    During the past week, one thing I've thought about a bit is that I really wouldn't be able to tell an Islamic person from a Pakistani.

    Well, first off, most Pakistani are Muslims.

    I recommend watching or listening to the BBC instead of our own (I am American) corporate-beholden news carriers. I started doing this a few weeks ago, and the difference in quality and perspective is incredible. The BBC website is a pain to navigate when you first start, but give it some time to get used to it. You can get streaming audio and video of most of their shows and news, and their web-based news is also very good.

    Given the sheer acting quality shown in of some of his roles, it doesn't really surprise me to see him sick of Star Wars.
