Didn't we learn anything from Sesame Street?

Don't you remember?

You know, you were 5 years old, watching Sesame Street and that familiar song would come on....

"One of these things is not like the others....one of these things just doesn't belong...."

It was supposed to teach us to look at several things and identify one thing that was different than all the other things surrounding it.


It seems that we (America) haven't learned our lessons from Big Bird yet.

Let's take a look at a few pictures.




I know it may be hard for some of you to single out what isn't alike. I'll give you a hint....SHE isn't in the top 3 rows and SHE isn't in the left four columns.....

Go ahead...take a minute.


Good. I am glad that you were able to locate which one of these people is 'not like the other'.


In case you have been under a rock for the past 9 years, the Muslim looking men in the photo above are the hijackers from the 9/11/01 flights. The middle aged white woman is just a picture I found on the internet to make my point. I hope I don't get in trouble for using her picture. I'm just trying to teach America how to identify the person that is 'not like the other'.

Why you might ask?


Let's think about a couple of the attempted terror attacks since 9/11/01.


We had the shoe bomber.....
And we had the underwear bomber......




Are you seeing a pattern here?


Now, before you say anything about the underwear bomber....I know. He looks like any number of young Black Men who were on the last flight I took from Phoenix to Houston. That plane made it okay.

However, there is one thing other than his appearance that makes him 'not like the others'.

His name.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.


America, we need to start profiling.

If you look like any one of the above terrorists and/or your name includes any of the following:

Ala
Al
Abdul
Mohammed
Barack
Hussein
Obama
Osama
Hakim
Hakeem
Kareem
Achmed

or any other number of Muslim names (Google Search for your very own comprehensive list of names we should target) I am sorry, but YOU NEED TO BE PROFILED!

Think this is unfair?

Think that we shouldn't subject these people to enhanced pat downs while letting Grandma and Grandpa pass through security?

Okay. We won't profile them. We won't subject them to enhanced pat downs and body scans.

What we'll do is we'll give them their own airline. We can call it "Death Express"


We'll save you a seat.



I'm probably wrong.

You decide.
