Fear not for the US

Mr. Pipes, you are at Stanford, in the SF Bay Area. Do you think for one millisecond of time that Shari'a law has a snowball's chance...at ever taking root in this town? Sarah Palin will become the Mayor first.

Then there's the very large portions of the nation that adores Palin for some unknown reason. Do you think they would ever elect a person like Mr. Ellison? Or follow him?

Finally, considering the sentiment in the U.S. right now, I would say Mr. Ellison is likely to get bounced from Congress this year. If Minnesota can produce a dunce like Bachman, it has to have someone who can knock off Ellison.
