On Where's the Ground Zero Terror Mosque? 39 Experts Explain!
So, basically, the multitude of horrid, seedy strip clubs/discount merchandise/fast food chains/megabanks/PATH trains that are "within a stone's throw" of the WTC site are ok because they are monuments to America's greatness and our love of buying shit. They are proof that the terrorists didn't win.
Whereas a house of worship erected by people who are not white Christians is an affront to our national identity. Ok, got it.

On Nation's Seat of Government Secretly Very Boring!
I've been in DC for two years, and I love it here. Of course, I'm a warmongering defense contractor and I get off on staring at the Brooks Brothers-clad DoD desk officers on the metro, so of course I like it here.
Also, anyone who ever interned here for the summer, I'm so glad you went home.

On Festering American Hellhole Claims To Be Marginally Less Odoriferous Than Generally Acknowledged
The boat was my "almost home" sign on the way home from Irish dancing competitions out in Queens or Long Island. All pristine and white, rising out of the horizon. I'm always disappointed when I pass it now because it's so much smaller than I remember in my childhood.
My dad's favorite story involving the boat involves him being in a state of inebriation driving home from the bowling alley and wondering how the hell a boat got into the middle of the road. He made it home ok.

Elmora is just fine. I didn't think that the industrial part of Elizabeth was fit for human habitation, but in any case, I have never detected a smell.

My mom learned how to drive on Tonnelle Ave in the 60s. 30 years later, she almost killed my sisters and I getting onto the Skyway over there.
Also, can I throw in Route 22? Not only is it the world's largest stripmall, but it has the giant boat in the middle of the highway that used to be (Nobody Beats) the Wiz. Plus the terrifying driving and the absence of exits and on-ramps guarantees at least one brush with death between Mountainside and Hillside.

On 'Mockingjay': Is It YA That Makes You Stupider or Smarter?
Question about the whole Harry Potter thing: If I was in the books' target age group (more or less) when they were first being published, is it that terrible that I continued the series when I was more or less an adult?
