progress

With all the crafts, seniors, and pedestrian woes, you may have begun to wonder if I didn't live in an overgrown 'burb rather then the metro area the People's Republic claims to be. I know I was. But here's the proof- political art plastered to buildings.
I like progress, I like Obama, and I like urban art. Print by Shepard Fairey.


climate: sunny, 15 degrees (-4F with wind chill)
shoes: shiny brown ballerina flats
ipod: too cold to wear earbud headphones

"His full name -- as by now you have probably heard -- is Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. Hussein is a Muslim name, which comes from the name of Ali's son -- Hussein Ibn Ali. And Obama is named after his late Kenyan father, the late Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. a Muslim.

And while Obama may not identify as a Muslim, that's not how the Arab and Muslim Streets see it. In Arab culture and under Islamic law, if your father is a Muslim, so are you. And once a Muslim, always a Muslim. You cannot go back. In Islamic eyes, Obama is certainly a Muslim. He may think he's a Christian, but they do not."

Interesting thoughts from someone other than me. If 78% of the world is non-christian, would you be adverse to electing one of them as president? And if the US is a melting-pot of diversity, then does it stand to reason that 78% of this country is non-christian as well?
