My sister & I, born 1953 & 1955, respectively, prove that at least #5 in the first list is accurate. Does that make me a middle of the road'er?

If Obama actually wins as president, you might get a TAX break if your name is Muhammad! Really! (might help on the Affirmative Action application also...) I might change my name... (it's too white!)
