OK.

But he didn't just change his last name.

He changed his whole name including the one his parents gave him.

And he changed it to a one of them damned terrist sounding names.

He should have gone with something that sounded 'Murican.

Like Lew Kowalski.

He changed his name because he changed his religion, just like Cassius Clay.

Thanks John. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is so much more than a basketball player.

It sticks in my craw to hear someone hating on a guy like Kareem for preferring "the wrong" candidate. I suppose I oughta be used to that by now.

As far as I am concerned there are only two kinds of people in this world.

Those that feel the Bern, and those that don't.

While Bernie was at the Vatican your girl was at a $30,000 a ticket fundraiser in San Francisco. How did she get there? Did she ride on a fucking Donkey like Jesus?
