for tinfoil?
