Osama Bin-Laden is a white man. Yes, I know he has a ruddy brown complexion and is darker than many black people, but according to none other than the United States Government, he is a white man.
We can even do a color test between Barack Obama and Bin-Laden to see who has darker pigmentation, but that doesn’t matter, it’s Bin-Laden who is classified as being melanin-challenged.
President Obama is a half-Black Man
Osama Bin Laden is a White Guy
How is this possible? How can Bin-Laden be a white man, you ask? He is from Saudi Arabia, which is in the Middle East, and what we consider the Middle East is really, for the most part in Western Asia. This makes him Asian and Arab and brown. Ah, but he is the wrong kind of Asian, and the wrong kind of brown, and since Arabs (like Indians and Pakistanis) are biologically Caucasian, he’s now a white guy.
But wait, our color-blind, let a man be judged by his character rather than the color of his skin government has a different idea. This is pulled directly off the United States Government Census website:
White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as “White” or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish.
Right, a Swedish-American has many of the same traits as, let’s say a Libyan.
Wait…that means Colonel Moammar Khadafy is also a white guy! Conan O’Brien, Bin-Laden and Khadafy – all white guys!
Conan O'Brien - Super White Guy
The more we classify and separate each other, the farther we grow apart. The more we mention race and ethnicity it doesn’t heal, it separates. I am refusing to answer the “Race” section on next year’s census. I am an American, I don’t need a hyphen.

Santa Clara County Election – Waste of Taxpayer Money
Thursday, October 15th, 2009I received my Sample Ballot for the upcoming November 3, 2009 election. I knew there was no presidential, gubernatorial or mayoral election this year, and I couldn’t think of anything else of importance I’d read about coming up on the ballot.
Salivating, I open up the booklet and there is was, the Official Ballot. Not bond measures, propositions, or County Supervisors up for election. Nope. It’s the Orchard School District Board Member election.
Santa Clara County Wasting Taxpayer Money Again
There are four names on the ballot that I can choose three from. That’s it.
The county paid just how much so I can vote for 3 board members for a school board that has a grand total of ONE school?
I need to buy reams of paper for my daughter’s classroom and send glue-sticks in her backpack, but they can spend thousands of dollars on an election that is borderline meaningless. Can they not have these office terms expire in years that “real” elections are held?
The City of Los Altos and Cupertino are also having similar elections, but Cupertino did it right, they also are letting their registered voters select the new Director for their Sanitary District.
I suppose I am the only one who thinks these elections are a waste of time and money, and since the voter turnout will likely be under 25%, we will have School Board members elected with 27 votes.
Maybe we can have a special election to eliminate needless elections. I’d vote for that.
