Ancestry.com, free immigration records for white people!

Just saw an advert saying Ancestry.com will feature this weekend free immigration records for white people.

They don't mention that last part, but fail to mention many black people immigrated to America in chains, stacked like cord wood in rank bowels of slave ships.

Once they got here, our great US Constitution counted them as 3/5 of a person.

Yay, America!

Insh' Allah.

Today, America and the rest of the industrialized world took an enormous step in advacing the cause of peace. An agreement with Iran to limit their nuclear program stands in the best interest of the entire world. While not perfect, no agreement would have left Iran unfettered to store up enough plutonium for some futre leader to use rashly, to the detriment oof millions of human beings.

Cue up the predictable ranting and raving among the American Dinosaurs. Idjuts. Me, I'm strapping on the headphones grooving the Dead and waiting for the evening news.

May you live in teresting times.\

Insh' Allah.
