Oh, America, you must've left the melting pot on high this time...

Note: The facts in this post are all true.

I have a student in my community college class whose last name is Muhammad. She is African American. She is also Jewish. She is rather devout and asked to be excused from class for all the Jewish holidays this semester. She is also a Republican. I know this because she sports McCain/Palin gear on her backpack and sometimes in her wardrobe. Also, on her "get to know you" sheet I gave out on the first day of class, I asked my students what music they listen to in their cars/on their iPods, etc. Her answer: "I only listen to Bible verses on tape in my car."

So, in conclusion...

I know a black, Jewish, republican, woman, with the last name Muhammad who listens to Bible verses in her car like an evangelical Christian.

Fascinating.
