The folks at Giants Stadium are so thoughtful. They're setting aside a special room so football-loving Muslims can go pray. The room was kindly set aside in response to the complaints of some Muslims whose prayers next to an air duct during a visit by the President of the United States were rudely interrupted by the FBI.
Don't tell me corporations don't have their finger on the pulse of America.

However,I would have thought us to be "the blog with a spleen."
A Happy THanksgiving to you. We are going away to eat things other people cook and not do any dishes. While it's wonderful, one does worry a bit that people have to work on holidays to provide for our luxurious distractions...I hope they get triple overtime.
