ROOTS

A.M. Siriano (should we start calling you Tony the Syrian?) opens up a fine cant of rant on hyphenated Americans and their divisive Congressional caucuses. As the descendant of an English- Irish indentured servant with Cherokee and British and who-knows-what-else coursing through my veins, married to a Japanese wife who's as conservative and Republican as me though she isn't even a citizen (no, she doesn't actually vote), and the father of a mixed-blood son, I'm not into race caucusing either. They are, in the deepest sense of the term, un-American.

And while you're there, you may uncover his former secret identity. Heh. Proof that there is indeed one born every minute.
