Naadia and I ventured off to Motown City to attend the Final Four last week. Sure, it cost us an arm and a leg for tickets. Sure, we were in virtual nosebleed territory despite sacrificing aforementioned arm and leg because of the shitty seating system at Ford Field. Sure, half of the crowd cleared out 1/4 of the way through the Villanova-NC Final Four game. And sure, we were surrounded by a literal sea of Spartan forest green. And no problem, that we were late to both games due to technical difficulties beyond our control. And, sure we got lost both days because I-75 S to Toledo was closed and we had to take a scary detour for almost 30 miles before we got on the right track. And finally, no problem that when NC won rather anti-climactically in the final game Monday night, the Michigan State fans cleared out like someone had yelled "fire" in a crowded theater, and no matter that there were about 200 people left to celebrate the glorious Tarheel victory. And also no big deal that the next day during surgery lecture I was so tired that I hallucinated that the professor was talking about going to Costco to buy normal saline when in fact, he was talking about cholecystectomies. In the end, despite all of these factors and the subzero Detroit tempeartures in APRI

L (April is the cruelest month when you live in the Siberain terrain of the mid-West), it was still worth it to see Tyler Hansborough and friends single-handedly crush the dreams of an entire city on its last legs as it is mired in an economic depression and soaring unemployment rates. It was still nice to see Goliath take home the glory for my home state of North Carolina. Because even though we always love an underdog to come home with the prize - a la Ralph Macchio at the end of The Karate Kid - it so rarely happens in real life. Because hell, Goliath is an unstoppable machine with at least 6 future NBA players. Eat it, Detroit.--By Mariam, who thinks that she should have gotten AP credit for the surgery rotation since it literally has taken the life force out of her.

How comes your detour was scary?!
This is regarding your post on the Society for the Defeat of Islam blog.
So are you a Mohamadan or just one of their useful idiots? Based on your name and complimentary closing, I will assume that you are the former. In that case, I send my condolences to you.
Either way, it is ironic that you attempt to link my organization to Nazis. You know the Nazis, the savages that recruited Bosnian Mohamadans into the SS to exterminate Jews and hosted the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem in Berlin for years. Islam and Nazism both share several traits: totalitarianism, violent repressive of competing ideologies and religions plus rabid anti-Jewish sentiments.
YOU need to look the events of Kristellnacht. Kristellnacht was an orgy of anti-Jewish vandalism. This website does not advocate violence toward Mohamadan business. If you want a parallel to Kristellnacht, look into the regularly occurring bombings of synagogues and desecrations of Jewish graves in Europe committed by Mohamadans.
Nice try, though. Thanks for playing. As a consolation prize, enjoy a complimentary compilation of the Danish Mohamad cartoons and a free year's supply of pork rinds on their way to your tent in Toledo.
"huh?" to the last comment
Sarah, I got in a fight with a blogger who was a total racist. He fought back by commenting on blog.
