"Niki and I have just finished our first road trip / speaking tour across the US. We started from the San Francisco Bay Area in California, then went through Las Vegas in Nevada, Albuquerque in New Mexico, Oklahoma City in Oklahoma, Columbia in Missouri, Louisville in Kentucky, then to Washington DC.
The US is really huge. I can’t believe that we managed to drive all of this distance with a uhaul trailer attached to our car. We drove for around 12 hours everyday, and talked about Iraq and Iran for a couple of hours in the night. During the driving hours, I had to repeat my t-shirt story for dozens of times every day to the many journalists and news stations that contacted me, and poor Niki had to listen to the same story over and over. I think ACLU should add another category for compensating her in the legal case we’re working on!"
Raed in the Middle
Who would have ever guessed that Raed and me would end up on the same side of an immigration issue! It's to bad though that we did not happen to be at the same rally, so I could have asked a few questions, about you know politics, and about statements to the effect of "saddam is my leader", and I am a loyal saddimite. I am sure all the immigrants present, having fled dictatorships themselves would be pleased to learn of Raed's views on the subject.
