I'm just a wee bit confused. You're glad your nieces/nephews don't have to choose or are pigeonholed racially but you describe your half black/half white sister as black. Isn't she biracial too?
It's turned into an EVENT like the Oscars, where the actual thing is slightly less important than all the things that go on around it, like planning big parties and gathering at the bar, etc. And I guess other people who aren't even football fans watch it because they don''t want to be left out of the Monday morning discussions on the commercials.

So much stupid and wrong in that name.

Most of the people want her to either go away or run for president so she can self-destruct on national television. Her being turned into some sort of weird martyr is the last thing they want.
You could say that about ANY country that undergoes a change in power. No, sorry, you might need to be a history major or at least someone who's read a history book to not automatically jump to the conclusion that the women in Egypt stand a good chance of wearing burkahs pretty soon.

@iamthelaw: We can use the same laws that apply to factories that illegally dump waste into the public streams and rivers. Same thing.
@jedel: Nor has she given an interview to someone other than a resident of the Fox/conservative/tea party media cocoon. This is why I am convinced she will never run for president. She'll have to take questions from people who are less than fawning. And she can't handle that.
@CincyCapell: I disagree. The season premier of Jersey Shore wins that award from me.

@JellyFox: Who said this will all lead to a more "liberal state", whatever that means? Where did I posit that this will lead to a more liberal state? That's YOUR conclusion/concern, not mine. That's just as "glib" as saying this will all go the way of the Islamic Revolution.
seriously, read up on Egypt, their political history, etc. before responding on this issue agbain. Even if you just study the most recent history, will fill in a lot of holes for you.

@perfectgrammer: That's comedy gold right there. Thanks for the laugh.
@JellyFox: The strongest opposition in Egypt are representative of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is an Islamic fundamentalist group.
Nope. Wrong. The overwhemlinng choice to replace Mubarak is Mohamed ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace laureate and one of the country's leading democracy advocates. He's hardly a favorite of the Muslim Brotherhood.
And you're making assumptions that hardcore Muslim rule is next for Egypt. If it came to that, of course, America would voice opposition to some of the more harsh laws. But not only is that unlikely given Egypt's past, but it's not even close to that.

@burbere002: Thumbs up and hearted.
@burbere002: Point taken. But I seriously doubt Palin understood this intricacy.
I understand that this cornerstone of our democracy is a free press, is sound journalism. I want to help them build back their reputation."
Good. Start by giving interviews outside of the Fox/conservative/Facebook/Twitter cocoon.

@JellyFox: What if it goes the way of the Iranian Revolution?
What if it does? It's their country and their decision.
And the "It's not like political opposition in Egypt are any more interested in freedom than Mubarak."? How do you reach this conclusion?
No, she doesn't make a good point.

@burbere002: I read this too. It's still a contradictory phrase. It's like saying I believe you but I don't believe you.
