She looks asian.

You look Arab. Nationalities can be tough to discern from pictures at times.

And you look gay. Sexuality can be tough to discern from posts at times.

Have you seen Seeb's picture?  He doesn't look at all Arab.  He looks sort of Slavic.

Habbaku

He looked pretty average-white-guy to me.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

No shit.  You're not civilized.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Certainly not who I would choose.

But I can't really see a good reason for the Republicans to vote against her.

It's part of a political strategy.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I would like to thank the Republicans for their firm effort to reach out to women and hispanic voters over the course of these hearings.

Damned if we do, damned if we don't.  Might as well speak our mind-- it's not like pandering to either group has ever helped much.
