Remember the 1970’s hit “American Woman” by The Guess Who?
For many Muslim men seeking instant asylum in America, they’re not exactly singing, “American woman, stay away from me.”
In fact, it’s the exact opposite. They’re online preying on your daughters, sisters, and nieces.
The story of , the Michigan teen who fled to the Middle East to , is chilling. The man, Abdullah Jimzawi, who called himself “Abdullah Psycho,” said that several Muslim men from his town–a terrorist stronghold near Jericho in the West Bank of Israel–had met and married American women through this method.
And emigrated to the United States to get their Green Cards.

In Lester’s case, after FBI agents convinced her to return to the U.S., she went online and posted to Jimzawi’s MySpace page, calling him her husband and stating her intentions to return. Her parents were forced to go to court, this week, .
But Lester isn’t the only one. In fact, there are websites for the specific purpose of Muslim men from terror-host nations meeting and marrying American women. And moving here for the holy Green Card grail.
One site, Visa Journey, has a whole list of American women describing the process of bringing their new “husbands” back to the U.S. and getting their I-130 forms (for marriage to a foreigner) adjusted. For many, they’ve met the man once on a trip and the marriage is set into motion.
Not surprisingly, many of these women are on the more zaftig side–difficult to attract American men’s attention, but desirable in the Arab Mid-East. These vulnerable women, desperate for attention, are extremely gullible and easily agreeable to a quickie marriage. They are just some of those born to P.T. Barnum’s predicted birthrate of suckers.

Sucker: “Dollface41601” w/ New Palestinian Husband Sofyan
Take Kelly, who identifies herself on Visa Journey, as “Dollface41601.” She married a Jordanian Palestinian named Sofyan. Here’s the history she writes about her marriage:

In Jordan with my love, filing DCF
September 28th – i-130 interview success APPROVED
October 2nd – Medical in Amman
January 31st – Embassy called to schedule interview
March 21st – 8am Final interview
INTERVIEW SUCCESS
March 25th 2006 – 11:30am….getting on a plane and going home after a long long wait!!!!!!!!!!
April 6th – Welcome to America letter receieved
April 10 – Green Card arrives in Mail!
April 13th – Social Security Card arrives and Sofyan starts his new job !!!!
April 17th – Sofyan tested for his drivers permit and passed…watch out all, hes on the road now!

Is this the description of a loving marriage–or a background sheet on a suspect? Hard to tell. Now that the man has his Green Card and Social Security number–and is soon to get his driver’s license–it’s also hard to tell how much longer the marriage to Dollface41601 will last.
Give it a couple of years, just to make things look kosher (or is that halal?).

Crazy in Love or Just Crazy?:
Morocco’s Hicham & His Foolish American Bride
One woman calls herself “CRAZY in Love.” Giver her credit for admitting the “CRAZY” part. She met Moroccan Hicham online in July 2004, and just a few months later they were engaged, and she was applying to bring him to the States:

We first met when Hicham instant messaged me one night while I was online. He said he saw my pic and thought I looked calm and smart. That was July 13, 2004:
So…I bought my plane ticket for winter break then. I flew to Morocco and landed on Christmas day (my 30th birthday). What a gift! I loved his country and fell even deeper in love with him. And… we officially became engaged and decided to pursue the K-1 visa.
06/29/05 – Visa in hand! FINALLY!
07/07/05 – Hicham comes home to the USA!

[DS: “Home”? Not exactly.]

08/19/05 – Hicham goes for state ID
09/12/05 – Hicham gets state ID in mail

Gullible, Inc.: Detroiter Jamie w/Algerian Yacine
Then, there is Jamie, a Detroit area woman who is trying to bring her Algerian online “suitor,” Yacine, back to the States. Her story doesn’t include much time between when she first met him and applied to bring him to the U.S.:

8.10.05 – Spoke with Yacine for the first time
12.25.05 – Met Yacine for 1st time in Tunis then Algiers

There are thousands of these women. The problem is not just that these American daughters are so desperate for a man’s attention that they are willing to jeopardize our nation’s security for it. It’s that federal authorities aren’t doing much to prosecute Islamic sham marriages. The Washington Times reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has decided not to investigate most of them. Stopping marriage fraud is not on ICE’s agenda.
That’s why a man like walks free and has U.S. Senator Carl Levin pressuring the government to grant him citizenship. Alami presents himself as a loving American immigrant doting on his young baby and wife. His THIRD wife. the Muslim Palestinian engaged in Social Security fraud and demanded she stay married to him in order to get his green card.
Most disturbing is that Americans aren’t very bothered by the IslamoCyberStalking that leads to sham marriages and heightens the illegal alien invasion of our country.
Katherine Lester, the teen girl who fled to the Mid-East to marry her Islamic suitor and bring him to the U.S., is cheered on by hundreds of American teens and adults who posted comments on her suitor’s MySpace page. They are almost universally in defense of Abdullah Psycho’s manipulation of the girl and his secret ruse to bring the minor to the Mid-East for Islamic conversion, marriage, and, ultimately, a green card.
One commenter writes to Abdullah Psycho:

A lot of the news media, and especially some of the other bloggers (, etc.) have been really hard on you over the past week, and I don’t think it’s justified.
If you were from Canada or Europe or somewhere like that, this would not have been such a big deal.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a big deal there. That’s why there are now 17 Canadian Muslims charged with planning terror attacks on the country.
Another, a woman, calls Lester and Abdullah Psycho, “Romeo and Juliet.”
More like Jabba the Hutt and Princess Leia with a leash around her neck. But in this case it’s not a Hollywood movie that’s at issue.
It’s America’s national security.

Looks like a/k/a “Abu Moskowitz,” Michigan and Ohio Special Agent in Charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has learned well from his incompetent boss, ICE chieftess a/k/a “The ICE Princess.”
After hard-working Ohio cops arrested illegal aliens, his office forced the cops to release them, just like Myers did with illegals in Texas (and probably many other places).
Steubenville, Ohio’s WTOV (Channel 9) reports the following (watch the video, too):

Belmont County Sheriff Fred Thompson said his officers were instructed by federal immigration services to let all 20 illegal immigrants go free, and said his department has no choice but to follow the orders from immigration officials.

Impotent Immigration Law Enforcement: ICE’s Abu Moskowitz

Thompson said officers stopped a van at 3 a.m. Tuesday which was traveling the wrong direction on Interstate 470 in St. Clairsville.
The officer discovered 20 illegal Mexican immigrants inside the van, including three who were previously deported. The officer immediately contacted immigration officials, who told him to let all 20 immigrants go.

Well, guess who is the top federal “immigration official” in Ohio? Why, that would be Abu Moskowitz.
Either he ordered the aliens’ release or one of his people did. Hate to quote Michael Dukakis, but the fish does, indeed, rot from the head down.
In this case, the head is Brian Moskowitz. And our whole nation is rotting from the alien invasion he’s aiding and abetting. Guess he didn’t get his other boss, ICE Director of Investigations a/k/a “Peppermint Patty’s” .
Moskowitz’s spokesman, , says he’s “looking into it.” Uh-huh. In the past, he told me he wouldn’t allow me to interview Moskowitz because it “.” No kidding.
Unfortunately, releasing illegal aliens–and any other forms of malfeasance–hasn’t seemed to hurt his career. For now.
And someone ought to tell WTOV reporter Natalie Pasquarella that maybe the reason no-one at the INS returned her calls is because THERE IS NO INS, anymore. Hello?
Also, it’s kinda hard listening to criticism of ICE from Congressman Bob Ney, whose about to be indicted for selling out America to Jack Abramoff’s clients.
The right words from the wrong person.

While most NFL Players–and most pro athletes in general–are prima donnas, receiver David Kircus isn’t.
He was cut by the Detroit Lions and picked up by the Denver Broncos. But before the Broncos signed him, he worked another job between NFL jobs . . . as a Subway restaurant employee. In the good old days before NFL players became gazillionaire rock stars, players had to work at these jobs in the offseason in order to live.
Kircus talks about his recent Subway experience in an interview televised on the Denver Broncos website. The Detroit Free Press quoted some excerpts:

NFL Receiver David Kircus Works @ Subway

“A lot of guys, they’ll just work out and wait it out, but there’s a lot of sitting-around time,” he told the Broncos’ Web site. “I don’t like to sit around … I got a job. I went and worked at Subway.
“I did it in high school, too, so I had a little experience — not that I needed much. They paid me pretty well to do it, it was fun. It was free food.”

Forget Jared and Jon Lovitz. Put David Kircus in Subway ads.
***
On another note, one point of contention with Subway:
There are many Subways in Muslim nations and throughout Arabia (no bacon or ham; halal meat only)–including 22 in Saudi Arabia, 11 in war-torn Iraq, and 28 in tiny terror-funding United Arab Emirates–but not a single Subway franchise in Israel. Why?
We hope the chain is not complying with the Arab Boycott of Israel.
Maybe, like Starbucks (which closed up shop in Israel at the height of bombings), they don’t want patrons to be blown to bits, by Muslim homicide bombers (like they are at other franchises–Sbarro’s).
So much for punishing perpetrators (Muslims) and redressing victims (Israelis).

“Big Brother” is one of the most inane, ennui-inducing programs on television. But, tonight, there might be some excitement. Very disturbing excitement.
The show, hosted by the excessively glib Julie Chen, is announcing candidates for its 7th season “All-Star” show (they let the two viewers of the show vote on them). Will CBS have the guts and decency not to include “Will Mega,” a racist, anti-Semitic Black supremacist out of the voting?
Don’t bet on it. In 2000, the network favored ratings over doing the right thing and picked him for the viewers they thought his racist rantings would attract. If he’s included again, this time, it’s even more of an outrage. This time, CBS can’t pretend they didn’t know of his job as the late Khalid Abdul Muhammad’s National Field Director and role in a violent riot against cops (16 police were injured) at the Million Youth March.

CBS Reality Star/Racist Will Mega & Mentor Khalid Muhammad
And since racist William most recently worked as an aide for losing Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alan Sandals (more here)–who lost to Bobby Casey for the chance to beat Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum–he’s looking for something to do with his time.
As I wrote in The Jerusalem Post, he

called whites and Jews “evil and unrighteous,” and the enemy.

More disturbing is an excerpt from in 2000, when this silly show began on the Rather Not Network:

Cast member William is a Philadelphia youth counselor who helps kids. That’s what CBS wants you and his housemates to think. In reality, William Collins a/k/a Hiram Ashantee, according to the New York Daily News, is a racist hatemonger and top aide to former Louis Farrakhan sidekick Khalid Abdul Muhammad.
You know–the same Khalid Muhammad, who calls Jews “bloodsuckers,” and Whites and the Pope “crackers” and “devils.” Yup, the same Muhammad who with William a/k/a Ashantee standing by his side, urged the crowd to attack police and grab their guns at the Sept. 5, 1998, Million Youth March in Harlem. William a/k/a Ashantee–one of Muhammad’s top organizers–stood by as 16 cops were injured. Nice pick, CBS. Thanks for giving a racist bigot an unfettered forum for his evil views.
And thanks for lying. CBS doesn’t indicate “William’s” real identity or activities anywhere–i.e., that he’s a member of the “New Black Panther Party.” Interesting, since he’s basically told the show’s White people they’re racists. Look who’s talking. (He also asked Eddie, who lost his leg to cancer, “Does having one leg help you get women?”) . . . .
Casting Director Brad Bishop tells the BB website that “we certainly wouldn’t select anyone who supported hateful or discriminatory rhetoric. The people to be chosen are average.” A Black Supremacist is “average?” In one news photo, “William” appears with Muhammad under a banner that says “Let’s Separate [from Whites].” CBS should give him that opportunity now, but won’t.
Now that the show is starting to rally in the ratings because of William’s provocations with everyone, CBS wouldn’t possibly sacrifice the almighty ratings to erase hate and bigotry. Hypocritical CBS–whose vigorous background check surely informed them of William’s “affiliation”–says it “feels very comfortable” with racist, anti-Semitic William and supports “diversity” and his right to “think and speak freely.” Incredible! So, why isn’t there also an undisclosed White Supremacist clowning around on the show in the guise of a nice suburban guy? Just to make things fair.

Since then, as I wrote in the Jerusalem Post column, William

was an unsuccessful November 2003 candidate for the Philadelphia City Council. He announced his candidacy at the 2003 Philadelphia Hip-Hop Summit (hosted by [billionaire Hip Hop mogul and Farrakhan apologist Russell] Simmons) and is the Philadelphia delegate to the National Hip-Hop Political Action Committee.

And William is very proud of his racist, anti-Semitic past with Muhammad. Here’s a portion of his bio from a militant (ie., racist) Black speaker’s bureau:

Mega led a special missions force of armed Black Nationalists, revolutionaries . . . .
Following this effort, Mega joined the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. Within the party Mega mobilized thousands of black youth to participate in the Million Youth March in Harlem, New York. Mega’s initiative and exhibition of true leadership facilitated his rapid rise through the ranks of the party to the position of Philadelphia Chapter Chairman. During Mega’s tour of duty as chairman, the Philadelphia chapter grew in membership tremendously and was considered the East Coast Regional Headquarters. In 1999, Mega was promoted to the position of National Field Marshal. Under the auspices of this position, he began traveling throughout the country teaching the ten-point program in a diverse array of venues – from street corners to college campuses.

Tell CBS to keep this racist off the air.

Rodney Dangerfield is back from the grave.
In the late ’70s, America was the globe’s Dangerfield. Like the late comedian, we got no respect.
Well, Rodney Dangerfield America is back. From a hemorrhaging alien problem to bizarre foreign leader loons with nukes, the world is laughing at our impotence, once again.
In the days of Jimmy Carter–whether it was the United Nations, the Middle East, or any other forum–the United States’ most prominent, constant fashion accessory was the “Kick Me” sign on its back. And like most bad fashion trends, that one is making a rude comeback.

No Respect: Is America “Rodney Dangerfield Nation”?
In the 1980s, the Reagan Revolution put an end to the world’s snickering. But for a few missteps–like Ronald Reagan pulling out of Beirut shortly after the Hezbollah massacre of hundreds of U.S. Marines and allowing Lebanon to become a Hezbollah stronghold to this day–America regained the respect that Jimmy Carter threw away.
Unfortunately, President Bush is taking far too many cues from the Peanut Farmer President. And precious few from the Great Communicator.
In the ’70s, Carter helped usher out America’s most important ally in the Middle East, the Shah of Iran. The Shah was a tyrannical dictator who denied the human rights of his opponents, was the conventional wisdom of State Department types. But the Shah was a benevolent, pro-U.S. dictator in a strategically important nation.
And in the Shah’s vacuum, “democracy” broke out and Iran got a great democratic humanitarian? Nope. The country got a series of Islamofascist dictators each outdoing the other in crushing human rights and dissent with beatings and torture.
The Khomeini government that followed the Shah was met with a series of tough talk from Jimmy Carter. But tough talk didn’t change the Khomeini government. It didn’t get American hostages released during 444 days in captivity.
And tough talk won’t get Iran to give up its nuclear weapons program, today. The world is laughing at us. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice convinced President Bush to engage in a policy that’s hardly threatening: Oh, yeah. Well, if you don’t give up your nuclear weapons voluntarily, we’re gonna, we’re gonna, we’re gonna . . . ?!
No wonder Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is shown laughing and smiling in recent photos. Talk like this didn’t stop Hitler and it won’t stop his modern day version. Action will. Action is what Iran–what the Islamic world that hates us–understands and respects.
But we don’t have the will.
Then, there is North Korea. Competing with Ahmadinejad in the over-Viagra-ed department, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il is test-launching long-range Taepodong-2 missiles capable of reaching the U.S.
So what do we do in response? Secretary Rice warns that the testing of such missiles would be a “provocative act.” Wrong. A Paris Hilton video is a “provocative act.” This is frightening–an act of war, infinitely more serious. Calling it a “provocative act” is not exactly boot-quake inspiring verbiage. It won’t do a thing. It certainly won’t stop North Korea from pursuing its missile practice.
We must shoot their missiles down to show them we mean business. There is no other way.
Ronald Reagan had it right. Peace through strength. Not through pillow talk. The world respected his tough behavior. The world laughs at our current wimpishness.
It’s not just the President and his minions. It’s local leaders, too, who properly elicit plenty of disdain from the world.
Take Minneapolis Mayor R. T. Rybak. The R. T. must stand for “Real Traitor.” You’ve heard of Hanoi Jane. These days, she’s got strong competition from Minneapolis Rybak.
While tens of that the Bush Administration won’t, Rybak is on the side of alien invaders.
He’s ordered Minneapolis police NOT to get involved in cracking down on people in the country illegally.
“Vulnerable people have always needed to see the police as being there to protect and serve, and that can’t happen when the first words out of a cop’s mouth are ‘I need to see your papers,'” Rybak told USA Today.
Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, headed by Special Agent Robert Hines, have trained local police from around the country in how to identify, process and detain illegal aliens. But Rybak not only won’t help ICE or allow his police to participate, last month he demanded that Minneapolis-based ICE agents stop identifying themselves as “police” and asked them to stop wearing vests and jackets with the word.
Unfortunately, Rybak has a lot of company. USA Today reports that Chicago prohibits its police and city workers from asking immigrants their legal status and New York City’s public hospitals promised to keep secret an immigrant’s legal status. Blame Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who–like Rybak–is an opponent of enforcing immigration laws, for that.
While 57 big-city police chiefs in the Major Cities Chiefs Association came out against enforcing immigration laws, our troops in Iraq have a large contingent in Al-Qaim at the Syrian border. They know that insurgents, alien invaders from other countries will slip through, if they’re not there–and throughout Iraq–demanding to see papers. It’s what police all over America should be doing, but won’t.
The world laughs. Thousands of miles away from American terra firma, our troops are tough and brave.
But over here, our politicians and policy makers from top to bottom, national to local, aren’t any of these things.
They speak loudly and carry a toothpick.

Bravo to Tuscola County, Michigan Family Court Judge W. Wallace Kent Jr., who will likely declare Katherine Lester a “runaway,” and has already ordered her to turn over her passport and placed her under court supervision.
This is what it’s coming to for Americans who want to protect their daughters from IslamoCyberStalkers.
As , the parents of Lester, a Michigan teen Girl preyed upon by a Muslim Palestinian on MySpace, were forced to turn to the courts to keep their daughter from going back to the Palestinian terrorist-infested West Bank to convert to Islam and marry the man.
Our tipster at the central Michigan radio station, at which Katherine Lester was an intern, told us the girl was intent on going back. And , the girl was intent on converting to Islam, wearing a hijab, and living as the man’s wife.

MySpace Palestinian IslamoCyberStalker
Abdullah Jimzawi a/k/a Abdullah Psycho
And here’s more:

Six framed posters of Quranic verses and Islamic prayers adorned the walls [of Jimzawi’s bedroom], including one depicting the 99 names of God.
Jimzawi, the second of five children, said he explained to Lester that she should convert to Islam to marry him.
“She said, ‘No problem because I love you and I love your religion,”‘ he said.

In the latest press reports, the man, Abdullah Jimzawi a/k/a Abdullah Jinzawi a/k/a “Abdullah Psycho” (his MySpace pseudonym) says he will try to get a visa to come to the U.S. and marry her, if she is prevented from returning to the Mid-East.
In previous interviews, Abdullah Psycho Jimzawi said that several other Muslim Palestinians from his town met American female teens whom they converted to Islam, married, and then moved to the U.S. with. Splendid.
Where the HECK is CIS (Citizenship and Immigration Services)? Oh yeah, the CIS people are busy stamping the applications for and giving the green light for green cards to thousands of undesirables like Abdullah Psycho. And getting ready for more “Guest Workers” like him to do the jobs Americans won’t do (like IslamoCyberStalker?).

Talk about defining deviancy down. The irresponsible parents of “Nicole” are intent on raising their own little RuPaul.
The five-year-old boy is the youngest known transvestite and is encouraged to pursue his preference for living as a girl . . . in KINDERGARTEN!!!:

A 5-year-old boy in Broward County, Fla., preparing to enter kindergarten, is believed by gender-identity experts to be the youngest kid in the country whose family supports his decision to live completely as the other sex (according to a May profile in New Times Broward-Palm Beach). The parents doubt that the unnamed now-girl (dubbed “Nicole Anderson” in the article) is “just going through a phase,” because of “her” early, constant, and insistent female preferences and comments, e.g., “I want the fairy princess to come and make my penis into a vagina.”

Incompetent Parents Eagerly Encouraging Son to Become
RuPaul (or )
“Nicole” and his mother Lauren Anderson have a whole plan to trick other Broward county kids into thinking he’s really a she. And hey, they even created a new sex: not male, not female, but “intersexed.” Funny, it’s not in my dictionary. Not surprising, “Nicole’s” 10-year-old sister is suffering.
The whole disturbing–and true–story is here, in the New Times Broward-Palm Beach.
Here are some of the most disturbing parts:

Nicole’s face is framed with delicate brown braids, and her fingernails are painted a rainbow of colors. She plans to go swimming with a friend at the community pool, but at the moment, she doesn’t like the way her dress feels. She yanks the hot-pink halter-top over her head, telling her mother, “This is poking me. I want to change my dress.”
Minutes later, she scampers back, now as naked as a jaybird except for her underwear. Without the dress, you can clearly see her penis, tucked carefully into her pink patterned panties. . . .
When her mother asks her if she’s happy with the way she looks, she says no.
“What would you change about yourself?”
“Mm… my penis,” Nicole murmurs.
“What would you do with it?” her mother asks.
“Um… cut it,” Nicole replies, very softly.
“And what would you do with it then?” asks a surprised Lauren, who later says she’s never before heard Nicole express dislike for her penis.
“I would hammer it,” Nicole says.
“What?” Lauren says.
“Hammer it,” Nicole insists more strongly. . . .
At first, I thought it was cute,” she explains. “I don’t have a problem putting nail polish on a little boy. I don’t have a problem if my son plays with dolls. His older brothers went through a similar period of doll playing and asking for nail polish on their toes. There’s no reason to say no to a phase. I never once said ‘no.’ A phase is a phase.”
So baby Nicholas was allowed to wear high heels. To play with Little Mermaid and Barbie dolls. To grow his hair a little longer. . . .

Nicholas “Nicole” Anderson Learning to Be “Intersexed” w/Idiotic Mom Lauren
Lauren was sitting at her computer working when 2-year-old Nicholas, who, like all the Anderson children, had a frank understanding of anatomy, came to her with a request: “I want the fairy princess to come and make my penis into a vagina,” he said. . . .
The Andersons called Marcia Schultz, a psychologist in Coral Springs. One session with Nicholas, who was then 3, convinced Schultz that he had a form of GID.
“Nicholas is a transsexual who wants to be a woman,” Schultz says. . . .
Today, Nicole gets to be all girl at home and is supposed to be “neutral” in public at her preschool, where many of her friends, all girls, call her “she.” . . .
Even among transsexuals, not everyone thinks being raised as a girl will be good for Nicole. At one meeting of a transgender support group, Lauren encountered criticism from a female-to-male adult transsexual who thought Lauren’s permissiveness was harming the child.
“He told me, ‘I’m the man I am today because I suffered as a child,'” she says. . . .
Nicole will have no need for medical intervention for years – until puberty will begin to ruin her girlish figure. But eventually, she may consider taking hormone blockers to prevent masculinization and then eventually begin to take feminizing hormones. . . .
Logistically, the Andersons believe, having Nicole attend school as a girl shouldn’t be difficult. Most of the classrooms at the school have attached single-stall bathrooms. With the cooperation of teachers, other children would never have to know.
Marilyn Volker, a Miami sexologist, says other transsexual children have successfully navigated Florida schools, often with the discreet help of teachers. “Sometimes only individual teachers know about it,” she says. “Often, the teacher deals with it.” . . .
With registration for fall’s kindergarten classes already beginning, the Andersons are still in the dark about the school’s plans, making the task of listing Nicole’s gender on the registration forms difficult. “I’m not going to put male or female. I’m going to put down ‘I,'” Lauren says, which she means to stand for intersexed. . . .
Oblivious to the fight swirling around her as only a 5-year-old can be, Nicole is headstrong and boisterous, with a room full of Barbie dolls and a fondness for singing showtunes to visitors. . . .
Nicole’s 10-year-old sister, Angela, explains that for a while, having her younger brother turn into a younger sister was difficult.
“When I was younger, I thought that it was just a stage,” she says. But now the most annoying part is that Nicole steals Angela’s clothes. “But I guess that’s what having a sister is like, because I’ve never had a sister.”
As for Nicole’s interactions with the outside world, Angela is used to answering questions.
“It’s kind of strange,” she says, “because my friends always call it a he, and I’m like, ‘No, it’s a she,’ and it’s kind of hard. Everyone always goes up to me and goes, ‘That’s a boy, right?’ and I go, ‘No, it’s my sister,’ and they go, ‘Oh. ‘”

Deviant Nation. One of the things that’s NOT great about America.

Be happy your kids don’t go to Fayerweather Street School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. For Kindergarten through 8th grade, it’s your worst nightmare.
From the “School News” section of the Cambridge Chronicle, about the only thing this school is missing is hot tofu and edamame school lunches, lacto-ovo desserts, and self-pedal school buses (ie., bikes):

Fayerweather celebrates Pride
Fayerweather Street School’s annual Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered Pride Day began with a spirited parade of home-made floats, complete with costumed marchers tossing beads, trinkets and rainbow flags to the audience.
Tossing Mardi Gras beads is a tradition at the Fayerweather parade. But this year, after learning about unfair labor practices in the bead factories in China, the children did the stringing themselves – more than 300 bracelets.

Fayerweather: Official School of Liberal Thumbsuckers
Following the opening parade, students, faculty and parents applauded the kindergarten performance of a play about two daddy penguins that want to have a family. Several classrooms presented reflections on gender, dignity and pride in verse and song.
Featured guest speaker at the morning assembly was State Sen. Jarrett Barrios, D-Cambridge. Barrios, who has two adopted sons, spoke about some of the challenges he and his partner face as a two-dad family.
More about the school’s anti-bias curriculum can be found at fayerweather.org.

We wonder if long-term studies have been done on how many psychotics, bizarros, and masochists this school has produced. We’d bet there’s a high correlation.
And don’t even think about dating a Fayerweather grad. Something about even fairweather friends being better than Fayerweather friends. No doubt.

Take that, Dixie Chicks. Finally, a prominent entertainment star proudly promotes PATRIOTISM–in a big way. Instead of questioning and mocking it. And a major Hollywood studio backs it up, reminiscent of the ancient days when Hollywood was solidly behind our brave men and women in uniform fighting the enemy.
On Sunday, new Superman star, Brandon Routh, hosted a special Father’s Day screening of “Superman Returns” for soldiers at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station. He called America’s servicemen and women, “America’s true Super Heroes,” and announced details of Operation Super Hero, which pays tribute to America’s servicemen and women serving both here and abroad.

Operation Super Hero, which has the backing of Warner Bros. Pictures, involves the sending of over a million postcards with messages of support to American troops worldwide, and free showings of “Superman Returns,” this weekend, to troops at 45 military bases nationwide. (Too bad they can’t send a few copies overseas, to show our brave men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan.) The movie debuts in theaters across America on June 28th.
Here’s more from the Warner Bros. Pictures press release announcing the details of their plan to support the troops in connection with “Superman Returns”:

Kicking off Operation Super Hero, more than one million postcards are already being made available to the public at the following nationwide movie theatre chains: Mann’s Theatres, UA Theatres, Regal Theatres, Edwards Theatres, Loeks Theatres and Rave Theatres. Postcards can also be obtained at some local retail outlets. People are encouraged to write messages of appreciation and support to our men and women in uniform, and can then drop the pre-paid postcards in any U.S. Postal Service mailbox. The postcards will be delivered to Warner Bros. Pictures, which is working with the U.S. Military to deliver the million-plus postcards as a special July 4 greeting.
A downloadable, non-pre-paid version of the Operation Super Hero postcard is also available on the Superman Returns website, although those choosing this option will need to add postage to mail it. Go to www.supermanreturns.com and click on the News section to find the postcard.

Memo to the Dixie Chicks: Patriotism sells. It’s a hot commodity. Because real Americans believe in it.
Three Cheers for Brandon Routh (and Warner Bros. Pictures) for promoting it. We think we’re gonna like this actor.
