Yavuz Erdogan is the human embodiment of the American Dream: a Turkish immigrant who became a U.S. citizen, he owns his own business in Levittown, the archetypal American suburb. On election night, an ex-cop beat him with an American flag.
Spotted at a Phoenix airport: A t-shirt that reads, "CAUTION STAY 100 METERS AWAY OR YOU WILL BE SHOT," in English and in Arabic. (At least, that's what the tipster thinks it says in Arabic.) A close-up is below. Updated.
A new Islamic center is being built in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and this has scared a lot of white people, who think it will become a terrorist training camp. So, naturally, someone doused the construction equipment with gasoline and torched it.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy apparently doesn't like Gypsies.
The Muslim American Society yesterday was rejected in its bid to buy a Roman Catholic Church on Staten Island by the church's board of trustees, of which Archbishop Timothy Dolan is a member. Neighbors feared the mosque would breed terrorists.
Jolly old Newt Gingrich decided it's time to join the fracas over the proposed mosque two blocks away from Ground Zero by issuing a NEWT DIRECT alert on his website: America is facing an "Islamist cultural-political offensive"!
A new study indicates that foreign accents make statements seem "less truthful," possibly because accents make speakers more difficult to understand (strong accents seem even less credible). This is why no one trusts Heidi Klum. [Science Daily via]
Some residents of Riverside County, California are up in arms about a proposed new mosque that they fear will ruin the view of tract homes and freeways, while breeding "Islamic extremists" and offering a safe haven to terrorist "sleeper cells."
The Way We Live Now: Like newborn nationalists. Forsake the trap of globalization, quick! Trust not in the shifty promises of the inscrutable Chinee, nor in the Indian, nor in the deceptively stout German. USA, we keep our profits here!
Sarah Palin dropped by Phoenix on Saturday to visit Arizona's brave new experiment in arresting Latinos. And guess what: She loved it! And if you hate it? Well, you only have your favorite black president to blame!
The Immigration Law Reform Institute (ILRI) helped draft SB-1070 — the draconian law that means police must stop anyone brown-looking and demand their papers. ILRI is the legal arm of a racist hate group. And it's not stopping at Arizona.
Hey! Arizona still has good citizens left. Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik declared his refusal to comply with his state's ugly, xenophobic new law, calling it "humiliating" and "racist." Way to go, Dupnik! Too bad you will probably get sued.
Here in America, it's a well-known fact that grad school is just a last resort to wait out the recession while getting into crippling debt. Unaware of this, our enemies are trying to get themselves into these thoroughly useless institutions.
You know why people all around the world love America so much? They envy us because we don't give a shit. We don't care about their religions, their culture, their food, or their stupid 500-year-old fountains. USA! USA!

Matt Drudge reports exclusively this morning that President Barack Obama has been employing an African witch-doctor technique known as the "evil eye" in order to impose socialism on hard-working white Americans.
Conservatives are angry at Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor because she pronounces her name with an emphasis on the last syllable—"SotomayOR"—like a foreigner, which she may as well be because she won't talk Americun. A National Review writer, not a Fox Nation commenter, is advancing this argument.
Absolut ran an ad in Mexico showing the pre-1848 map of that country with the tagline, "In An Absolut World." The ad agency explained to the LA Times, unnecessarily, that "The campaign taps into the national pride of Mexicans." Now I see! Well, true patriots in this country aren't about to stand for some Mexicans…
