Never know when to trust to Wiki, but when is anything every as simple as it seems:
"Stepin Fetchit (May 30, 1902 – November 19, 1985) was the stage name of American comedian and film actor Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry....
Perry's typical film persona and stage name have long been controversial, and seen as synonymous with negative stereotypes of African-Americans. However, a newer interpretation of his film persona contends Perry was ultimately subversive of the status quo....
Perry reportedly converted to Islam in the 1960s and became a friend of heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali...." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepin_Fetchit
If Perry had lived a little longer he might have heard some NWA, or met Flavor Flav.
Likewise, I can't imagine a Saudi Prince being so concerned with the fate of American Muslims, not to invest in a right wing propaganda organ like Fox. Besides, Lockheed Martin buys a lot ads on Fox.
don nash,
remember as well, I believe one of Obama's first foreign policy actions, was ordering the execution of those adolescent Somalia pirates. All of the DNC lovers were applauding that "successful" and "decisive" action.
"If you are not upset by this, your tea is weak, man. Weak."
I was, of course, referring to the sinking of the U.S.S. Liberty:
The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter planes and motor torpedo boats, on June 8, 1967, during the Six-Day War. The combined air and sea attack killed 34 crew members (naval officers, seamen, two Marines, and a civilian), wounded 171 crew members, and severely damaged the ship. At the time, the ship was in international waters north of the Sinai Peninsula, about 25.5 nmi (29.3 mi; 47.2 km) northwest from the Egyptian city of Arish.[1]

Reading a Guardian article this evening about the supposed ill health of Mubarak and naturally wondering about his successor.

Here's the kicker: "....and it remains the only major maritime incident in U.S. history not investigated by the U.S. Congress.[3]

At least, 911, was sort of investigated by Congress.
Thanks, for all your work, Professor Cole.
