Thursday Miscellany

I guess we have an Arab Miss America, which is fine with me, but this line from the *Detroit Free Press* puzzles me: "[she is the first open Arab American to win Miss USA](http://www.freep.com/article/20100519/NEWS06/100519068/1001/rss01?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)." Are there closeted Arabs? Doesn't their olive-color skin color give it away? I mean, it's not like they're just hiding Judy Garland CDs under their coats. And are those closets big enough to fit Arabs and lesbians? \* \* \* \* \* \* \* And yet more questions: Is she [Catholic or Muslim](http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/37193792/ns/today-today%5Ffashion%5Fand%5Fbeauty/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com), or Arab or [Pole-ish](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/17/rima-fakih-stripper-photo%5Fn%5F579381.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)? If she says she's Catholic, does she get stoned to death by the Muslims? Does she get stoned to death by the Muslims anyway because she wore a two-piece bathing suit and danced on a pole? \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Gold going down? [Jon Nadler, senior analyst at Kitco.com, argues that gold prices will fall to $800 despite any short term upside.](http://www.thestreet.com/%5Fyahoo/video/10760170/golds-bull-run-is-doomed.html?cm%5Fven=YAHOOV&cm%5Fcat=FREE&cm%5Fite=NA&s=1&ref=thedailyeudemon.com#86551903001) When Kitco is talking like that, listen. [They're precious metal dealers](http://www.kitco.com/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Damn. And I was in good mood last night: "[the truth is 90% of congressional incumbents will probably be reelected](http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2010/05/which-type-of-incumbents-are-truly-in-danger/56971/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)." \* \* \* \* \* \* \* The easily-offended Maureen Dowd asks a good question, and it makes me snicker: "[Why, she asks, is Elena Kagan is called 'unmarried' instead of 'single'? Why are women subjected to this humiliating distinction?](http://www.theatlanticwire.com/opinions/view/opinion/Op-Ed-Spotlight-Why-Are-Single-Women-Called-Unmarried-3657?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)" \* \* \* \* \* \* \* It reminds me of the story about a woman who is standing in a grocery line. A drunk behind her is staring (and staring and staring) at her basket of groceries. He finally slurs, "You're single aren't you?" A bit startled, she says, "Yes, I am. You can tell that from looking at my groceries?" The drunk weaves a bit and says, "No. You're ugly." \* \* \* \* \* \* \* That last one might be apocryphal. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Hey man, I'm not writing this stuff just because the chicks dig it. Please do me a solid: patronize this site by accessing Amazon through the link in the upper-righthand corner. As of yesterday, I'm getting shut out in the Amazon May sweepstakes. Not a single order, and it's making me cry.
