Sumbul Ali-Karamali speaks out again about the nonsense of a campaign using Obama's middle name as a racist "smear." There is a Facebook group you can join to change your middle name on Facebook to Hussein and thereby protest this silliness. The idea that someone would not vote for a man because his middle name is Hussein is insane. What next? No one named Akinori? No one named Nigel? We are all Hussein and we are all Joe. The American ideal includes our Muslim patriots. Americans are Americans, even when they don't look like you do, or pray like you do. Read Sumbul's post...she is good medicine for the election-crazies.

And go, get on Facebook already. Use a nickname if you want more anonymity.

Still cramming Hebrew for ulpan tomorrow. Gave up our Matisyahu tickets in favor of studying, watching World Series and rest. Long week. We made a couple of Lori's students very happy today. Poor Ray babies. Please let them not get swept...
