Super Bowl Sunday

I was invited to a super bowl potluck last week. I was asked to bring Feta and Hummus but misunderstood and brought Fatah and Hamas. Although these things sound similar they are not interchangeable. The request did not seem that outrageous considering the recent Palestinian election. I live next door to a convenience store and I just now walked over to ask one of the Palestinian owners how to spell Hamas. I also asked if he thought Hamas lost its street cred and if he though the Al axa Martyrs Brigade might gain popularity with the coveted 18 to 35 demographic. He said he did not feel like talking about it with someone who didn’t know the difference between bean dip and a political party.
