So, doing the Halloween thing with my wife's family today, there was some slight political discussion. Nothing terribly offensive, until one person blurted out that while they didn't really like McCain, they just couldn't stomach voting for someone who has connections to terrorists. Ayers? No, not that. But his name. Hussein, who names their kid Hussein these days? I saw my wife struggle to keep a straight face while attempting to craft a response that didn't involve just flat out insulting the person.
